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.

The Ghost Dimension is largely devoid of any genuine scares it is all loud noises accompanied for by **** cgi imagery, the characters are also some of the dumbest ever conceived.

All I ask is that you don't waste a single penny on this movie. You'll find yourself bored in this film that delivers hardly any scares, and overall makes you laugh more than scream.

" In September 2009, A screening was held in Hollywood, California" - "This audience was among the first to experience the movie "Activity Paranormal" - "This is what they saw...(scares, tremors , sufferings , cries , paralysis , total shocks" In September 2009, A screening was held in Hollywood, California" - "This audience was among the first to experience the movie "Activity Paranormal" - "This is what they saw...(scares, tremors , sufferings , cries , paralysis , total shocks and traumas for all life)" - "Experience it for yourself " were the mottoes that they terrified to the entire world, with the shocking "Paranormal Activity. This movie was an ultra- cheap spook show that managed to attract huge audiences that were lured in by its low-fi aesthetic, and the central gimmick of being presented as a collection of home videos made by an ordinary couple hoping to capture evidence of a supernatural entity. They had two chances, present in each film different and innovative ways to link the stories or just give us the same it , generating small changes and scaring ridiculously.

Obviously , they chose the second path increasingly discrediting their sagas.The formula that have so far included a straightforward (sort-of) sequel, a retro-themed prequel set in the '80s, a version centering on hip teenagers with their smartphones and their complicated pants and a spin-off aimed at Hispanic audiences. Now "Activity Paranormal The Ghost Dimension" the sixth time this changes nothing , the same cheap scares and supposedly the 3D would be the boom of this movie (That was not the case ).

"Activity Paranormal" is a decaying saga that began sadly with a truly terrifying film. Nowadays, "Ghost Dimension" introduces us to Fleeges—dad Ryan ( Chris J. Murray ), mom Emily ( Brit Shaw ), their adorable moppet Leila ( Ivy George ) which like the other tapes gradually strange events happening around Ivy , cameras, night shots , possessions , called, the priest , Toby, witches , Kate and Kristi , etc.

Why a ghost that appears in the middle-night in form of ectoplasmic entrails? That will never scare, It's awful. Supposedly for be the completion of the saga the paranormal center was the worst choice

The surprise factor was 3D format, really it was like seeing the movie 2D format, small ectoplasm in front of you and cheap jump-scares for and spontaneous appearances of the ghost is the movie's 3D. Format 3D, typical introduction to end a saga (Friday 13).

It really is the worst movie of the saga, frankly for be the alleged termination of the hit (low budget- big profits) it was not the best way.The most interesting part of this release was the revelation of the secrets to finally solve the riddle that existed between Kate and Toby.The strange thing is that Kate began this story
Where is she in this film? Is it fair? Why Toby? It is totally incoherent.

"Activity Paranormal The Ghost Dimension: The sole function of this film is to solve most of the questions and complete the saga."

"Ghost Dimension: Ultra-predictable, boring, simple. And at last Toby did its job. You accept it, Paranormal Activity (The first) will never be the same. It is unique."… Expand

Muy mala película. Llena de sustos baratos y predecibles, acompañados de un feo efecto 3d que, para ser sincero, solamente pudo empeorar la experiencia

Maybe they'll permanently terminate this franchise or keep on using it to make a whole load of money. It's up to the distributor to come up with discussions.

This is supposedly the last film in the "Paranormal Activity" series. I sure hope it is. This brainless sixth instalment is filled with lazy jump scares and stupid sudden loud noises.

The terror of the unseen and unknown intrigued and frightened me from the very start. And even as the sequels began to diminish in quality, I held my head up high and stuck with them and kept coming back for more every year, because there was always something good or at least a decent scare or two to be found in each one (at least for me.) But with this sixth and final installment that I've been waiting for for the longest time now,... I'm simply at a loss for words as to how to describe this film or sum it up. But I'll put it like this: This is EVERYTHING a Paranormal Activity film shouldn't have been!!! Not scary! Rushed! Absolutely no payoff! Lots of scenes from the trailers missing! No appearance of adult Katie, who was in every past film and was crucial to this franchise! Pitiful 3D and effects! Questions the filmmakers promised would be answered but weren't! However, I would've been willing to be more generous and forgive all of that if it weren't for one thing and one thing only: The ending! The ending not only did absolutely nothing to wrap up the franchise or tie up any loose ends, but also felt like the biggest middle finger I've gotten from a film in a looong time! So overall, as a film-goer I feel disappointed, but as a huge and loyal fan of these films, I feel insulted and like I've been slapped in the face!… Expand

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

The overwhelming flaws date back years ago from the last three or four movies. Its narrative is a poorly told jumbled mess, and with this other dimensional gibberish, it's not getting better. The new activity it tries to sell is nothing more than superficial effect heavily borrowed from recent Poltergeist movie. For all the weak elements, the worst issue is it's simply not scary.

Another movie another family. As expected the focus is with the child, we've seen this plot so many times in this year alone. The daughter is speaking with some sort of entity while the family spends half the movie arguing about how impossible it is, despite finding literally stash of evidences of strange occurrences.

It has a few nifty twists with more usages to the tapes, but even this gets old fast. The rest of videos are rehearsed falling objects, out of focus camera shots and conveniently placed glitches. There's barely any sense of investment even as the movie tries so hard to set the child as sympathy bait.

It all comes down to typical lines, "Who are you talking to, dear?" for almost the entire movie. Not to mention, just as the plot looks like it's moving the conversations are edited out to push another tired living room shots as whatever entity residing there fools around with the family.

Also, for some reason, it uses nauseating filter and bad contrast as supposed supernatural effect. It's not a good idea to fiddle with perspective, especially for a found footage movie. Without spoiling anything, the entity apparition is nothing to be excited about. The apparition is as bad, if not worse, than the tedious wait.

This is one of rare instances where I was drowsy when watching a movie, a feat that even its predecessors or other found footage films failed to do. There's no thrill in this or whatever dimension the movie spawns from.… 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 theLet 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
