    Edit
    • Trivia
      (at around 5 mins) Towards the beginning of the film, Julie takes a picture of young Katie standing in the driveway shortly before a group picture is taken. The photo being taken appears in both Paranormal Activity (2007) and Paranormal Activity 2 (2010) as an indication that the demon has started haunting them.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 4 mins) While driving the Mercedes to the house of grandma, the gauges on the dashboard clearly show that the speed is zero and the engine is cold.
    • Quotes

      Randy Rosen: [arguing about the demon] This isn't... Casper the fucking friendly ghost you're chasing man!

    • Crazy credits
      In the middle of the closing credits, in keeping with the 1988 period of the film, the Paramount logo that was used circa 1988 is shown.
    • Alternate versions
      Includes an unrated director's cut and "lost tapes" (Dennis' pranking Julie and a commercial of his video company.)
    • Connections
      Featured in Shameless: A Great Cause (2012)
    • Soundtracks

      Written by Mildred J. Hill (as Mildred Hill) & Patty S. Hill (as Patty Hill)

    If you enjoyed the first two, you will enjoy this
    As I said in the title, if you enjoyed the first two films, this is well worth seeing. Yes it does re-hash some concepts from the previous two, yes there are some laughs, you may be left with some un-answered questions, and yes, a lot of the scenes from the trailer aren't in the actual film.

    But you know what, if you want to see a masterpiece in inventive horror, watch a DVD of The Exorcist. If you want to watch something that will scare the crap out you psychologically, watch The Ring or The Shining. This film is exactly what it says on the tin, the third installment of a pretty decent series of films.

    So some of the frights have been used before, they still made my heart skip a beat when they were on a big screen. And the scenes from the trailer weren't in the film itself, so what, the scenes that made up the film itself were done well. I'm guessing if you're still reading you're a fan of the first two films, if that is the case, ignore the iffy reviews and go see.

    If you want to be anal about trailer scenes, plot holes and "what is the answer" questions, wait for the DVD.
