Peter Travers Rolling Stone

I fully expect Paranormal Activity 3 to be box office gold. But it's barely worth two stars, let alone two cents. As for future followups, I offer this plea: STOP! show more

Claudia Puig USA Today

Paranormal Activity 3 delivers similarly eerie moments, though long stretches go by where nothing truly ominous occurs. show more

Joe Neumaier New York Daily News

A few really weird things happen during Paranormal Activity 3, though unfortunately, they have nothing to do with being frightened. show more

Well for the most part this was not a movie i\'d rate even close to high. The first one had me creeped out until it got stupid. I laughed hysterically through the second one and we all mocked the lines and characters. TERRIBLE acting. This one was the best of the 3. Had some thrill factor to it. I wouldn\'t recommend it unless you were a fan of the others. Then it\'s worth it to see. I just feel cheated with the endings of these types of movies. It\'s as if they ran out of ideas and asked their cartoon watching (not at all into scary movies) neighbor to *********. The acting was decent. Good set and lighting if you\'re into that. I know this doesnt give much of a premise of the story but I hope it helps with your decision to watch or not.

Saw it in the theatre and was a little disappointed. The story was a little predictable and there wasn\'t enough freaky things happening.

HORRIBLE! I loved the first and second movies so I was super excited when I heard a third was coming out. It was so terrible that I\'m pissed at myself for sitting through it. Nothing scary happened. You just sit there waiting and waiting for something scary to happen and it never does. Worst movie I\'ve ever gone to see in a theater.
