Paranormal Activity 3 Reviews

Movie Reviews

• you can get on with jumping out of your skin

  by Ian Berriman [SFX Magazine ]

• trying to offer a quasi-logical explanation for the ghostly goings-on it comes a-cropper

  Review rate : C- by Frank Swietek [One Guy's Opinion ]

• this is the rare third film that is arguably better than its predecessors

  by Peter Howell [Toronto Star ]

• there's not much to the characters, and the final twist doesn’t make much sense in the context of the film

  by Stephen Whitty [Newark Star-Ledger ]

• the staging and editing is highly sophisticated and the special effects used sparingly and precisely as the tension ratchets to a surprising ending

  by Simon Weaving [Screenwize ]

• the flick indulges in the deplorable but all-too-common horror trope of placing children in mortal danger

  Review rate : B- by Corey Hall [Metro Times ]

• the climax of the 81-minute film comes rather suddenly

  Review rate : B by Adam Graham [Detroit News ]

• offers more laughs and somewhat more character development than the previous installments

  by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]

• no one will watch it twice

  by Kyle Smith [New York Post ]

• more of the same, though creepier than it was the last time around

  Review rate : B- by William Goss [Film.com ]

• it may be that the best way to see this picture is at a latish show in a house packed with a bunch of zonked or slightly tweaked urban teens, which was how this reviewer experienced it

  by Glenn Kenny [MSN Movies ]

• features variations on every one of the tricks I just mentioned, and a few additional ones (they all work), but more than the first two films, it tweaks our desire to put a face on evil

  Review rate : A- by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly ]

• earns points for its low-key ability to keep viewers primed over long stretches to expect that something very bad, or even worse, may happen at any moment

  by Joe Leydon [Variety ]

• camera movement gets tedious and repetitive

  by Wilson Morales [BlackFilm.com ]

• although not exactly breaking any new ground with its by now all too familiar found-footage format, Paranormal Activity 3 hews to the formula in expertly crafted fashion, mustering up the requisite scares and then some

  by Frank Scheck [Hollywood Reporter ]
