Wesley Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Yeah if you liked either of the first two then you'll definitely like this. My flatmate and I thought this was a whole lot better than the first two. While two of my other friends preferred the second. But they're wrong.
ReZourceman Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 THIS FILM WAS AWESOME! Just got back from the cinema. Better than the first two. I've lost all my respect for you.

The second sucked huge elephant balls!
Slaggis Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) I loved this. I was terrified by the entirety of the last half an hour and also the bloody Mary scene. It's not left me as scared as the previous two however, though I'm putting that down to it simply being because of the previous two. I have got one bone to pick though. The camera that moved was awful. The noise it made, how slow it moved and just the general idea of it. Edited October 24, 2011 by Slaggis
Wesley Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 I thought it was cool. Those types of people who do crazy/cool/inventive stuff for their passion exist. That's what I loved most about this, the two adults in this felt pretty real to me. Can't say that much for the others in that respect.
Beast Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Saw this yesterday. It sucked. Simple as. It was pretty much boring. Nothing happened until the last 20 minutes. I mean, I love a good build-up but fuck me, not one that lasts THAT long. It was nowhere near scary either, the audience (and me) were pretty much laughing at it on how daft it all was (especially the hair-pulling scene) and don't even get me started on the misleading trailers that are shown on the telly! Hardly any of the scenes shown in the trailer are even in the bloody movie, including one that I thought would be very important for a prequel considering it's a major thing to the story. I must admit though, it's definitely better than the second one but the first still holds the crown. Also, that camera fan stand thing is a cool idea but the noise from it irritated me a little. All in all, I wished I lived in ignorance and just imagined my own reason as to why Toby haunted Katie...instead, we get a pretty crappy explanation that pretty much had everybody facepalming at how crappy it was. Still, there were a couple of good jumps and the acting was alright but other than that, a complete borefest and a waste of my money and time. Should have waited for the unrated version (which I think is what we saw in the trailer). They should be sued for misleading people, lmao.
MadDog Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 First was shit, so didn't bother seeing the second. This one was shit until the last part, which was really good I thought. When the woman (really can't remember her name) is at the top of the stairs, that bit freaked me out. Then when he opened that door and there was those people, was freaky. Overall it was crap, but the end was good.

Jimbob Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 None of these movies appeal to me, i have seen the 1st movie out of curiosity. It's crap, so never bothered seeing the rest.
MadDog Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Is it the genre that doesn't appeal to you? Because there is much better films of this genre.
Wesley Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Such aaaaaaaaaaaaaas? I'm interested in seeing more of this type. Rec was awesome. But then again we have very different views of this one... so...
Coolness Bears Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Regardless of whether it was good or bad, it still entertained me. (which is good) but the frogurt is also cursed. That's bad. So yeah, although it isn't a good film I didn't get bored so it must be doing something right. I've not seen the second one but just like the first one it was funny as hell. The entire end part of the film is hilarious. The whole thing is ridiculous but even more so than the first one. There were some effects that I did like but others that just looked silly. The rotating camera was a fun idea but under utilized. They kept coming up with new ways but in the end it boiled down to "jumpy bits." It's hard to do a horror as you get used to the techniques they are using and it needs to work on a more psychological level so you start doubting yourself. SUBTLY IS THE KEY.
Dog-amoto Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 What I didn't get was Why did he film himself watching the footage? Surely it's just a waste of videotape. I could kind of get it in the original and second as they would have been recorded to hard drive
Beast Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 I don't really get why they videotape EVERYTHING (more of a general thing since the first movie)...it's just creepy. They videotape them moving, videotape random things and stuff...it's weird.
Dog-amoto Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 I was also disappointed there was only a tiny bit of Katie. I've said it once and I'll say it again, she has incredible knorks. PA2 had her in a bikini so for me, that alone makes it the best of the three.
Mokong Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 I only just watched the first PA which I rented, I enjoyed it, lots of tension and a pretty freaky. The bluray had an "Alternate" option, we flipped a coin to see which version to watch and alternate won. The only difference was the ending we found out (quick wiki search) so we skipped to the last scene of the theatrical version to see the different ending. Original was better. I also rented Insidious which I watched before PA, Insidious probably freaked me out more though.
