Horror Movie Month - Paranormal Activity 3 + more

Paranormal Activity 3
The plot: Well, the second one took place before the first one and now the third one takes place before the second one. It's the late 80s and Katie and Kristy are just little girls. Seems Kristy has an imaginary friend named Tobey, who just might be the spirit that has been following these girls around for most of their lives.
The scares: Maybe it's because I don't believe in ghosts, but I never found these movies particularly scary. That being said, there is an overpowering feeling of tension that is in pretty much every frame of this film. And that, at least, is a big step forward.
The body count: Only two.
The grade: C-

Red State
The stars: Michael Angarano, Kyle Gallner, Michael Parks, Melissa Leo, my dad John Goodman
The plot: Three high schoolers go to a trailer park to meet an older woman for some hot sex. Turns out, the woman (who advertised on the internet, of course) is a member of the cult like Five Points church and they have lured these young sinners to make an example of them in front of their parish. Lots of blood ensues.
The scares: It's not scary in the sense that you're thinking. However, the idea that there are close minded bigots out there who could quite possibly do something out there is terrifying.
The body count: I honestly lost count. The death toll is high and unexpected at every turn.
Grade: B+. I'm understanding this movie received a lot of backlash. I think you either love it or hate it. This is the first Kevin Smith movie that I've ever loved.

The Last Exorcism
The plot: A priest sets out to expose exorcisms for the fraud that they are. He picks a letter at random (he receives hundreds) and gets a camera crew to follow him to prove the fraud. However, when he meets the young girl who is supposedly possessed, he has second thoughts.
The scares: Again, no so much scary, but that's not to say I didn't like it more than I thought I would.
The body count: Four, maybe.
The grade: C+
