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.

Featured review
Senseless but Scary
In 1988, in California, the cinematographer Dennis (Chris Smith) moves to the house of his girlfriend Julie (Lauren Bittner) to raise a family with her daughters Katie ( Chloe Csengery) and Kristi (Jessica Brown). The little Kristi has an imaginary friend named Toby while weird things happen in the house. Dennis decides to place cameras in the round to capture images during the night and soon he finds that there is an entity in the house. Dennis's friend Randy Rosen (Dustin Ingram) researches the events and learns that his house might be a coven of witches and the children may be in danger.
"Paranormal Activity 3" is a horror movie with a senseless story. I am not fan of this franchise and the camera "à la Blair Witch Project" is irritating. However the special effects are really scary and startle the viewer along the film. The story never explains who Toby is and the conclusion is a sort of rip-off of "Rosemary's Baby" does not make any sense and spoils the movie. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "Atividade Paranormal 3" ("Paranormal Actiivity 3")
