Film Review: ‘Paranormal Activity 3’ Earns Every Fright in Precise Chiller
Submitted by PatrickMcD on October 21, 2011 - 9:17pmCHICAGO – Horror films that delicately balance the psychological nature of fear with the actual chills are as rare as Lady Gaga without attention. “Paranormal Activity 3” is one of those scary “delights,” essentially walking the tightrope between screaming “boo” in a crowded theater and tensely sending electricity down the spine.
Blu-Ray Review: Disappointing Return of ‘Paranormal Activity 2’
Submitted by BrianTT on February 18, 2011 - 12:28pmCHICAGO – There’s something that horror movie producers never seem capable of understanding. A great horror movie is like watching a magic trick. It doesn’t work nearly as well the second time. The sequels to “Saw,” “The Blair Witch Project,” and now “Paranormal Activity,” are not that dissimilar from watching the same rabbit come out of the same hat with nothing much different than a new colored bandana around its neck. “Paranormal Activity 2” has moments but doesn’t amount to nearly the same overall experience as the first.
