PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3 Looks more like a Prequel than a Sequel
Modern horror has seen a new direction in the past year with the demise of the Saw series. Blood and gore has taken a backseat to more creepy and subtle scares. This is evident in not only the second Paranormal sequel released last year, but Black Swan, The Last Exorcism, Splice, and this year’s Insidious. With the popularity of these creepy features, it seems only fitting that the producers of Paranormal Activity continue in the vein of scary instead of shocking. Say what you will about the second entry and the fact that the scares were more of the same, what I did appreciate about the sequel is its intent to expand the story first started in the original surprise hit of 2009. Now with the third film, Paranormal Activity 3, the writers have decided to explore the back-story of the two sisters from the first two films. Travel back to 1988 in this first trailer for Paranormal Activity 3.
Paranormal Activity 3 haunts theater beginning Oct. 21, 2011. The directors of the indie film Catfish is behind this sequel/prequel.
