The Paranormal Activity franchise all started from a low budget horror film that took a whole new approach in recording and filming a scary movie. Most of the movie is shown as a video recording and they somehow keep the audience captivated. So the third instalment of Paranormal Activity was nowhere near as bad as the second one. I would say this movie really made up for the terrible second attempt. Paranormal Activity 3 is actually a prequel of a prequel if that makes any sense. Basically this film shows what happened to the two sisters when they were growing up and how this all started. The movie takes place in 1988 and you can actually tell with the old school video recording technology. This film was very clever despite the barrier of bad recording instruments. I don’t want to spoil anything so all I will say is there is a rotating camera. Just think of all the fun they can have with a rotating camera! This film did a very decent job on getting the jump on you. Almost every scene kept me on my toes, always ready for something to just pop out of nowhere. There were also some funny scenes that kind of made the audience feel at ease for the little time it lasted. It’s always good to add some humour into a film even if it is a horror flick. I actually thought this film was going to be a disaster due to the second one so it really surprised me after watching it. It was just as good as the first one I’d say if not better! 6.5/10 not bad at all.
Can’t wait till next week when I will be watching and reviewing a personal favourite, A Very Harold & Kumar 3-D Christmas!
