'Paranormal Activity 3' - Could've Had More Activity

I just watched 'Paranormal Activity 3' with my husband. He fell asleep midway through it and I kept waking him up like ten times. Once we got beyond the middle of the movie, the action picked up some. I rarely ever give negative feedback, but I guess I expected way more screeches (from me) and scenes that would make me jump off the couch. The scare factor level was low and the frequency of really spooky stuff happening wasn't very often. I remember watching the first two PA and clinging to the ceiling and afraid to walk down my dark hallway!

Still I'm glad I watched it, as it did explain about the early years for the young sisters -- they were adults in PA1 and PA2. Paramount announced there will be a fourth film in the franchise, to be released on October 19, 2012. Not sure at what point in the timeline the story will take place...Does anyone out there know? Too many sequels (or prequels) that keep pumping out in some movie franchises can just end up being a bad thing.

I tend to blog about supernatural/paranormal movies and TV shows at my other blog: http://enterparanormal.blogspot.com but felt like sharing my thoughts about this particular movie and its info here, at my Author's site, instead.
