The couple of fakes scares in Paranormal Activity 3 suggest its willingness to take itself less seriously than the last two films. But when you're making a horror movie about a powerful demon, I'm not sure that that's the best direction to go in. This film feels less cohesive than the last two. Its strengths are how it riffs on some horror movie conventions, giving us a very fun scene with a spooked babysitter and adding a coven of witches to the mix. The film certainly has atmosphere, but I didn't experience the sense of dread the first film instilled in me. The finale is particularly silly.
