The experience of watching the Paranormal Activity films one after the other is like watching a story's layers gradually being peeled away, as more and more elements of the narrative are slowly revealed to the fervent fans who have been following this franchise from its beginning. I completely disagree with people who think that this franchise is an exercise in "rinse, repeat." That would be the c... read more

"I set up my cameras around the house. I can maybe capture something..."

With the Saw franchise having at long last ended in 2010, the Paranormal Activity series is now moving in to claim Saw's former Halloween release timeslot. But Saw and Paranormal Activity are different types of horror movies - while the Saw pictures relied on gratuitous violence and gore to generate thrills, th... read more

Being the third film in a series, it's good compared to some threequels in the past and it's a heck of a lot better than the second one.

Unlike the second movie this movie doesn't wait till the last twenty minutes to actually be scary. Right from the beginning about ten minutes in the scares start. Now, unlike the previous two films this movie relies on quick "BOO" type of scares whe... read more

An average movie

“Since I didn’t like ‘Paranormal Activity 2’ at all, I had some really low expectations regarding this sequel but, since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. The first funny thing with this movie was that at least 50% of the trailer didn’t end up in the actual movie which did piss off a lot of eager viewers (I don’t watch most trailers so it didn’t bother me). Anyway, as mentioned before, I thought ‘Paranormal Activity 2’ was pretty lame but, to be honest, I saw it years ago, I have to admit I didn’t remember much about it and I’m not sure how this 2nd sequel did fit in in this franchise.

"27.2. Netflix Uusintakatselu. Kolmososa tarttuu edeltäjäelokuvien siskosten lapsuuden tapahtumiin ja muistaa, että tyttölapset ovat itsessään pelottavia. Raivostuttavan äänekkäät, paljolti viljellyt ja päänsärkyä aiheuttavat jump scaret, joista osa vieläpä hahmojen tekemiä hassutteluja, ovat pilata kaiken aivan tyystin, mutta onneksi lopulta evil conquers all. Pomppuja edeltävä jännityksen kasvatus on enimmäkseen riittävän tehokasta mielenkiinnon ylläpitoon."
