This movie just isn't very good. There's a few seconds of ingenuity with the 3D effects of the Ghost Dimension but then everything just goes bland and stays that way.

I guess technically the "mythology" is solved, mostly, but maybe it would have been better if it hadn't been. This franchise is clearly dead, I'm not sure what the point of this even was. It would have been better served leaving us "wanting" and just dropping off the face of the Earth.… Expand

After two years of its release date being pushed back further and further, Paranormal Activity fans can finally see the alleged ending to one of the longest running ghost franchises of this generation. If this will truly end the series isAfter two years of its release date being pushed back further and further, Paranormal Activity fans can finally see the alleged ending to one of the longest running ghost franchises of this generation. If this will truly end the series is definitely up for debate, but I think it did answer the big questions pretty well. The sixth Paranormal Activity takes place a few years after Paranormal Activity 4 and, like the previous two sequels, involves a new cast of characters, the Fleeges: Ryan, his wife Emily, their daughter Leila, Ryan's brother Mike, and their friend Skylar. You can guess what happens next: rich white family moves into a house, weird stuff happens, then demons. But every PA movie has their own gimmick, and that's where the "spirit camera" comes in (or whatever it's called). This camera can actually see ghosts and demons, so we can actually see Toby. It's an interesting idea, and it's generally used pretty well throughout the film. It's probably one of the better gimmicks in the series, although I don't think anything could rival the rotating fan cam from part 3. Because we can actually see the activity through this camera, The Ghost Dimension is probably the flashiest and definitely the most effects-driven Paranormal Activity flick. The special effects look pretty good for a low budget movie like this, even though there are a couple of cheesy CGI shots towards the end. Unfortunately, the scares are obviously the result of being the sixth movie in a franchise, as most of them miss rather than hit. The static shots are still rather effective, but those can only go so far in terms of scare factor. Something else that somewhat disappointed me was how short this movie felt. I didn't think this movie was rushed at all; it just felt incredibly short. Maybe because it was more fast paced than the other movies, or maybe because this Paranormal Activity only took place over 8 nights instead of the nearly 20 the other films chronicled. That didn't make the movie bad so much that it just bothered me. The Ghost Dimension ended the series on a reasonably satisfying note, but it's time for the activity the come to an end.… Expand

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

This is another film from the Paranormal Activity franchise, but I confess I didn't find anything big. The story of the film is very imaginative and creates a forced connection between an apparently normal family and the family of Katie and Kristi, the two main characters in the initial films, and the thread of the whole story. And I say forced because the connection created never seems credible or natural.

It all starts with the discovery of a strange video camera and a collection of tapes. The family quickly realizes that it is a different camera, that it sees things that cannot be seen with the naked eye, and that they can be entities from the other world. At the same time, his daughter's behavior is changing and everything seems to undergo a sudden escalation, in which the supernatural becomes too obvious to be invisible.

The cast does what they can to do well, and the result of all that effort is collectively positive. I would especially highlight the good work of Ivy George, despite her young age, and Brit Shaw. The scares are predictable, barely endemic in all the films of the franchise, but there are far fewer moments than what happened. It is the first film to make a serious bet on CGI, and it bears good fruit but it also steals, a little, the natural and genuine appearance of the film. The post production work has, in my view, some assembly flaws, with scenes that don't connect very well with each other and seem out of place.

In short, it is a decent film that does not disappoint most fans, but it does not seem to me to contribute to attracting new audiences.… Expand

There are definitely some scary set pieces but overall the writers here (4 of them, for a freaking PA movie? come on) take the mythology all over the place, losing that fun sense of dread the other five capture. Hopefully the sequel Next of Kin will make me feel better.… Expand

They at least made thus movie to connect with the previous ones. A new family moves into the house where the girls lived 20 years ago.

I was actually impressed. Paranormal activity is probably my least favorite franchise ever. Why did I keep watching? Because they're usually so bad that they help me fall asleep. I'm being serious about this.

However, this one and 4 managedI was actually impressed. Paranormal activity is probably my least favorite franchise ever. Why did I keep watching? Because they're usually so bad that they help me fall asleep. I'm being serious about this.

However, this one and 4 managed to keep me up for the whole run time. The plot is somewhat interesting and I enjoy seeing the main characters figure out what's going on. It also helps that there are tangible things happening for once. This in contrast to the first three where nothing happens the entire run time outside of the ending. I've waited so long for this and FINALLY I got to see something and get some sort of closure on the plot that seemed completely scrambled until this point.

So why did I give it a 5 if I supposedly liked it? Because it's only good in relation to the other movies. In reality, it's still a really bad movie to where a giving a 5 is being generous. The acting is...well...a paranormal activity movie. Outside of the concepts introduced, it's still extremely predictable. The main characters also sick as usual and really hard to root for. The parents are terrible at their job as my mother/aunt/father would have whipped the skin off me if I behaved like Leila. Also they're cowards. I get they are afraid of ghost, but 10 junpscares in, you have to get over yourself and need to get down to business.

Also the script itself is its usual Paranormal Activity stupid. As every scene past the 30 minute mark becomes fustrating as the characters make so many stupid choices. It makes you want to scream at the TV. This is especially a problem in this movie because the characters (at least the camera guy) are pretty smart when it comes to plot things. So their smartness in digesting plotpoints clashes with their awful decision making.

The effects were fine. Overall, should you watch it? Yes if you want to watch a paranormal activity movie and actually see things happen other than cabinet number 7 open by itself. No if you want to watch an actual good movie. As for me. I'm just thankful I could stay up and watch the movie for once.… Expand
