Nevertheless, Micah begins to record the happenings and Katie eventually hires a psychic to assess the situation. The psychic who states his expertise is not in demons, but in ghosts reveals that the demon feeds off of negative energy; emotional friction between Katie and Micah is only strengthening it.

When Katie is eventually physically assaulted by the demon, she and Micah decide they will flee to a hotel. Before they can leave, however, Micah discovers Katie gripping a cross the one used to free Kristi so tightly that her hand is bleeding.

He burns the cross and the photo of Katie in anger, and an eerily tranquil Katie then informs him that all is well. Micah believes her, reluctantly.

Hill as Patty Hill. User reviews Review. Top review. Delivering The Scares. To be honest, I never liked Paranormal Activity movies. It's about people who lived in a house with cameras and there are evil spirits haunting them then all of the events are caught on tape. The idea is interesting but the execution always end up being unsatisfying. Paranormal Activity 3 is the very beginning of the series. It's not actually a prequel. It's more of a backward trilogy to make the ending of the rest of the Paranormal Activity films mysterious.

Although, the twist is a little bit predictable but Paranormal Activity 3 has a decent story to tell with these found footage. And it really has the scares. Finally, this series has a genuine scare. Paranormal Activity 3 reveals all the mysteries of the first two movies. Unlike the first two, instead of watching the lives of these people and wait for the spirits to come out, this one really tells a story through the videos.

The story is not anything new though but the execution is decent. Suddenly a noise that wakes Dennis up. He gets up and starts looking around, the camera is with him. Everathing seems normal.

After looking out the kitchen window, he turns away. But when he hears the noise of the blinds, he's startled and turns back. He ckecks the blinds. Everything seems normal. To do so, they have to reposition one of the video cameras.

What are you doing? Kristi, that's mine. Kristi, come on. Kristi, come help me. I think it's on. So, how you play is you say 'Bloody Mary' three times into the mirror and then her dead body's supposed to appear in the mirror and try to kill you.

Stop Katie. So, now what do we do? Bloody Mary. I'm scared, Katie. You scared me. We're just playing a game. Grandma just got here. In the girls' bedroom Julie tells her mother she doesn't want more kids. The grandmother replies with "but you always wanted a boy. It is even possible that grandma Lois herself was once married to the demon, but since she had not produced a male child, Julie became the next "bride".

Since Julie doesn't plan to have a boy anymore, the demon and the grandmother set their sights on the next generation Kristi. In Paranormal Activity and Paranormal Activity 2, Kristi and Katie indeed seem to have no memory of the ritual and the death of Dennis.

It can be surmised that Kirstie was secretly married to "Toby", and both girls brainwashed to forget about this although the girls both remember childhood memories of being haunted. When Kristi got a husband and a son years later, the demon came back to claim his bride Kristie and collect the boy Paranormal Activity 2.

However, Kristie's husband managed to exorcise the demon from Kristie, and transfer it to Katie Paranormal Activity. Eventually, the demon got its way when a possessed Katie killed Kristie and her husband, and walked away with their son.

Shortly after arriving at their grandmother's, Kristi gets prepared for a wedding ceremony, saying she will marry Toby. We can only assume this is what she agreed to do for him. It can also be implied that she agrees to giving him the soul of her first born son. She might not remember doing this as she was very likely brainwashed, but that probably continued on in the curse as shown in Paranormal Activity 2. Julie does not say why she reacts the way she does in the film and we can only theorize on her motives.

The first easy explanation could be that Julie is obtuse. Another explanation however could be that Julie had similar experiences in her own childhood and refuses to let it happen again, following the idea that if you ignore it completely, it will eventually go away. Her reluctance to believe might also be due to her being brainwashed as a child. After serving them apple pie, Grandma Lois and Katie play dressup with Kristi, outfitting her to look like a bride.

When Julie asks who is the lucky guy, Kristi replies, "Toby. She puts the girls to bed, then she and Dennis go to bed, too. During the night, they are awakened by the sounds of cars, thuds, and scraping. Julie gets up to check on her mother. When minutes pass and Julie still hasn't returned, Dennis goes looking for her, taking the camera with him.
