The third installment of Paranormal Activity is out and it´s not a sequel but a prequel. Usually second parts, or third parts, tend to lack the brilliance and even some of the energy the first part had (if we are talking of a successful film that is), however that doesn´t seem to be the case here since the film has been receiving positive reports so perhaps watching this story might not be a waste of time even if PA3 has only half of the punch PA1 had. The key in understanding why PA3 and also PA2 do not disappoint is that neither is truly a sequel. PA2 says how and why Katie and Micah (the couple in PA1) get tormented by a strange entity with mostly events happening before PA1 and only some of them happening after that. PA3 tells you how Katie and Kristie, both sisters originally met the entity that would come back to haunt them in adulthood. It turns out that they have been in contact with this pseudo demon ever since they were little girls and according to clues given in PA2 the problem originates with some ancestor of theirs making a deal with the demon for power and wealth in exchange of a firstborn male baby. In PA2 we get to meet Kristie's family who happen to include a her first baby, a boy.So there is a material to make the real origin and then another to reveal what happens after the events of PA2 when we see a possessed Katie killing her sister and her brother-in-law to then kidnap her nephew and take him to unknown whereabouts. Perhaps it would be difficult to repeat the video resource, but you never know.
