We then cut directly to the content of those video tapes, which follow young Katie (Chloe Csengery) and Kristi (Jessica Tyler Brown) in 1988, living with their mother Julie (Lauren Bittner) and her wedding videographer boyfriend Dennis (Christopher Nicholas Smith) in Santa Rosa, California.įrom here events play out much like the other two films. So, there might never be a better time to look back and see what the third chapter of this ghostly saga was trying to tell us.
#ACTIVITY PARANORMAL 3 SERIES#
Currently it has a 66% on the Tomatometer, well above the dismal 30% currently held by the latest series entry "Next of Kin." And while "Next of Kin" was only tenuously connected to the other films, word is that the "The Other Side" will return to the source material and heavily reference the events of the third film. Though by no means the best of the series, it's also far from the worst. In this regard, the central component is "Paranormal Activity 3." Taking place more than fifteen years before any of the other films, it serves as a kind of prequel origin story, without which none of the subsequent events would be possible. Though there's legitimate debate and frustration from fans about how skillfully the events of all the films are woven into each other, one has to admit that piecing them all together can be a lot of fun.
Found footage horror movies are relatively cheap to produce, and - as we learned from the smashing success of the first film - the format provides a unique way to tell a poltergeist story.
In some ways, the appeal of the "Paranormal Activity" series is easy to understand.
