I mean it's not bad, it creates a good found footage atmosphere a few elements are just a bit too cheesy and some of the shots detract from the ambiance. Maybe 15 min less chopping some of the cheesiest parts and a few of the camera cuts would have made this a really decent movie. As it stands it's kinda long. It's still entertaining enough and just creepy enough to make a good watch for the Halloween weekend.

Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin (2021) is a movie I recently watched on Paramount+. The storyline follows an orphaned young lady who traces her roots back to a Mormon society in the country. They take her in with open arms and show her their ways and tell her the story of her mother. As she stays with them she starts seeing weird phenomenon by the woods and around a rundown church. If she digs too much into her family history she may find more than she wants to know.

This movie is directed by William Eubank (Underwater) and stars Emily Bader (Charmed),Roland Buck III (Better Call Saul),Dan Lippert (Son of Zorn) and Henry Ayres-Brown (The Black List).

The storyline for this is a bit cliche but well told and interesting enough to keep your attention till the final scene. The cinematography is very good and the settings are beautifully depicted. The movie drags at times, but the last 20 minutes are excellent. I will say everything about the pit frustrated me; as in, I kept thinking "you'd never do that," but it wasn't enough to detract me from wanting to know what's going to happen.

Overall this movie is okay and worth watching. I wouldnt call it the best Parabormal Activity movie but it's worth a viewing. Essentially, the last few scenes are worth sitting through the movie. I'd score this a 5.5-6/10 and recommend seeing it once.

I didn't really yawn during this movie, for that there was a decent amount of mystery that kept me interested, but I can't say I was super thrilled about the story. Do we really needed another Paranormal Activity movie? It's getting a bit too much of the same stuff. The acting wasn't bad, but for a horror movie there were just not enough horror scenes, at least not to me. I'm also not a big fan of the first person camera shots. I've never been a fan of this technique and in this movie there is just too much of it. Hopefully this was the last Paranormal Activity, time for something else.
