Three Beats Two

The best thing I can say about Paranormal Activity 3, is that it's better than Paranormal Activity 2. Although, let's be honest the bar was really low.


As a stand alone film, I really enjoyed the first Paranormal Activity. It reminded me a lot of The Blair Witch Project, it was low budget, and anyone who shares a bed with someone will get just how creepy the idea of someone standing over you for four hours while you sleep really is.


Much like Saw however (again, a film I really liked), the sequels really detract from the original. In PA3, the younger versions of the female protagonists from PA1 and PA2 are experiencing more supernatural occurrences. Why they don't remember this or reference it in the first two films however is anyone's guess.


Apparently, PA3 did huge business in the States, so expect a PA4 next Halloween. 

Bad Horror Movies

So on Saturday, I ended up watching some bad horror movies with some friends. The highlight being "Night of the Demons", starring Shannon Elizabeth and Edward Furlong.


Needless to say it was badly acted, poorly scripted and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Edward Furlong has not aged well since T2 though.


But hey, it's not Hallowe'en without a bad horror movie, right?
