The second reason why I wanted to see PA3 is because the first two movies....didn't really scare me that much. They left me unsatisfied in the "scare factor". Of course I was a little bit creeped out by the movies, but I didn't really feel "scared". The first two movies were essentially a little bit boring to me. I had no idea why everyone was so terrified of Paranormal Activity. haha All my friends at school said that "Oh, you know, it's so scary! It's like the scariest movie ever!" I responded, "HOW do you know what scary is? Do you sit at home watching scary movies all day like I do? No, I don't think so!" hahaha I don't know... I'm not saying that the PA movies aren't good, I just don't think they were as scary as everyone else claimed they were. I mean the PA movies are definitely good movies. They storyline keeps me intrigued all the time and it's one of the few movies I know of that can get away with not having a soundtrack at all. O_O haha The PA movies definitely do deserve their attention, but I just don't get scared by them. Not being scared by a movie is no a bad thing because whatever the PA movies lacked in the "Scare factor" they made up with the "spooky/creepy factor." The PA movies were kinda like the first Blair Witch movie. You don't see anything and they leave you hanging. haha XD
Anyways, Paranormal Activity 3 was a pretty good movie. There was a lot more to see in this movie than the first two PA movies. I consider PA3 to be the best out of all the Paranormal Activity movies so far. I think that this movie had more of a "scare factor" to it and I enjoyed it. The Bloody Mary scene in the movie was definitely something. O_O That was pretty freaky. haha I tried playing Bloody Mary before with my friends, but now...I kind of don't want to try it again after seeing that scene. haha XD There was a lot going on in this movie, and it seemed that the "spirits" interacted with the characters a lot more in this movie as well. Like I said before, there was a lot more to see in this movie. It wasn't just some shadows and noises. The ghosts were actually hurting them and interacting with them....violently, but at least they did something. haha So I was satisfied with the "scare factor" of the movie.
In PA3 they tell you about the beginnings of "activity." Not the very, very beginnings, but close enough. haha XD Basically, the story starts when the two sisters from the first two movies were little girls. They seem like a normal family, but things go a bit weird when the youngest sister, Christi, starts talking to her imaginary friend Toby. (By the way, WHO THE HELL IS TOBY?!) The husband/father senses something is wrong, but he doesn't really know what. He sets up cameras all throughout the house just to experiment and see if anything is going on in the house. Eventually, all the paranormal activity starts getting captured on tape. The family starts to freak out a bit, and the husband/father starts going into the history of his wife's family. He finds out something that relates to some satanic cult, and eventually when they go to the grandmother's house....well the 2 sisters survive and we get to see some spine breaking! O_O Then it goes to the credits with absolutely no music to support the movie at all. I applaud this movie for not having a soundtrack! haha XD That's freakin' awesome! :D
Yeah, like I said before, there's apparently some Satanic stuff going on and that's the reason why all the "activity" is happening. It always ends up as Satanic stuff. haha Now, I didn't really have a problem with this, but I noticed that a lot of horror movies these days are about exorcisms and demonic spirits/possession. O_O Seriously, "Drag Me To Hell," "The Rite," "Paranormal Activity 3," and many other recent horror movies seemed to have this exorcist/satanism/demonic possession vibe to them. O_O Are we entering into a new era of horror films where everything has to do with exorcism, religious cults, and demonic possession? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but really? haha It seems to me that horror movies these days are either remakes or about what I mentioned above. I don't know..maybe it's just me noticing that. Even the trailer before PA3 started was for a movie about exorcism and demonic possession! (That movie is called "The Devil Inside"...I think haha) Is it just me or does anyone else notice this trend? haha XD I don' know...that's just what I think.
Go check out "Paranormal Activity 3" if you haven't yet. It will definitely answer some of your questions and possibly satisfy you if you were like me at the end of PA2. When I say "like me" I mean you were cursing at the movie screen and saying "WHAT THE- THAT'S IT!?! NO! NO! NO! DON'T YOU END NOW! I HAVE 50 QUESTIONS FOR YOU!!" hahaha Well, that's it for now. Go watch the movie and STAY HEAVY! \m/
