Paranormal Activity 3

I will never, never, never, never watch any of the Paranormal Activity movies again. I had nightmares for 2 weeks after I had watched the first one. I have an overactive imagination lol

And yes, gore is overrated

The trailer with the two girls in the bathroom doing the "Bloody Mary" bit sold me.

Thoughts? The guy who created this series did so as an independent filmmaker some years ago. Shot the original on a strict seven day schedule, utilizing prosumer equipment to boot. His couple thousand dollar gamble has obviously paid off.

These movies are fun in my opinion. I've never cared for gore. The suspense, the music, the fact that your more scared of what you CAN'T see versus what you CAN is a big selling point for these films.

And to be honest, who hasn't been home alone and hearing strange noises in the house. We're creative beasts--with wild imaginations--which makes movies like these all the more "believable" in terms of entertainment.

LOL!! Trust me I know, it can be weird when you move in to a new place. We just moved from an apartment complex to a house to ourselves with 5 acres of land.. and to this day, doors and stuff creak - LOUDLY. Not just regular type creaks.. its weird man.

I keep the windows shut because of the AC (its the south lol) so I know it isn't being caused by any drafts. It just happens at completely random moments when nothing is going on. Really weird.

& BloggingPro, yeah that is what changed my thoughts about it. I watched the first 2, and the first one was the best. I thought this was just gonna be another "Friday 13th" or "Saw" lol, you know, the movie that comes out with a new one each year.

But the previews, including the one with the girls doing the whole "bloody mary" thing was pretty genius. We all did that (or the older crowd at least) when we were growing up, so it plays in to that.

I think I'll probably go see it on opening night (this thursday I think) so I'll bump my thread up and let everyone know how it was/is.

There have been different and almost of variety of reviews regarding the previous Paranormal Activity movies. Some say that it is the worst horror movie that has ever been shown and that most of the scenes are boring and you will fall asleep waiting for the next horror scene. However, there are also some that have good feedback regarding this horror film and even suggest for people to watch Paranormal Activity 3 online. They say that we should watch Paranormal Activity 3 movie online because it is the paranormal activity on the next level. It is not just the ordinary, or some say the old paranormal activity series. It moves on a higher level and there are more scary scenes that what people expect it to have. The Paranormal Activity franchise continues with this third outing from Paramount Pictures. Oren Peli and Jason Blum return to produce the highly secretive feature, with Catfish’s directing duo of Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman taking on the helming duties. There are good comments regarding this movie and suggest people to watch paranormal activity 3 online.

The trailer looks quite good but it is paranormal activity so... It might be good for a larff/cheap scare on halloween night though!

I thought the first 2 films were boring and mindnumbing so I doubt I'll be seeing number 3, it felt like a waste of money and 2 hours of time to be honest.

LOL man, I woke up at like 5 AM to some loud noise out in the living room, the dog didn't seem to care tho so I didn't go investigate. But I kept on hearing it.. it was like someone tapping on the window or something.. Really weird stuff.

lol

I love watching those kinds of movies. I don't know why. But every time I watch paranormal or suspense or horror movies, intense excitement and thrill are rising in me!

I don't even experience nightmares after watching. I think I was born for those movies. Love 'em so much!

I'm a horror movie fanatic. Have been for as long as I can remember.
The last movie that scared me and actually gave me nightmares was
The Exorcist.
But, I will admit, I was "self medicated" at the time.

The house I grew up in was a small, 2 story house built in the 40s.
Every night about 15 minutes after everyone had gone to bed it would sound exactly like someone was climbing the stairs.
Well, here's the deal for all you folks living in older houses, hearing "things that go bump in the night".

Wood, as in floors, sub-flooring, and staircases, is pliable. It gives when you walk on it.
Then, when there no extra weight on it, ( like people walking around), it "settles" .
Just like anything that's pliable it has a natural tendency to return to its' normal shape.
Thus, the creaks and other noises made by other objects affected by the settling wood.

