Watch the Similar-But-Terrifying First Trailer for Paranormal Activity 3
How did Catfish directors Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost decide to follow-up their controversial true-life ("true-life") documentary? By making a "found footage" horror movie, of course! (The moral: stick with what you know.) The pair return to theaters this November with Paranormal Activity 3, a prequel to the stories told in the first two films, but one that looks no less terrifying. (The moral: stick with what you know.) Click through to be jump-scared out of your office chair.
Putting kids in peril is a cheap way to get scares -- cheap, but certainly effective. (Even if one of those adorable girls grows up to be a murdering demon-possessed psycho.) Paranormal Activity 3 will make a boatload of cash when it hits theaters on Nov. 21.

ENOUGH WITH THESE STUPID MOVIES! THE FIRST 2 SUCKED!
November 21st? Shouldn't they release it a month earlier if they want that boatload of cash?
I saw the original in the theater with my best friend Susan. She had to keep her eyes closed the whole time because the fake wobbling of the camera was making her nauseous. I watched the whole thing and was extremely irritated that I paid to see it. I was extremely irritated that I voluntarily saw it at all. This doesn't look scary, it just looks dumb. I liked the idea behind the first movie, but the "found" footage tried way too hard to look like found footage versus film a real person would shoot. And it felt like a short story that was unnecessarily stretched into a movie 3 times longer than it deserved.
I hope it makes a boatload of money. I just have no interest in being on that boat.
