Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMost of the scenes in the trailers are not in the actual movie which angered many fans of the series. According to Inside Pulse, the production team behind this had enough leftover footage to assemble two completely different versions of the same movie; fifty-percent of the footage was what they used to create the TV spots and theatrical trailer.
- Goofs(at around 1h 4 mins) While driving the Mercedes to the house of grandma, the gauges on the dashboard clearly show that the speed is zero and the engine is cold.
- Quotes
Randy Rosen: [arguing about the demon] This isn't... Casper the fucking friendly ghost you're chasing man!
- Crazy creditsIn the middle of the closing credits, in keeping with the 1988 period of the film, the Paramount logo that was used circa 1988 is shown.
- Alternate versionsIncludes an unrated director's cut and "lost tapes" (Dennis' pranking Julie and a commercial of his video company.)
- ConnectionsEdited into Paranormal Activity: The Chronology (2012)
- SoundtracksHappy Birthday to You
Written by Mildred J. Hill (as Mildred Hill) & Patty S. Hill (as Patty Hill)
Featured review
As I said in the title, if you enjoyed the first two films, this is well worth seeing. Yes it does re-hash some concepts from the previous two, yes there are some laughs, you may be left with some un-answered questions, and yes, a lot of the scenes from the trailer aren't in the actual film.
But you know what, if you want to see a masterpiece in inventive horror, watch a DVD of The Exorcist. If you want to watch something that will scare the crap out you psychologically, watch The Ring or The Shining. This film is exactly what it says on the tin, the third installment of a pretty decent series of films.
So some of the frights have been used before, they still made my heart skip a beat when they were on a big screen. And the scenes from the trailer weren't in the film itself, so what, the scenes that made up the film itself were done well. I'm guessing if you're still reading you're a fan of the first two films, if that is the case, ignore the iffy reviews and go see.
If you want to be anal about trailer scenes, plot holes and "what is the answer" questions, wait for the DVD.
