Leave your thoughts about Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin.
| IndieWireJude DryThe result is a breezy but chilling romp through a haunted rural farmhouse, seen through extremely high-resolution handheld camera work. Like most studio horror movies these days, it looks a lot better than it should, and slaps a bit less. |
| Film ThreatRob RectorBy its conclusion, Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin accomplishes its task of delivering a suitable level of scares in time for the witching season. |
| We Got This CoveredScott CampbellParanormal Activity: Next of Kin doesn't reinvent the wheel, and it won't win over many new converts, but it's the best entry in the franchise for a long time. |
| TheWrapWilliam BibbianiThere are some potent shocks here, but the strongest aspect of the film is the unmistakable odor of squandered potential. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanOn some level, every “Paranormal Activity” film is about monsters caught on camera, but in this one the demons remain scariest when they’re sight unseen |

| The A.V. ClubAnya StanleyThough Eubank and Landon deserve some credit for mixing up the Paranormal Activity storytelling formula, it remains clear that there’s not many scares left to milk from this franchise. |
| Paste MagazineLex BriscusoThings like a film’s cast, script or direction can keep us interested and giving a damn—but all of those elements fell flat in this installment. |
