Paranormal Activity 3 review

I'm back! And here's the review I promised.

Yesterday I went to see the new Paranormal Activity 3.

It starts off somewhere just around the beginning of Paranormal Activity 2 (and 1 for that matter). And as far as I remember the order is:
Paranormal Activity 3 starts off just before Paranormal Activity 2 and somewhere along Paranormal Activity 2 the plot of the original Paranormal Activity unfolds. Headache?

Well on to the review:

I wanna get out of the way that I'm not big on sequels. specially not in horror movies. I tend to think the plot dies in sequels, although I felt the plot was thinned out in the movie, I still found it enjoyable. Besides plot is nice and important but it's not everything.

Which brings me to the scare-factor. This movie had some stupid-scares (you'll feel pretty stupid, when you see it), also some comical scares, which I love. It's great to see something being scary, but makes you laugh too. And overall the sounds and eerie feeling you get from watching a Found Footage movie still remained.

I got really annoyed by some of the characters though, which can really ruin a movie if they're important to the plot, even though I powered through it, somebody might give up on it.

Another pro would be the style and pattern of Paranormal Activity was still honored in this movie. It's nice to see that they found a style and stuck to it, yet still expanded it and experimented with it. like adding security-cameras in Paranormal Activity 2 and now giving the impression of an old camera.

All in all, this movie was enjoyable with some good scares, but it's starting to become a more fan-oriented movie. Outsiders or people who don't like the series should consider another movie. For the rest of us: Wanna see the series go full circle, then go watch it. I for one had a nice time and some distressing moments.

Verdict: 4/6 not the best thing I've ever seen and not really that strong of a movie. but it has it's charm.

New review coming out!

And I'm finally back and able to continue this blog.

I have a brand new review for you guys!
Later tonight I'm going to see the new Paranormal Activity 3 and I'll review it by tomorrow, so stay tuned.

Don't go alone.
