Chris and Sam break down "Paranormal Activity 3." They compare it to the original and discuss the use of jump scares versus tension in the movie. Finally, Chris and Sam look back on some of their favorite, and least favorite, movies this season.

Key Takeaways:

• Paranormal Activity 3 effectively creates tension and suspense through its use of found footage and practical sound effects.
• The movie relies more on jump scares compared to the original, but still maintains a sense of realism and believability.
• The resolution of the footage in Paranormal Activity 3 is too clear for the time period it is set in, which detracts from the found footage aesthetic.
• The scripted dialogue and acting in the movie may have limited the improvisational feel of the original, but the performances were still effective.
• Overall, Paranormal Activity 3 is a worthy sequel that builds upon the tension and scares of the original while introducing new elements to keep the audience engaged. Found footage films can be challenging to create a believable story while capturing all the necessary dialogue and scenes.
• The camera angles and placement in Paranormal Activity 3 raised questions about the characters' choices and the effectiveness of the scares.
• The ending of the movie and the overall story of the Paranormal Activity series left some viewers wanting more tension and fear.
