Fresh feeling and a gloriously gonzo finale.

It's another low-budget, high-concept excursions into shock horror filmmaking that once again uses the audience's imagination against them to produce a wild flurry of shrieks and scares.

PA3 not only delivers quality jolts in spades, it turns out to be much scarier than The Blair Witch Project.

If you don't expect innovation from a part three, then this won't disappoint: it may be hokey, but the scares still work.

The activity is pretty normal in Paranormal Activity 3, at least relative to its predecessors.

You know what's coming, but every time the lights dim and the night number title card appears, you anxiously await the demons next taunt, a number of which are unforgettable.

Audience Reviews for Paranormal Activity 3

Apr 06, 2015Paranormal Activity could very well be the only horror franchise worth watching that's new to our screens in the past decade. It can't be denied that each film does borrow somewhat from the last and for some the repeated tirade of CCTV-like footage displaying apparitions, slamming doors and distant wailing could get insufferable really fast, I personally found Paranormal Activity 3 to be far stronger than 2 and on par with 1. The last twenty minutes of the film are really quite something and express promising talent and unforgetable jolts. In Paranormal Activity 3 it is what's suggested that is much scarier than what is seen.Harry W Super Reviewer

Jan 06, 2014It would have been a better film had it not been made as "Found Footage," because there is real ingenuity in the way this prequel scares its audience and expands on the mythology, but the drawbacks to this style, such as long drawn out periods of nothing happening and limited perspectives, are now at their most evident.Edward B Super Reviewer

Nov 02, 2013The same, tired tricks are used, but these do not take away from the film's ability to engage. It is in fact more involved than its predecessors, and delivers just as many, if not more, scares. The acting, in typical Paranormal Activity fashion, is raw and believable. The found-footage genre may be overused at this point, but it works well in this film, and helps create the required suspense. The plot twist was completely unexpected and brilliantly developed. This film is a heart-pounding, entertaining chapter with more thrills and chills than most horror films in recent memory.Matthew Samuel M Super Reviewer

Oct 31, 2012Along with the the original movie, this is one of the better Paranormal Activity movies. That isn't to say it's great, but it makes for a relatively entertaining, if gimmicky and poorly written, scary movie. Don't expect to see any of the scenes from the trailer though; very few of them are actually in the movie.Joey S Super Reviewer
