Paranormal Activity 3

 

[Captain Tired]

I like it but I've honestly always preferred the second by a rather large margin.

I like it but I've honestly always preferred the second by a rather large margin.

It's exactly the other way around for me.

I know the sequel is beloved and it opens up the world and does something new with the material, which I applaud, but I never found it nearly as interesting as the first one, which is a true gem and has a better storyline. Pitch black psycho-sexual horror about flesh and soul.

I also feel that the Cenobites are more intriguing as background players, and I prefer the mystique which surrounds them in the original.

Part 2 is more of a footnote for me. It's okay, but not really necessary and not as interesting.

I also like the storyline to the first but I feel it's a bit overly simplistic in comparison. I think that the second one is leagues more creative and builds on the lore introduced in the original while also still managing to do something so incredibly different, as all good sequels should. But it's apples and oranges. I won't begrudge anyone for preferring the first. I just happen to go to the other shop.

I love the idea of this psychologist who's secretly obsessed with the occult, using his patients as lab rats in order to solve the lament configuration while still totally avoiding any negative consequences. It's an ingenious plan, and really it's only his mislaid trust in Julia that lets him down. Perhaps the effects don't hold up as well as they do in the first, but you have to give them credit for the sheer scope of imagination on display in Hellbound.

Have you seen the Hellraiser documentary ''Leviathan''? It goes quite in-depth about the first two and a little about the third.

I haven't, but now that I've heard of it, I'll be sure to track it down! Thanks. I only really like the first two, Bloodline and maybe Hellworld (for the cheesiness of it all).
