This film, to put it very bluntly, was one of the worst horror films I have seen in recent years. The trailer for this film had me believing that The Paranormal Activity series may have come up with a new, truly scary, idea. The promise of, "like something you've never seen," which flashes across the screen during the trailer convinced me that the film would have a new concept that finally revealed just how terrifying the Activities would have been if you could see them happening right in front of you. However, this film does exactly the opposite. It's literally the same idea that was introduced in previous Paranormal Activity films with the added exception of now you get to SEE the activity take place.
Hmmmm that huge black figure hovering over my daughter is quite peculiar. I know i'll set up some more cameras, instead of getting my daughter the hell out of that room, so I can be reassured that she is truly getting staulked by a demon. The actors in this film are so incredibly unconvincing it pains me to watch. You know you picked the wrong people for the job when you walk out of the theatre and think the best performance was done by a 7 year old child. When the priest, who apparently knew nothing about exorcisms, learns overnight how to remove demons from a household he claims he knows what do. It was laughble. I kept waiting for him to hit a boom box that immediately started playing the Ghostbusters theme song. In all honesty, Bill Murray flying through the door with his proton pack, sucking up all the demons in the house, would have proved to been a better ending than what preceded. The Director's attempt to incorporate ideas from other horror films such as the Insidious series which introduced a sort of Ghost Dimension called the further, if you've seen this you know what I'm talking about, was a complete fail. The Ghost Dimensions scare factor was destroyed by a poor story line and sub-par actors and actresses. The jump scenes were so unoriginal they failed to even draw a wince out of a majority of the theatre. A movie that lasted 1 hour and 30 minutes provided the worst display of rising action I had ever scene. I sat there for an hour and 15 minutes anxiously waiting for a climax to the story, and when it did it was a huge let down. The Director apparently forgot that he need an ending to his uneventful story. "O shoot you know what I forgot to write an ending because I was to busy trying to scare people with my incredible jump scenes. Better just kill everyone off." The ending is so brief and SOOOO damn unoriginal I was tempted to start my rant right in the theatre. A lot of horror films are utter failures but something about this one forced me to write a poor review on it. The fact that these films still draw viewers, including myself, is beyond me. The Ghost Dimension places the cherry on top the mound of doodoo left behind by the previous 5 films. They've squeezed every last drop out of the franchise and in my opinion this film should be, and hopefully will be, the last installment for this franchise.
