Name - Paranormal Activity 3 (2011) Rating - 8 out of 10 Review - (contains minor spoilers) I wasn't a big fan of the first two Paranormal Activity films. I liked them, but I really disliked how it felt like they poked butt throughout the movies and a lot of the scares were cheap. Thanks to my sister, I got a free screening on Tuesday. I went in with an open mind; it was like going to a birthday party for a kid you didn't like too much -- as long as there was cake, you would be fine. And, boy was there cake!! First off, half of the scenes in the trailers weren't in the film at all (although I hear that there are multiple endings for this one as well). That being said, the trailer is very misleading, but in the best way possible. It tells the story of why the two sisters are being "haunted" in the first two films. The movie is like walking through a haunted house set up for Halloween -- one of the professional ones that takes months in planning. Scares in this movie were throughout the entire film -- although a lot of them were jump scares (a character jumps out just to scare another character). When the scares dealt with the demon, who in this film is named "Toby", they were pretty creepy and effective. I'm not one who gets scared easily, but this movie made me jump. And the last fifteen minutes of the film were the best fifteen minutes in the entire movie. To sum it all up, Paranormal Activity 3 is the best out of the series thus far. The scares were well planned and it got to you on many levels. Some of the scares seemed very cheap and you may feel lost at times. It is advised to watch the other two movies prior to this, or else you may not understand anything at all. This is also a movie you should see with a crowd; you'll thank me later.
