Paranormal Activity 3

I respected the first Paranormal Activity for its effective simplicity as a horror, but the ending was less satisfying than a raw potato sandwich. Luckily, this third entry provides that much needed substance, milking the udder of a concept that was merely pinched. The set pieces are grander, the main characters are actually likeable and bold new camera techniques are implemented, like panning (mounted on the world’s slowest moving fan). Despite the film’s fantastic ability to harvest tension from your imagination, I still have distain towards its reliance on cheap shock tactics. See it with a crowd, if you must.
