It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

In 1988, in California, cinematographer Dennis moves to the house of his girlfriend Julie to raise a family with her daughters Katie and Kristi. Little Kristi has an imaginary friend named Toby while weird things happen in the house. Dennis decides to place cameras in the house to capture images during the night and soon he finds that there is an entity in the house. Paranormal Activity 3 is unfortunately another Paranormal Activity that besides some good moments it just misses completely the point and turns into a found footage "porn". (5/10)

This prequel to a prequel doesn't offer anything new, as it is pretty much a case of been there done that. Nothing about the film was credible, and the acting unconvincing. When the couple decided to film their sex scene, it was so obvious they either need marriage counselling or they've never had sex before. They just didn't know what to do! There are just so many flaws in the film. Notice on Night 7 the camera recording light is off, yet the camera is recording. With the girls, I got so confused with who is Katie and who is Kristi that it later didn't matter anymore. When Kristi stands motionless for more than an hour watching the couple sleep, it doesn't have much effect, as it feels they included this scene because a similar scene in the original film was highly effective. When Dennis scans the tapes, he never even sees this, though. Neither does he see when Kristi jumps off the banister. Both these events should have been important enough for them to focus on, but they don't. The imaginary friend story is also way too cliched. The film also blatantly steals from other films, including 'Poltergeist'.There are so many instances where it is just not logical for Dennis to be walking around with a handheld camera - especially towards the end. There are scenes where he literally picks up the camera first before trying to save the girls. Seriously!!! Who would believe this?On a positive note, I did find the moving camera set-up effective, as this was logical. I also enjoyed the absence of jump scares and jump scare music. In general, though, I would not have missed anything by not watching this.

We're still left with more questions than answers at the end of this - but it's enjoyable creepiness all the same.

Paranormal Activity 3 is one of the scariest horror films I've ever experienced. The film tells the start of how everything happened and how it all led to 2007's Paranormal Activity. The film has so much information pouring out that I love it,what I mean,there's so much information like that the demons name to kids is actually Toby. This film is from the director of Catfish the film and the show which I actually hate,BUT considering the amazing directors made this,I might give it a go! Paranormal Activity 3 is a awesome horror film!!!!
