This scene gives a clearer idea of how Katie got possessed in the first film. When she’s freed, it’s clear that she’s firmly in the demon’s grip. Despite multiple attempts to break free, Kristi gets dragged all the way downstairs and into the creepy basement. Only this time, there’s no one home to pull her back to safety. Like Katie in the first film, her sister Kristi (Sprague Grayden) gets dragged away by the demon. Kristi Dragged to Basement – Paranormal Activity 2 Just who or what is after Wyatt? And why? It’s eerie for how sharp and focused the image is and the questions it raises. Until that is, a fully-realized figure of a child walks behind Wyatt (Aiden Lovekamp) in the middle of the night. Creepy neighbor kid Robbie (Brady Allen) can often be seen interacting with shapes picked up on the Kinect in reviewed footage, but it’s never as effective as intended. The Xbox Kinect becomes a surprising tool for detecting paranormal activity in the franchise’s fourth entry, but it dates the film in a clunky way, and its intended scare moments don’t always land. It’s visual confirmation that this haunting is far more complex and dangerous. The picture’s existence and implications take the focus in this scene, but the very inhuman footprints in the baby powder prove far more unsettling. The footprints lead to the attic, where Katie finds a childhood picture long thought lost in a fire. They awake in the middle of the night by sounds and are horrified to find footprints in the powder. It’s the most overt sign of a supernatural presence at this point of the movie, making for a chilling escalation of sinister intention there is nothing friendly about whatever is haunting Katie and Micah.Īnother subtler but disconcerting moment comes when Micah sprinkles baby powder all over the floor upstairs, leading to their bedroom. Then the board spontaneously bursts into flames. While gone, the camera captures the planchette moving on its own. Katie (Katie Featherston) is furious, and the pair leave the house in an argument. Micah (Micah Sloat) ignores pleas and brings home an Ouija board anyway once paranormal activity around the home escalates. Each franchise entry built upon the mythology while adhering to a formula that included a potent blend of understated scares and explosive moments of terror.Īhead of Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin, let’s look back at ten of the franchise’s scariest scenes and moments. The popular found footage series began with 2007’s Paranormal Activity, which introduced subtle supernatural chills that slowly gave way to a full-blown, jump-scare heavy demonic assault. Next of Kin appears to give the series a fresh start after six films and a non-canon sidequel, all connected to the demon Toby and his coven of followers in some way. I give this a C+.This Friday brings the resurgence of the Paranormal Activity franchise with a new entry, Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin, arriving exclusively on Paramount+ on October 29, 2021. Overall, not un- watchable but another drop off from the previous one. They haven't reached Batman & Robin status with the franchise yet but they are on their way. If you can't improve on the last one don't make it. As for me this is a series that should probably stop. This is the 5th movie in the series and by now you are looking forward to the new one or not. This movie, however, much like every other sequel, is almost review proof. Seeing a chair start to rock without seeing something do it is scarier then seeing a ghost move around. This new idea makes things not as creepy to me. Each one tries to do something different than the others, and this one actually shows the activity rather then showing things happening without knowing why. This is a series that has been on the decline ever since the first one. He begins to notice strange things through the lens and when he looks at tapes of movies filmed with the camera he makes a horrifying discovery. Excited about the find he begins to walk around filming everything. "I've heard of spirit photography before, I've just never seen it in person." When looking through boxes at their house Ryan finds an old video camera.
