This is the third sequel to the infamous film Paranormal Activity. This story is set in 1988, years before the first series of tapes were discovered. These tapes follow the childhood story of Katie and her sister Kristi Rey. Julie is living with her boyfriend Dennis, and their two daughters in a new house. Dennis and Julie agree to attempt to make a sex tape. There is an earthquake and dust appears to fall upon an human image. Strange noises continue to happen, so he decides to set-up video camera's in their bedroom and in their daughters bedroom. It becomes apparent that Kristi's friend Tobe has sinister motives against the family, and their friends. This film begins during the sequel of the trilogy. After the tapes disappear then it goes into the past. This film was directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. This film uses the same handheld camera techniques to tell a story that the other films had done. The first film had a single handheld camera, the second used security camera's, but this one used two handheld camera's and a rotating camera. The rotating camera was brilliantly set-up to capture the living room and the kitchen. This film has plenty of jump moments, but it's mainly plays to audience's built-up tension. Unfortunately this one uses more Hollywood techniques, and it is obvious that it had a higher budget. A few times I was reminded of The Poltergeist. This film had an actual script whereas the first was entirely improvisational script. The editing of the film was too clean cut. There are moments when scene's got cut too early and ruined the eerie atmosphere. Whatever was in the first film did not carry onto this one. The ending was too random. There was much that was left unexplained, and it all happened all at once.
Chloe Csengery played the role of young Katie. She does great in presenting a terrifying ghost, and being caught in the center of the attack. Jessica Tyler Brown plays the role of young Kristi Rey. She is very creepy in this role. She also really creates the tension of the film. Lauren Bittner plays the role of Julia. She tries to be the sensible realist who doesn't believe in the paranormal. She is good in this film. She isn't haunted until the end of the film. She is believable as the neurotic mother. Christopher Nicholas Smith plays the role of Dennis. He is the light hearted boyfriend who is trying to figure out what all is happening. He is great to watch, and someone audience's can easily relate to.
I give this film a 8 out of 10 stars! This film was good and full of jump moments. But it was too clean cut and hurt the realistic imagery it was aiming for.
