Paranormal Activity 3 takes you back to where it all began and the activity is more intense than ever. The cameras are on and recording the chilling moments when evil begins to terrorize young sisters Katie and Kristi for the first time. Brace yourself for the horror phenomenon that delivers “heart-exploding scares”* so frightening that “the last 15 minutes will mess you up for life.”**

A leaner, meaner, and altogether scarier entry in the Paranormal Activity horror franchise, Paranormal Activity 3 is a well-oiled scare machine that delivers the gut-wrenching shocks of the original 2007 film. Fans may initially groan over the plot, which takes the tried-and-true sequel tack of flashing back to the "origin" of the first film's phenomena; here, we discover that the diabolical entity that plagued sisters Katie and Kristi (Katie Featherston and Sprague Grayden, both of whom return in "found footage" clips) has been after the girls since their adolescent years in the late '80s. There's an attempt to provide a reason for the haunting, which may or may not rankle franchise fans; its inclusion, however, doesn't interrupt the barrage of shudders and armrest-clutching frights encountered by the girls' father (Chris Smith), a wedding videographer whose skill with cameras uncovers glimpses of the monstrous presence in his house. Directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (Catfish) have a keen understanding of how to use the corners of their image to milk maximum suspense from a static shot or slow-moving pan, as shown in one of the film's most memorable scenes, in which a camera mounted on an oscillating fan first suggests and then reveals a terrifying moment. As before, the human element is the weakest link, though Chloe Csengery and Jessica Tyler Brown, as young Katie and Kristi, respectively, are convincingly hysterical at the proper moments. But one doesn't attend a Paranormal Activity film to see fine acting. The franchise is a thrill ride/rite of passage/endurance test for its loyal fans, and PA 3 has the horsepower to stand alongside the other pictures. --Paul Gaita

But I think that it is wrong to show people a trailer of a movie like this to get them to watch it or buy it, and then when you watch the movie for yourself your expecting to see those scenes in the movie, and you never do or they change something about it. They were alot of scenes that were cut out of this movie that were showed on the trailer letting people believe that what they showed on the trailer was in the movie. I'm not going to go into much detail. But one of the scenes that I'm talking about is the bathroom scene with the two little girls. Not what the trailer showed at all. If they are going to cut the scenes out of the movie that were on the trailer that your expecting to see, at least they could show them as deleted scenes or something like that in the speceal features. Movie did have good sound and picture quality. If it was not for the misleading trailer. I would have given this movie 4...

The movie builds up the anticipation greatly and pulls off the scares perfectly. There is an actual story behind it and the movie isn't just a bunch of scares with no plot. This is, in my mind, better than the first two in every single way. I have never screamed in a movie and it was bad at the theatre when i was with my friends i wouldn't let go of my friends arm cause i was so scared and when i let go of my friends arm there was a sweat mark on her sleeve, that's how scared i was. This movie is amazing. |
