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 2^nd sequel did fit in in this franchise. If I understand correctly, it all started in the present with Katie and Kristi (Katie was the girl in the very first ‘Paranormal Activity’, I’m pretty sure I recognized her) and, then suddenly, we went back to the 80’s when Katie and Kristi were some little girls? To be honest, I’m not sure if it all made sense narratively speaking but, anyway, somehow, I thought the damned thing was not bad at all after all even if, by now, the whole concept was certainly becoming redundant. I don't know, it probably had to do with the fact that I had such low expectations and also with the fact I hadn’t seen a movie from this franchise for more than 5 years. Anyway, I thought the damned thing was quite effective and I was actually on the edge of my seat through the whole duration. To conclude, even though I had lost hope with this franchise a long time ago, I have to admit that this 3^rd instalment turned out to be actually quite entertaining and I think it is worth a look but probably only if you really like the genre.
