You can often tell that by the sixth movie in a series, maybe the well is running dry?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m being unfair, though, this was a legit entry to the series, for the following reasons: 1) they came back around to a creepy kid. This is always the way to go, so that was a great start out the gate, and this little girl oozes creepy. Hopefully because she&#8217;s a good actor, as otherwise I feel bad for her now. 2) for the first time ever, there&#8217;s a good reason to hold onto the camera even when things are completely insane. Because you can see what&#8217;s going on and use it to save yourself in a way that people in the prior movies could not[1].<\/p>\n<p>Okay, that&#8217;s not a <em>lot<\/em> of reasons, fine. But it represents a correct direction for the series and I&#8217;m not sad that I bothered with this like I might have otherwise been. Now, the problems with the movie: 1) the time travel stuff does not make a lick of sense. It didn&#8217;t <a title=\"My review of Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones\" href=\"https:\/\/www.delirium.org\/?p=7838\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">when they introduced it<\/a>, and it does even less now. As far as I can tell it&#8217;s there only so new characters can stumble into scenes from older movies. 2) watching movies with commercials sucks. &#8230;okay, that&#8217;s not a problem with the movie per se, but it is a problem with the distribution people not selling streaming rights to the right vendors. No, I will not pay a rental fee. Ugh, get off my lawn.<\/p>\n<p>[1] I mean, you can&#8217;t. It won&#8217;t help, at all. Obviously.
