![[Interview] Paranormal Activity 3 Creator/Producer Oren Peli!](/photosizer/upload/pa3interview101911.jpg "[Interview] Paranormal Activity 3 Creator/Producer Oren Peli!")
Having been one of the catalysts behind the film’s success, Bloody Disgusting and Paranormal Activity director Oren Peli go way back. We’ve chatted it up on many occasions, which is why I know that he’s one of the most difficult interviews on the planet. It doesn’t help that the demonic franchise is shrouded in secrecy.
With Paranormal Activity 3 arriving in theaters tonight at midnight, I believe I did a pretty solid job this time around in getting Peli to reveal some insight into the latest scarefest and how the decisions were made. Get the dirt inside and return on opening weekend to write your reviews to tell Paramount and the filmmakers what YOU thought. READ MORE

[Review] Mr. Disgusting’s Thoughts on ‘Paranormal Activity 3′
![[Review] Mr. Disgustings Thoughts on Paranormal Activity 3](/photosizer/upload/2paranormalactivityhires101011.jpg "[Review] Mr. Disgustings Thoughts on Paranormal Activity 3")
Looking back, I kind of don’t like Paranormal Activity 2 anymore. It was a fun movie when it came out that sort of mimicked all of the events of Oren Peli’s first film. After seeing Paranormal Activity 3, opening in theaters this Thursday at midnight, it’s sort of changed my perspective, specifically because the third installment does so much more to expand the mythology and scares.
“Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman inject the mythology with life, jam-packing it with heart-exploding scares…’PA3′ is what the sequel should have been – a mythological launch pad loaded with scares, tension, and more importantly, payoffs…Not since ‘The Ring’ remake, or the first ‘PA’, has a film been so brooding and unnerving.”

Fresh Clips from ‘Retreat’ and ‘Paranormal Activity 3′
MTV has premiered two new clips from a pair of upcoming genre films starting with a fifth teaser for Paranormal Activity 3 — this one’s not for the kiddies. Directed by Catfish duo Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, the sequel arriving in theaters October 21 takes place in 1988 where young sisters Katie and Kristi befriend an invisible entity who resides in their home.
The second piece of footage comes from Samuel Goldwyn Films’ Retreat (review), which stars Cillian Murphy (Sunshine, 28 Days Later), Thandie Newton (Vanishing on 7th Street, 2012) and Jamie Bell (Death Watch, King Kong). Carl Tibbetts makes his feature directorial debut on the film, which “finds Murphy and Newton heading to a remote island cottage to rebuild their frail marriage. When a wounded and armed stranger (Bell) shows up at their door with news about a deadly airborne virus, they must seal themselves inside the cottage, where the tension starts to escalate from psychological to physical.” It also arrives in theaters October 21.

[Review] FF ’11: Second Thoughts on ‘Paranormal Activity 3′
After a mind-blowing secret screening this past Sunday (a title the entire theatre had to swear not to mention on Twitter, FB, or out loud), everyone at Fantastic Fest was theorizing out the wazoo as to what the second one would be. Paramount was rumored to be the studio, which opened the flood gates and had attendees guessing Hugo, MI:4, Tintin or Paranormal Activity 3, with the latter proving to be correct.
Earlier, we posted Corey Mitchell’s positive review and now we have a second by BD stringer Brad McHargue, who also dug the film. Read past the break for his thoughts on the third entry in the franchise, which he said “[keeps] the series fresh and engaging.”

[Review] FF ’11: First Thoughts on ‘Paranormal Activity 3′!
Bloody Disgusting’s Corey Mitchell, who has been blogging live from Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, is a well known hater of the Paranormal Activity franchise. To me that makes him the perfect person to review the third film in the franchise, Paranormal Activity 3, which opens in theaters October 21 from Paramount Pictures.
If Mr. Mitchell could be swayed into liking the third film, there has to be something good about it, right? Directed by Catfish team Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, below you’ll find the first ever review here on Bloody that he says is “breezy, smart, tense, and is sure to raise the hairs on the nape of your neck.” I’m just excited to know the third film isn’t just a repeat of scares like in PA2.

Can you believe October 21 is already almost here? Paramount Pictures has fully unloaded the hype this afternoon with a new long ass trailer for Paranormal Activity 3 that features a pretty awesome 1988 Poltergeist reference.
