In the first of our look at our favourite sequels, we're taking on Paranormal Activity 3. Considered by fans to be the strongest of the series, PA3 is often lumped in with the 'fad' of found footage horror. But giving the series a strong mythology and offering up likeable characters and actual story development, I consider it to be solid, scary horror. And if you have seen Hereditary you might recognise many elements of PA3 - only the found footage trope means the film works harder to deliver its story and is less reliant on exposition dumps. We talk through the reality of found footage horror in today's smartphone-obsessed cinemas and wonder - would it work now? And should it really have been written off as a fad?
