Review of Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension (2015) by Kizercritic — 27 Oct 2015

This film was is the "last installment" of the Paranormal Activity franchise, and it doesn't exactly go out with a bang. The film is decent at best and ends just as open ended as the previous films.

This film attempts to relate itself to the third installment (my favorite) and does a mediocre job at doing so. The film needed tie the majority of its loose ends and leave the invested viewers with a sense of contentment, but it doesn't.

The effects in this film vary from pretty good to absolutely brutal and the 3D is not utilized properly. 3D in my mind at least is there to put the viewers in the film not to sling **** at them, and this film flings more **** at you than a pissed of monkey on miralax.

With that being said, the repetitive jump scares continue to be 90% of generates fear and a lot of them are just people walking into frame. Now what did Paranormal do right this time around? Well, that acting is not brutal, and for the most part feels pretty natural and real.

When I heard that we would actually see Tobey in this film I was skeptimistic, due to the fact that what you can't see is always scarier that what you can. Although for the most part (when the VFX weren't crap) they made him a very intimidating character, and did a good job of revealing his form and size.

At the end of the day you know that the film isn't going to be perfect, and if you keep your expectations low then you will enjoy this film.
