(2015) ***
Family moves into a home, strange things start happening, captured
on home video, yada yada yada. This is
the sixth Paranormal Activity movie, and they’ve all had the same plot, so I’ll
skip that part.
Looking at previous reviews of the PA series, all our
reviews range from 2 ½ to 3 ½ starts.
And that’s where I find this one falling as well. It’s no better or worse than any of the other
entries. The marketing for this movie
really tried to differentiate it from the others, it that now we can “see” the
activity. And yeah, that was true, and
kind of cool, but it also leads to basically a huge plot hole in the
movie. The parents of the young girl in
this movie videotape their daughter sleeping, see a ghost standing over her,
see the ghost assault the mother, see the ghost gaining a more concrete shape,
and their only response is to call a priest and continue videotaping said
ghost. Really???? There’s never any reason given for why these
parents don’t leave the house except for a throwaway line from the priest like,
“the spirit may follow your daughter no matter what”. Sure. Wouldn't seeing this picture make you have your kid sleep in bed with you...
In terms of answering questions for fans of the series who
paid attention to the first five movies, there is a continuity in the series,
and this movie kind of answers questions.
It turns out that a demon has been trying to possess a child. In this 6th movie they add, oh, it
turns out the demon needs two kids.
Oh. Okay.
