Paranormal Activity (part 2)

Paranormal Activity (part 2)

Well, I watched the rest of the movies in the Paranormal Activity series. Yesterday, I watched movies #1, #2 and #3. Today I saw #4, The Marked Ones and Ghost Dimension. These movies are good to watch if you want to get in the mood for Halloween. Or you can just watch them any time of year if you just want to watch something scary. There is another movie that came out last year called “Next of…

Usually I'm chill with letterboxd usually I'm pretty much in the same area as most people that review movies on there. Maybe I think a movie is more boring than other people. BUT apparently everyone fucking HATES paranormal activity 4 except for me which is CRAZY because I think it's the best one I've watched so far and I SWEAR I'm not just saying that because Kathryn Newton is in it but it clearly is a factor

The Franchise Files - Paranormal Activity 4.

This review contains spoilers. Yep, you guessed it, almost exactly 1 year later, Paranormal Activity 4 hit the cinemas. I have to be honest with you guys, after the shit show that was PA3 I kinda lost interest in the franchise, so from here on out, I don’t have any nostalgic bias for these movies. This movie starts out with a flashback from September 2006 of Katie giving Hunter a present. We then…

Paranormal Activity 4-6: Thoughts

Paranormal Activity 4:

Paranormal Activity 4 is where the original novelty of the series kinda begins to wain off a bit and it becomes very, oddly conveluted. The film for one, isn't really scary, any semblence of the sound design from the prior films that really allowed for tense moments to, feel tense is just gona. I find it interesting that the addition of sound, air, noise in silence so to speak is more horrifying than, the lack of iot approach taken here. The characters are, fine, I like Alex and Ben enough but they ain't Dennis or Micah. Here more than ever the situation seems very, spontaneous and random. I fail to understand why Hunter was, adopted, just for a second child to regather him for the coven. especially when the film begins stating their whereabouts are unknown. The Kinect thing was always a bit odd but I really do think it had very missed potential. I only noticed Tobey once, I just felt there was some missed potential even if it was just a bizarre little tie in (Dragula goes hard tho props to that being the first, incorperation of literally any song in the series) I do find it very funny that Katie has decided her signature move is just a quick neck snap, nice callback to the best part of 2 being, Daniel's death.

5/10

Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones

I don't follow the fandom, so, I'm really unsure where people sit on this one in particular. It's not scary that's for certain and seems to be where most people dropped off the boat in fairness. It's kind of a guilty pleasure film for me though, however only under the circumstance that I view it as a comedy as supposed to a horror film. I enjoy the switch up culturally from, white ass Americans to Mexicans, it allows for a different feel to the film from the rest and having it be a bit more primative, allows this to be the first purely handheld film of the franchise which, can be disorienting but strurally, again, it's different. They have a few still moments but I appreciate the constant action, it allows for a different kind of tension because the film keeps ramping up and giving smaller more channeled scares as supposed to, a lot of nothing like in 4. Jesse and Hector as protagonists, are very randomly fucked with like the family prior however they do have some genuine bro chemistry that's nice to see. I guess I like sarcasm with my Paranormal Activity. (I blame Shane Madej) It's also nice to see the posession of a character, that isn't just like Katie who gets real tired and zoned out, and it comes with some perks, the ghost (I don't believe it's Tobey this time) initially seeming like a positive only to lead to the film getting darker and darker allowed for really solid pacing. I guess my biggest irk is the ending. On an initial watch like, yeah it's neat and makes you go 'Wait what? Huh???' But I don't see the purpose of it. There were real stretches to get it to connect with the others and I don't think it needed to, it could have just been a story about another family getting ruined by the Coven. Watch it as a comedy and this one's kinda crazy.

6/10

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension

I believe the second you can see the ghost is, the second the original concept is firmly dead. It seems The Marked Ones really wanted to be different but this one really fell back in to, the security of the original formula but with none of the tension. It tried to have the creepy girl idea from 3, an extension of the Kinect idea without the marketing gimmick from 4, the slow posession of someone from Marked Ones and, literally The Exorcist, and of course brought back the original nightly forumal of 1. A film attempting to be the culmination of everythjing before can sometimes work, however it doesn't here. It's just got no substance and tries to be too much. I believe focusing on the idea of the tapes revealing the future and focusing on that would have been a good shot, but it felt like such a muddled mess I genuinely have very little to say on it. Every prior fiml, does everything this does, a little bit better. I cannot think of a single thing I really liked abou it...Maybe I suppose, the visual effects given it has the most out of all the films and I wanna give it something.

3/10

I am not done with this franchise just yet, there is of course one more film: Next of Kin and I will be watching that and because I'm a little silly, will also Watch Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night. I believe it's just a Japanese remake however I do enjoy me some Japanese Horror so, hopefully it will be a nice palette cleanser afer Next of Kin.
