Two young sisters Katie and Kristi live with their mother, Julie (Lauren Bittner) Kristi begins talking to an invisible friend named Toby. Since Toby became known, strange things have started to happen in the house.
Paranormal Activity 3 is a prequel to the first two movies and it answers a few questions about the origin of the demon in the other movies.
I wasn't expecting to enjoy this third installment as I felt the concept was getting a bit old. However there are enough new ideas to keep things interesting and the tension high, especially the rotating camera that is set up which rotates between viewing the living room and the kitchen. It's a great tension builder.
If you're looking for a blood and gore horror movie you'll be disappointed, these films effect you by building up tension via creepy sounds effects, camera work and unexplained activities. Personally I find the paranormal activity series terrifying, despite my dislike for the home video first person perspective style movies, it certainly works well in this case. The paranormal activity movies are some of the scariest movies I have seen.
I highly recommend this one and the previous two, this movie triggers so much fear from such a basic low budget film. You may want to avoid if you were not a fan of the previous two films because this is more of the same.
