Incrivelmente aborrecido. Aprecio a autenticidade, coerência e estilização do final dos anos 80, mas é preciso esperar três quartos (!) de uma hora para uma verdadeira assombração. Comparado com o segundo filme, bastante divertido, este é mais um regresso ao primeiro, onde bater com as portas e levantar o edredão são os maiores efeitos. Só talvez o ponto de partida final seja bastante bom, mas não acrescenta muito à pontuação final.

Não estou satisfeito com a atualização da série — o mal devia permanecer de cem por centos «paranormal», não estar ligado a caracteres satânicos, e não ser nomeado a partir de um calendário. Por outro lado, esperamos menos do que em filmes anteriores pela sua atuação, e a tensão é de novo completamente aumentada desde os primeiros sinais de medo até à inquietação paralisante. E eu adoro isso :-) O terceiro é a mais destinado ao público até agora, experimente, mesmo que não seja um fã dos antecessores. O sucesso comercial crescente da série é admirável, o produtor Akiva Goldsman tem a chave de uma mina de ouro, construída sobre fundações de um cêntimo.

Weaker than the first one, but much more imaginative and bearable than the uninteresting second one. The story cleverly returns to the past to depict the very beginning of the evil and thus can once again stir up the audience's anticipation, which must have disappeared after the second part. Admittedly, this adds significantly to the fact that this is the third entry and the level of scares would have to magically shoot up for the viewer to still be able to nervously bite their nails and be surprised, but the atmosphere this time around is uncomfortably palpable and the story builds up in exactly the way I wanted it to. In the first half, however, the film drags horribly and the amateurish cinematography, which is the icing on the cake during the night scenes, hurts it a lot. Besides, I have a bit of a bias against this series and view it more as a commercial fad than a ghost horror film that may become a cult classic in the future. But it’s hard to make something big for little money these days.

Despite recycling all the good and bad from the past, this is the best film in the series - those little girls garner sympathy on all fronts. Yet the most interesting thing about the whole project is that the trailer is one big fake. This opens the door to an interesting theory.

I have one problem with the Paranormal Activity franchise: the obsession of all the members of that family (across generations) to constantly film themselves feels very artificial. In order to make it easier for viewers to get their bearings between scary scenes, the characters film themselves in situations where no real person would do it. The best way to solve that would be to abandon the format of 100% documentary footage, i.e. that most of the film would still consist of night footage from cameras, but the parts that move the plot forward would be like a normal film (as in the recent found-footage Undocumented). But if you are willing to accept the rules of the game, you are in for a good time. Paranormal Activity 3 is the scariest entry in the series. The jump-scares are perfect (and there are lots of them), it holds the tension throughout (and at times it gets very tense), and the last five minutes gave me for the first time in the three parts the sensation that some big fucking evil is lurking in that house. The actors are very good, they feel authentic. The behaviour of the characters is very arguable at times, I admit that, but that’s common in the para-documentary format. Another point, the mythology. This prequel added so many interesting elements to it that I want another sequel ASAP. Everything makes sense so far, there aren’t any contradictions, and it leaves room for the sequels to reveal more. It’s very clear that the concept of this franchise will not appeal to everyone. For some people, the slow burn terror will be boring, others will not like the format, while others will get lost in the mythology. The bullshit of those who, already from the trailer speak about “the same shite as before”, only to watch the first CAMrip available and then slap each other on the back with the other retards at how right they were, is really off the mark. The evergreen of stupid Americans and their millions incomprehensibly wasted at the box office is beginning to happen here (The Three Musketeers 3D are leading this weekend and it’s not much better, is it?). On the other hand, the moment emotions and prejudices become part of the hate for any franchise, that’s when any rational discussion ends; that’s a well known and natural fact, and it doesn’t surprise me anymore, I got used to it with Saw. And there’s something else I want to say, but I can’t do it without spoilers, so watch out... Spoiler: About the scenes in the trailer that are not in the film: while waiting for PA3 (and even before the trailers), it was clear that the plot would revolve around Kristie and Katie remembering the events that took place in the previous episodes, when they were little. They remember how they held seances, that weird people came to the house, that Kristie was always terrified, that the house burned down. All that is touted in the trailers, but NOTHING of it is in the film. And here’s the surprise (the twist), the third part is showing something that the sisters are actually not remembering! The climax opens a lot of possibilities: the girls and the mother (who may not be dead) won’t remember anything after the ritual (like Kristie at the end of the second part) and things will go on as if nothing had happened; the scary events reminisced by the adult sisters (including the fire) are maybe yet to come. This is my interpretation, but I think that, in light of the “evidence”, it’s quite a legitimate one. If that’s the case, all that bitching at the creators (those assholes promised something they didn't deliver!!!) is actually the opposite reaction that would be appropriate. It was a very smart surprise :) End of spoilers.
