    I always like when a movie trailer goes “from the twisted mind behind ____” because it makes the movie sound so dangerous, like only a real psycho could have directed Paranormal Activity 3 and then decided to direct another movie, he should have been locked up!

    Put on my good old comfort movie, Paranormal Activity 3, only to realize this is my first watch as a parent! Would that make it scarier (no longer fun), or scarier (even more fun!!) this time around? It's option B, baybeeeeee! Reach those new psychological depths, Toby my boy

    Ever watched a film, years later, and realize you missed a detail that explains something that seemed arbitrary? Currently rewatching Paranormal Activity 3. The part where the babysitter jumps due to a loud noise had something else I never caught: The ghost fucks with her blouse! I never noticed.

    After falling 73% this weekend, there's a chance 2026's Scary Movie could become only the second non-DC Comics movie ever to open to $50+ million domestically yet gross under $110 million. Paranormal Activity 3 has the lowest North American total for a $50+ million opener with a $104 million finish

    Seeing the reaction during Avengers at midnight when Thanos appeared in the post-credit, or watching people jump at a packed screening of Paranormal Activity 3… these are the awesome things the theatrical model gives us, and watching a movie on streaming alone with commercial breaks can’t beat that.

    Movie #17: Paranormal Activity 3 (2011) The perfect prequel! Set in 1988, this chapter fully reveals the roots of the curse, showing 'Tobi's first appearance to young Katie and Kristi. It gives the series the deep lore it needed. A solid, scary origin story. #31DaysOfHorror #HalloweenMarathon

    Yeah, the series went off the rails and got real lazy after this, and I know these movies have their detractors, but PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3 rules. It's the film equivalent of sitting in a closet with your sibling and telling spooky stories with a flashlight.

    Finally watched Paranormal Activity 3. I still think the first movie is the scariest in terms of the overall story, but 3's ending is much scarier than the first's. I was so squeamish and uneasy! 😬 I just had issues with the many jumpscares for the 3rd film

    PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3 is particularly home movie-centric as well. Have you considered THE WNUF HALLOWEEN SPECIAL? It’s not entirely a home movie but it is a VHS recorded off of live TV and there is a big home movie element at the end of the “tape.”

    Ranking of how annoying each HAB (husband-and-boyfriend) is in each movie: 3. Dennis, Paranormal Activity 3. Switched things up by being a wife guy who wasn't believed. Probably spent way too much of his working wife's money, but hey, I didn't want him to die every two seconds.

    Paranormal Activity 3 is a faithful continuation of the series, delivering all the expected horrors and more. Colour me surprised. This one was better than the second, and I enjoyed it more than the first one. The atmosphere of “Paranormal Activity 3” is similar to the first film, and the larger cast delivers respectable performances. The scares might not be as effective as they once were since the same formula is becoming stale, but a handful of fresh ideas were good enough to compensate for…

  • JPV852 @JPV852TMDB reviews · Oct 6, 2022

    A tad better than the first if only because at 84-minutes there's not as much filler and a couple creepy scenes. Still not great with forgettable characters but at least watchable, although it was a bridge too far with the HD-quality level of video for a camera from 1988. 2.5/5
