Paranormal Activity 3 does bring some scary to the theatre, and for that it serves it's purpose. After seeing the first 2, you can kinda guess when something is going to happen. That is the only problem with a movie like this is it does get a little stale at this point. They did bring some new things to the table in this one that I thought were cool more than scary. I don't want to ruin anything for anyone, but there are about 3 scenes that I thought were a little different scare. The story is a prequel to the first two. It is set in 1988 when the girls from the first two are first introduced to the demon. The little girls do an okay job of playing innocent and creepy at the same time. Toby is the name of the demon, and he is still after that little boy that he's been wanting since the first Paranormal. Overall, it is worth seeing if you just want to see something a little spooky during this time of year. It is directed by the guys that did Catfish last year, and they could've chosen a better second project than this.
My main problem with the movie was the trailer. They put several things in the trailer that I thought were cool, and they left them on the cutting room floor. Very strange to me to lure people in with the things in the trailer then not include them in the movie. I'm sure they had their reasons, but this lowers my review a little. Here is a little article about the things they left out:
Like I said, go check it out if you want to see a scary movie, but be sure you know a little background from the first two movies, or you'll be confused at the end. I had to go look up the ending stuff to totally understand, so that means they didn't explain it very good...2 1/2 M&Ms.