I haven't seen Paranormal Activity simply because, when I learned it was staged, I lost interest.
I thought The Blair Witch Project was borderline genius in its' simplicitly and miniscule budget. They didn't even have a script. The creators just gave the actors an outline of what they wanted to do and, while the actors were asleep in their tents, they would set the scene for next day. Like placing the stick symbols, etc.

I would compare "slasher" movies to horror movies the same as I compare Rap to music.
Not in the same ballpark.
When I first moved in with my (now) wife she had 15 and 10 year old daughters.
The thought they liked horror movies. Halloween, Friday The 13th, etc.
Then I turned them on to The Exorcist, The Shining, The Changling, Ghost Story, and a few other good horror movies and they saw the light.

Dude, check this out everyone.. lol - for the past 3 nights, we have been woken up at 5 AM every single morning by a weird sound.

Today, it sounded like glass bottles clinking together out in the living room. Right at 5 AM. So I got the tazer and went to check things out, since I dont exactly believe in ghosts but I DO believe in burglars, and there was nothing there.

You can all check my post history, you will see that I'm not kidding.. I was on here at like 5:50 (I dont usually wake up until like 11 AM) this morning because I couldn't go back to sleep. Once I'm up, I'm up.. I just cant go back to sleep for some reason.

Then yesterday morning, it sounded like someone moved a chair or something, and that also happened right at 5 AM.

And as you can see from my original post on the 17th, we woke up at 5 AM because of some noise...

The dog isn't worried about these sounds one bit, but its starting to get a little weird.. I dont know what the hell to think. LOL

If the dog doesn't care, don't worry about it.
Dogs, as do all animals, have a "6th" sense about paranormal stuff.
Just as they do about earthquakes and tornadoes.
Animals know when something's amiss.

Yeah I know, its just kinda weird to think about it. lol we have 5 acres, and this house was built a long long time ago. The landlord just remodeled it before we moved in.

And since this is the south, theres no telling what used to go on here.. this city was part of the civil war, slavery, all types of stuff. There is an actual cannon from the war cemented to the sidewalk downtown. Its supposedly a historic city.

LOL but anyway, yeah I know its nothing to worry about, its just getting kind of weird. I mean for 3 days in a row, exactly at 5 AM something wakes us up. The frame of the house and the wood that was used to build it doesn't know what time it is.. haha its just strange!

Hello,
the trick is in the camera work that gets you sick alone, I hate movies that have the jerky camera feeling.

^ lol

anyway back on topic here, we were supposed to go tonight for opening, but someone walked out at her job so she had to work all day. we are waiting to go tomorrow.

i'll let u guys know how it is

A movie with sequels you know it's doing well, and I agree, too much gore and blood in the Saw franchise

Indeed that movie is doing well. Even I am planning for paranormal activity 3 movie online. As this is a sequel movie , I like the first two parts of this movie too..

Paranormal Activity 3 fully boring movie and it's mine saddest movie ever. I will not watch this movie again.fully boring story..

One thing that I didn't like about it (other than this, it was actually a really good movie) - The scenes that you see in the previews aren't even in the movie..

no i dont think i will. not a big fan of the hole Paranormal movies. there are all the same.

this scene wasn't even in the movie along with many others..?

I heard it's an actual mystical phenomenon recorded in a camera. Is that true? Watching the second one already gives me the creeps.

About the 3rd...I think I'll just wait until they sell the DVDs or download link

Paranormal Activity 2 sucks, so I wouldn't recommend you to watch it. It is very boring.

sucked!!! 000000000

planning to this movie tonight

I really want to see it. It is a low budget film, but I think it uses unique camera angles to make it work and scary for the audience(for some of them at least) And they don't even use lots of CGI!

I saw this movie last week. Good movie.

I wanted to see it, but no one else wanted to. Ever go to the movies alone?
