The Ghost Dimension isn’t exactly frightening — the setup is so well-worn now that it’s hard to be particularly startled by what transpires — but it’s able to wring sufficient dread out of this franchise’s go-to fears. Read full review

To the bitter end, the series manages to wring some fun, solid scares out of something other invading something utterly familiar. Read full review

At its most basic level, the Paranormal Activity formula still has some kick, with its combination of creepy lo-fi video and tasteful suburbia creating some strong, unsettling dissonance. Read full review

There may well be new and novel ways to spark audience shivers from not-so-bright homeowners inexplicably using their cameraphones to check out bumps in the night, but this series clearly has neither the patience nor the inclination to look for them anymore. Read full review

Even at this late stage in the evolution of the franchise, logical lapses in filmmaking technique undercut the integrity of the found-footage format.... What may be less acceptable, however, is the film’s unaccountably weak effort to sort out the mythology concerning the series of demonic hauntings. Read full review

The most shocking thing about Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, is that four hacks fought to have their names listed in the credits under “screenplay.” Read full review

The sixth time is not the charm with this load of hooey that tries to make up for its lack of legitimate scares or basic narrative clarity by adding the alleged miracle of 3-D into the mix. Read full review

Excelente final para a grande saga de terror, obviamente merecia mais produção por ser o último da franquia mas está agradável porém não superou o 3

If this is the last in the series, then the franchise has succeeded in going out with a bang - a bunch of them, actually, and at least a couple should have you involuntarily twitching in your seat.

The film is decent at best and ends just as open ended as the previous films. This film attempts to relate itself to the third installment (my favorite) and does a mediocre job at doing so. The film needed tie the majority of its loose ends and leave the invested viewers with a sense of contentment, but it doesn't. The effects in this film vary from pretty good to absolutely brutal and the 3D is not utilized properly. 3D in my mind at least is there to put the viewers in the film not to sling **** at them, and this film flings more **** at you than a pissed of monkey on miralax. With that being said, the repetitive jump scares continue to be 90% of generates fear and a lot of them are just people walking into frame. Now what did Paranormal do right this time around? Well, that acting is not brutal, and for the most part feels pretty natural and real. When i heard that we would actually see Tobey in this film i was skeptimistic, due to the fact that what you can't see is always scarier that what you can. Although for the most part (when the VFX weren't crap) they made him a very intimidating character, and did a good job of revealing his form and size. At the end of the day you know that the film isn't going to be perfect, and if you keep your expectations low then you will enjoy this film.… Expand

Let me assure you that you really don’t need to see this final installment, as even a desire for some kind of firm conclusion to the series' overarching story won't be satiated.

There’s a part of me that feels the need to applaud the Paranormal Activity series. There are a number of terrible horror franchises out there, but few have been as financially successful while managing to trot out the exact same set up and execution year after year. But while credit is due, that doesn’t mean that entertainment has been had – and keeping in tradition with its predecessors, the sixth and final installment, Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, does nothing to break away from formula and is yet another boring, creativity-lacking sequel.

Even bothering to explain the plot of the film feels repetitive, because surely anyone who has ever seen one of these movies knows exactly how it’s going to work. A couple of young parents (Chris J. Murray, Brit Shaw) find that their young daughter (Ivy George) is acting all kinds of weird and talking to an invisible friend named Toby. As a means of uselessly combating what’s perceived to be evil forces, cameras are set up around the house to document any paranormal activity… and night after night of spooky stuff passes, all eventually leading up to a violent conclusion.

There is one gimmick that makes Paranormal Activity: Ghost Dimension stand out compared to its predecessors, but it would be tremendously hard to argue that it’s actually a beneficial extra. Towards the beginning of the film, the husband/father, Ryan, discovers an old custom camera that seems to have the ability to view spirits and energy from the spiritual dimension. More than just taking away the suspense that comes from the movie’s antagonist being invisible, thus heightening the scare factor, the big addition that it unfortunately supplies is big black globs of bad CGI that float around in any scene meant to feature Toby’s presence. Of course, this also leads to more than a handful of moments where said big black globs of bad CGI fly at the screen in jump-scare fashion, but it’s less pulse-pounding and more exhausting and tired.

Weirdly, 3D has an interesting role to play in the movie, as only scenes featuring the titular “Ghost Dimension” mess with the audience’s perspective, but stylistically the film is a total snore. One of the best ideas that this franchise ever came up with was strapping a camera to an oscillating fan in Paranormal Activity 3, but director Gregory Plotkin offers none of that ingenuity. All of the scenes at night – where the big ghostly action happens – are shot from three different angles (one looking at the hall and two positioned in the little girl’s bedroom), and there is no effort made on any front to actually make the found footage style more visually interesting.

If you’ve stuck with the Paranormal Activity franchise to this point, loving each chapter leading up to this, there is a very good chance that you’ll enjoy Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension. Long, boring still shots, easy jump scares, and repetitive morning after freak-out sessions seem to be right up your alley, and if you find it entertaining, then I say more power to you. If you’re like me and got sick of these movies five years ago, however, let me assure you that you really don’t need to see this final installment, as even a desire for some kind of firm conclusion to the series' overarching story won't be satiated.… Expand

A laughably un-scary, joyless mess. The 3D is useless, the story is predictable, and the dialogue is horrendous. We can only hope that this is the final "Paranormal Activity" film in this lazy, obnoxious series.

Worst of all this sorry excuse for a horror movie just went full Blair Witch Project. Not recommended.… Expand

Good riddance this franchise is over with. I used to be a big fan of Paranormal Activity, but since #4 in 2012 I was less impressed and started to get my money back.

I used to be a big fan of Paranormal Activity, but since #4 in 2012 I was less impressed and started to get my money back. I was trying to see The Ghost Dimension in my Edwards Theater and it wasn't even in the schedule. I don't know maybe it's the dimwits at Paramount started to choose this movie in theaters and added on salted wounds, video-on-demand (VOD). Why VOD? This didn't even came out yet on DVD/Blu-Ray until the next 5 or 6 weeks until their run is over at the theater. I don't wanna say anything new to this alleged "final" movie in the series that was once scared the hell out of me until the moment of truth arrived. Same characters, weak story, and a tired blend of paranormal ghosts led to this film being unwatchable. It's just that I was initially throwned down by the gauntlet and all I get was: another "Paranormal Activity" movie. I've had enough and decided to watch the "Saw" movies instead. Ghost Dimensions is a total wreck, indeed. I wished they should reboot the series at some point.… Expand
