Paranormal Activity 3 [HD]

Some people's favorite and my least favorite of the franchise...but I say see it either way!
First off, I should say that I LOVED parts one and two. The first two relied more heavily on very slow-building tension. These predecessors basically "taught" viewers how to watch these movies in the first 20-30 minutes by offering numerous subtle, relatively unimportant objects moving as if a spectral breeze had shifted them. This way when such production devices became important, the viewer had a trained eye--not unlike what was done with White Noise. These movies convey a style that is very unusual. So it came as no surprise to me that there was little middle ground in people's opinions of them; they loved'em or hated'em. I love'em. Why? Because my senses are all on full power; I'm all in; I'm practically concentrating on the screen and listening to every creak trying to sleuth out the next clue that something fishy is going on in that house. Some people may call this "work". I call it cool. [But people chatting during the movie are a much greater distraction than normal...

If You Don't Want to See Results, Don't Videotape Your Home
There are only two ways you can feel about this movie; you will either really like it or you will want your money/time back - I'm of the former camp but I do understand why some have not liked this movie. Basically you have to be invested in the story and it's a good one. In PA #1 and PA #2 we have two sisters who slowly come to realize that there is something supernatural going on in their homes. It's alluded that something happened in their childhood, something they seem to have forgotten about or buried in their memories that might be linked to what is going on in their homes. Each installment of the Paranormal series has a reason why their homes are being video taped and PA #3 is no exception.

In PA #3, we are taken back to the sisters as little girls, living with their Mom and stepfather. In short time, strange things start to happen, loud unexplained noises, movement, and Toby, who is Kristi's imaginary playmate. The stepfather videos weddings for a living and...

Part 3
This is my favorite one. In my opinion it was the scariest one, but as you can tell from other reviews, not everyone felt that way. But this movie gave me chills and I jumped quite a few times, which you will do if you have the volume turned up. I'll probably end up having a nightmare or two tonight.
