I can't believe I've seen this more than once, it's just too good just like all the other movies. It would have been so much better if the filmmakers had made this longer; incorporating some of the footage you only see in the trailers and make the movie two hours of fright! The house fire should've been in here as part of keeping in continuity with the original Paranormal Activity, and the movie would've made more sense and would've been more scarier! But for now, this is a go.

Paranormal Activity 3 (2011) Starring:Lauren Bittner, Christopher Nicholas Smith,Chloe Csengery, Jessica Tyler Brown, Hallie Foote, Dustin Ingram, Johanna Braddy, Katie Featherston, Brian Boland, and Sprague Grayden Directed by Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman Review IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY I'm not doing it,nope not this time, oh heck no not another, nope not doing it this time, no I'm not watching another Paranormal activity movie ever again their stupid. Wait hold up what do you mean this one's good, what do you mean the characters aren't morons, what do you mean it has genuine scares? Oh wait it really does. Hello kiddies your pal the crypt-critic is back with some serious and bizarre stuff going on in your bed There is something you should know I do not like the first two installments in this franchise in fact I hate them a lot. I hated them both with a passion, I found them extremely boring, uneventful wastes of my time but what grind my gutters the most about them was that the supposed demon haunting this family did nothing remotely frightening to them. It opened and closed doors, moved bed sheets around and a pool cleaner was possessed in the second film. A pool cleaner kiddies a freaking pool cleaner that's pretty stupid and pretty much it. Those films were boring, tedious, repetitive throughout their run time. A friend of mine said he saw four on xbox and said I should watch it cause of how stupid it was but I could not watch it cause I had yet to see three so I just saw and uttered four words I never thought I'd say about a paranormal activity film. "That was freaking creepy." Paranormal Activity 3 is surprisingly a good movie. Like I said before kiddies I hated the first two movies but this film finally got the concept of a paranormal entity right. This time were watching footage from the 80's as we see the sisters from the first two films as little girls living with their mother and step-father. The younger sister Kristie starts interacting with her invisible friend Tobey who as it turns out is the demon from the first two films. Pretty soon they all find themselves being terrorized by Tobey who wants something that won't be revealed until the end. Now of course it's simple like the first two films which I really don't mind but the directors behind this one manage to pace the film in a good manner, not too good I was kind of bored until more things with the little girls started happening but the tension actually worked. Now remember how I said in the first two films the demon barely did anything, in this film this mother hubber gets violent. He's hanging people by their necks, throwing stuff across the room, launching the furniture everywhere. As this takes place before the first two films you can only assume Tobey lost his confidence or got bored in his old age. This demon actually does stuff in this movie, and after the first thirty minutes his presence is throughout the film. There are scenes were you are waiting for things to happen but when things start happening the movie starts booming. The characters and actors in the first two movies annoyed the heck out of me, I hated them. I didn't like them, I didn't find them interesting, nor did they do anything to pull me into those movies. When the Kristy starts talking to Tobey in the film the step-father is confused but the mother says she does stuff like this all time. Having a step-father who is new to dealing with these little girls was a smart idea and making him a filmmaker was also a smart idea cause now your giving this character a reason to set up all these cameras inside the house and carry a camera everywhere, for once that concept doesn't feel forced upon the audience or the film. But the best acting in this film are little girls who play Kristy and Katie, they act like a young and older sister would act it all feels genuine and felt like I was watching real life while as in the first two films I knew I was watching actors attempting to be scared at stuff that isn't scary. I think the main the main reason I enjoyed this movies is the same reason I enjoyed Transformers:Dark of the moon where as dark of the moon gave me the deception takeover I always wanted in the first two terrible transformer films, Paranormal activity 3 gave the scary entity I've been wanting to see for two movies. Now the demon is actually a threat on screen, he's no longer up randomly moving bed sheets, closing doors or possessing freaking pool cleaners! He's getting violent, causing pain, he's scary, he's more interesting now. Paranormal Activity 3 is the first film in this franchise to not be bore me to my freaking core. It has genuine scares, good characters, and it is a found footage horror film that is actually very good, I'm giving this a three and a half out of five.

No this is not scary at all. It is just some bad actors screaming in the dark. I saw this in a theater and had a laugh because I was the only one not getting scared. Most people these day can't sit throw an old horror movie because they would pee in there pants. By time this movie gets any were there is not even a minute. Paranormal activity 4 is better and that one is not any thing that good believe me. The story line is awful. The ending is awful. It is not scary. Why would any one 10 or older get scared. This is just so lame. Don't see it. If you got scared of this don't see Dracula (1931) or any of the exorcist movie because you will pooh in your pants. L.O.L.

Paranormal Activity could very well be the only horror franchise worth watching that's new to our screens in the past decade. It can't be denied that each film does borrow somewhat from the last and for some the repeated tirade of CCTV-like footage displaying apparitions, slamming doors and distant wailing could get insufferable really fast, I personally found Paranormal Activity 3 to be far stronger than 2 and on par with 1. The last twenty minutes of the film are really quite something and express promising talent and unforgettable jolts. In Paranormal Activity 3 it is what's suggested that is much scarier than what is seen.
