The 3D was pretty good and having a camera to see the demon helped freshen up the series for me. The only real downside to it was it didn't have a proper conclusion. It left too many questions unanswered, so I couldn't quite give it a 7/10 for that reason.
I'd probably rank the series: PA3 > The Marked Ones > The Ghost Dimension > PA2 > PA1 > PA4
Not that horrible but it was decent I kinda liked seeing Toby this time but the characters are just stupid in some scenes, im glad these movies are over.
Lose the Game!!!!!!!
so I couldn't quite give it a 7/10 for that reason.
No.
shareGoing to see it tonight. If it's *beep* I'll at least enjoy my nachos.

I agree. The 4.5 is way out of line. If anyone didn't like the other four, they had no business watching this one either. These films are for the fans.
shareI kind of liked the previous ones, but for some reason this one didn't really rock my boat. I think it lost the original feel of the franchise by revealing what kind of entity we're dealing with. But still a lot better than The Gallows, which as far as the found footage genre goes, is perhaps the worst I've ever seen.

Disagree, I am a fan of 1, 2 and the marked ones as are my friends and we thought this was terrible. The story was meh. Parents reactions to some things were just silly. Letting us "see" toby didn't work in my eyes because the CGI was just.....ugh. 3D was trashy as well tbh.
Creep factor was basically 0, low end rumble signifying that a jump scare is about to happen, or the obvious fade out of said rumble then BAM.........poor. It could have done with having subtle things to creep you out. Like in the marked ones when they go to the church, they don't even notice the shadowy figure that steps in front of the glass watching them. No obvious rumble, no loud bangs or obvious hints, either you saw it or you didn't.
Other small things which tend to happen after multiple sequels. The fact that the family always loses to toby meant we didn't really care to much about the family since it was pretty much a given they'd lose. It would have been nice if toby had lost once or twice in previous films, with a "loss" simply being he wasn't able to take a child and has simply moved on to another family. At least that way there would be some suspense because you know he can be beaten, but will he be beaten this time?.
Eh, I've spent too long on this. The film was meh basically.
Agreed, and even the family was just not that interesting, why not add something interesting like an Atheist? That'd add some depth by having someone who literally doesn't believe in Demons would of made it more interesting and added more drama, because every movie has always had this mix of humour and fun with tension and drama like Julie and Dennis, Julie never believed in Toby, and she was visibly shaken after witnessing him, Daniel and Kristi, Daniel never believed in Toby or even Spirits but at the end he comes to terms with Toby and is literally the one who puts an end to it, Katie and Micah, Micah wanted Toby to appear and antagonized him throughout the whole movie and ends up costing their lives, Holly and Doug, Holly and Doug actually both don't believe Alex at first about Toby and Hunter but as it gets to the middle of the movie Doug becomes convinced whereas Holly doesn't believe it until Toby picks her off the ground and drops her body to the floor, but Ghost Dimension had no tension or drama which would of made it feel more real and 'down to earth' almost to us who've witnessed Toby tearing the families apart, it just didn't feel real. I also thought the actors were trying too hard it became just cliché and dramatic phrases every second, and the filming didn't look like something that actually happened like the past films, it looked more like a Hollywood flick combined with a monster movie whenever Toby showed up, UGH, his face looked so fake and unreal it ruined everything to the point of non-repairable, I also kinda resent them for not mentioning any of the past mythology like Coven making deal with a Demon or Hunter needing to sacrifice Alex for his ritual, no mention of The Marked Ones, and the time travel ending with NO logic at all made it look as if they were deliberately trying to shove the other movies under the rug, if Toby had gained a human form in Katie and Kristi's childhood house in 1992... He would NOT of been able to be THERE for Paranormal Activity 1 - 4, terrible.
And let's not forget Gregory Plotkin who teased the Ghost Dimension to the fans and lied about Katie Featherston reprising her role as the adult version, the classic Katie as we know her... I no longer have any respect for him and hope this ruined his career.
This was a 'Fu** you' to the entire fan-base, we were served a a sh** sandwich.
