Review of Paranormal Activity 3 (2011) by Kevin M — 06 May 2012

An excellent prequel to the 2009 hit. I can definitely see people complaining that it wasn't scary, but if you didn't jump at least once, there's something wrong with your nervous system. Paranormal 3 provides a generous amount of great scares and a generally creepy atmosphere and uses interesting and new camera techniques.

For example, the cameraman decided to take the fan off of it's rotating base and tape the camera to it, so the camera pans from the kitchen to the living room consistently. The writers utilized this technique to scare the audience to the absolute fullest.

While the acting is nothing groundbreaking, you really don't need Oscar performances for this type of movie. It's objective was to scare me, and it scared the hell out of me.
