Paranormal Activity 3 Ratings & Reviews
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The shtick movie "Paranormal Activity 3" is the horror equivalent of vaudeville comedy: a little patter, a little pie in the face, repeat.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Paranormal Activity 3'' has no interest in art. It just wants to give you the willies with a minimum of gore and a maximum of camcorder dread, and it succeeds.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Joost and Schulman sustain a consistent sense of dread, playing with our own fears of things that go bump in the night.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
Far and away the sharpest, most wildly aware film in the series.
New York Times
Andy Webster
It ... brings fake-out jolts and humor into play.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
This third Paranormal is a prequel that occasionally goes off the rails but also offers more laughs and somewhat more character development than the previous installments.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
There are only so many times bodies can be dragged out of frame and tables levitated before the biggest scare of all is the threat of tedium.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
The Paranormal Activity movies are built on fundamental horror concepts, and those fundamentals still hold.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
The activity is pretty normal in Paranormal Activity 3, at least relative to its predecessors.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It's another low-budget, high-concept excursions into shock horror filmmaking that once again uses the audience's imagination against them to produce a wild flurry of shrieks and scares.
Shockya.com
Perri Nemiroff
You know what's coming, but every time the lights dim and the night number title card appears, you anxiously await the demons next taunt, a number of which are unforgettable.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
This third outing in the faux documentary/found footage, supernatural shocker series finally gets things right.
Vox
Dylan Scott
Fresh feeling and a gloriously gonzo finale.
Village Voice
Mark Holcomb
There's something to be said for giving people what they want, but in genre movieland, that strategy droops into lazy cynicism quicker than you can say Saw 3D.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
Two movies later, even die-hard supporters are going to find all this stuff dully familiar.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
It's not so much a movie as it is a cinematic cardio exam, with directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, the guys who made "Catfish," pounding away again and again to see how much your heart can take.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
The filmmakers throw in a few cheesy scares: mom in a monster mask, a baby sitter jumping in front of a camera. But the rest is pretty freaking cool.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Inexplicably, there are people who still haven't had enough of these movies. The first was a nifty novelty. Now the appeal has worn threadbare.
Movieline
Alison Willmore
Good for a few old-school jumps and giggles, Paranormal Activity 3 evaporates once it's over like morning mist.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
The bottom line, for me, is this: I don't scare easily at horror films (that's one of the reasons I tend to pan them), but I watched Paranormal Activity 3 in a state of high anxiety.
