Dog-amoto Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 http://www.paranormalmovie.com/ This time, it's for money. Why oh why??
Beast Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I believe you just answered your own question. Oh God! I fear that this is going to be like the Final Destination series: Not sequels, just remakes of the first one.
Coolness Bears Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 ...but the first one was bad. XD In the second one does the baby get possessed?
Beast Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Yeah, FINAL DESTINATION is awesome up until after the third one, the rest sucked ass and I know this will suck ass considering it's going to be a rip of the first one but poor, lmao. :p
Daft Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 The Final Destination was terrible (although it did have an awesome bit with an escalator shredding people), almost certainly because it was a rampant cash in 3D film. The first three were ace, though (in a totally enjoyable slapstick hyper violent type way). I haven't seen 5 yet, I really want to. Maybe this weekend. PA is fantastically boring. I'd rather watch an elevator's CCTV.
Wesley Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 I don't see how it's a money grab (more than other sequels and prequels anyway). Paranormal Activity 2 actually nicely fitted in. And then this expands to what happened in their childhood that was constantly eluded to.

I'd rather watch an elevator's CCTV. I have and it's just like The Final Destination. Rubbish but with two good deaths. The last two aren't the same as the first three which is a shame but the fifth one wasn't fun at all for me, it just bored my tits.
Daft Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Euuurgh, really? Well two good deaths will do me. I'll rent it, though.
Beast Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Yeah, it's just pathetic really and the fact the ads say "The Best Final Destination Yet" is absolutely laughable. I wouldn't even rent it, I wished I waited for it to be aired on TV. Yeah, it's just pathetic really and the fact the ads say "The Best Final Destination Yet" is absolutely laughable.

Daft Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 When I say rent I mean commandeer it off teh interwebz.
Dog-amoto Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 Just realised, the link I posted about was just the teaser trailer This is the theatrical one http://www.paranormalmovie.com/?video=theatrical
Beast Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 They used the Bloody Mary thing...really? Ugh!
Daft Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 They used the Bloody Mary thing...really? Ugh! Too mainstream?
Beast Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 What next, they tell stories of their nightmares to find a burned man is trying to kill them? Or maybe that there's a ten-foot hockey player with a machete waiting outside their house? Or heck, since it's about ghosts, there's a man waiting in the closet wearing a Ghostface mask... When this was first released, it was kind of scary because there was that whole thing about whether it was real or not and then it was said that it wasn't, they've decided to do sequels and it's just took what scariness it had out of it completely. There's no need for a third one! ARRRGH! [/rant]
Daft Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 To be fair (and this might be a last time I am fair to this franchise), it's a very old school kids thing to do and this is set in like the 80s. Actually, I suspect a lot kids do it still. I did. ...and it creeped the fuck out of me.
Wesley Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 When this was first released, it was kind of scary because there was that whole thing about whether it was real or not and then it was said that it wasn't... I'm sorry wut? Who the hell ever thought this could be real?
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 I'm sorry wut? Who the hell ever thought this could be real? The same people who thought The Blair Witch Project was real? Point is, they aimed for an authentic feel, and quite successfully at that. I guess that feel is somewhat lost for some people with sequels.
Nikos9 Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 It's still pretty damn scary either way! I'll be going to see PA3...nothing like a load of people freaking out in the cinema all around you screaming :p

Actually, I suspect a lot kids do it still. I did. ...and it creeped the fuck out of me. I did it once and even when my friend tried to make me jump, I wasn't scared. However, it was a pretty funny prank to pull when I got his girlfriend to dress up in a white dress with ketchup on it...ah memories... I'm sorry wut? Who the hell ever thought this could be real? The same people who thought The Blair Witch Project was real? Point is, they aimed for an authentic feel, and quite successfully at that. I guess that feel is somewhat lost for some people with sequels. What Dannyboy said. Insidious and Buried creeped me the fuck out because of the authentic feel it had and this kind of did and didn't but as soon as a sequel come out, it lost that feel to me.
Wesley Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Oh okay. I thought you actually meant it was real footage. As in the events happened in reality. Yeah, the feel definitely wasn't the same in the sequel. But for me that was mainly because it was simply a sequel, I'd gotten used to idea a little.
Wesley Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 THIS FILM WAS AWESOME! Just got back from the cinema. Better than the first two.
Beast Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 I've seen the other trailer for it and I actually take back what I said. I think it actually has potential to be pretty cool. Some of the stuff in the other trailer actually looks pretty cool so I'm a bit intrigued. Might catch this in the weekend.
