![]() ![]() This feels like a random found footage film that needed a selling point, and so chucked 'Paranormal Activity' in front of its title. This wasn't the storyline to do it with though. I so desperately wanted to like this movie, with the hope that it would reignite a series that I love. This film completely forgets that at the end. What we don't see is always scarier than what we do. This film goes so hard and in your face that it can't possible be scary. I feel like I'm mentioning it a lot in films lately, but it needs to be remembered that less is more. They were very likeable and people I could get onside with. The other thing I liked were the main three characters. It was actually building up quite nicely for a while there until it decided to go well off the rails at the end. They were able to recreate the feel of the series in the first half of the film. A film set on an Amish farm isn't scary in any way, because who of us is ever going to go to one? A couple of things I did like. ![]() And the thought of your partner spending hours through the night standing over you and staring was simply terrifying. The original series was so good because it was set in an ordinary looking house like yours or mine. It could be any old found footage film - and not a very good one at that. It has no connection to the previous films and it has nothing that demands it be a 'Paranormal Activity' movie. The only problem is that it is a part of the series in name only. Now, years later, we have another entry in the 'Paranormal Activity' series. They were remarkably consistent right up until the very unfortunate 'Ghost Dimension' which killed the series. 'Paranormal Activity' films used to be the staple of every Halloween. ![]() I'd score this a 5.5-6/10 and recommend seeing it once. Essentially, the last few scenes are worth sitting through the movie. I wouldnt call it the best Parabormal Activity movie but it's worth a viewing. Overall this movie is okay and worth watching. I will say everything about the pit frustrated me as in, I kept thinking "you'd never do that," but it wasn't enough to detract me from wanting to know what's going to happen. The movie drags at times, but the last 20 minutes are excellent. The cinematography is very good and the settings are beautifully depicted. The storyline for this is a bit cliche but well told and interesting enough to keep your attention till the final scene. This movie is directed by William Eubank (Underwater) and stars Emily Bader (Charmed), Roland Buck III (Better Call Saul), Dan Lippert (Son of Zorn) and Henry Ayres-Brown (The Black List). If she digs too much into her family history she may find more than she wants to know. As she stays with them she starts seeing weird phenomenon by the woods and around a rundown church. They take her in with open arms and show her their ways and tell her the story of her mother. The storyline follows an orphaned young lady who traces her roots back to a Mormon society in the country. Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin (2021) is a movie I recently watched on Paramount+. ![]()
