Leave your thoughts about Paranormal Activity 3.
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyIf you haven't seen the first two movies, why are you watching this? And if you have seen the first two movies, why do you need to watch this? |
| Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenParanormal Activity 3, the latest installment in the low-budget horror franchise, is far and away the sharpest, most wildly aware film in the series. |
| E! OnlinePeter Paras3 has the most likeable cast by far, some honest laughs and plenty of those patented Paranormal scares. |
