WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

After a woman dies in her apartment underneath a party in Oxnard, California, a partygoer named Jesse (Jacobs) armed with a video camera goes to investigate.

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Despite moving from its familiar Halloween release slot, the Paranormal Activity series continues on with a new spin-off that brings new fears, new allies and new demons to face as well as more found-footage consisting of mostly shaky images and obnoxious cinematography.
