I guess they would call it “building anticipation and/or suspense”, but as with Paranormal Activity 2, so long goes by without anything happening that I was utterly disconnected by the time everything starts to kick off. Too long goes into justifying the existence of the footage and not enough time goes into making me care about any of it. I think if I just turned off my power for ninety minutes at night I’d experience more scares than I did with this.
I guess this franchise just isn’t for me.
