the wife and i went to see the first two in the theater to diminishing results, so we figured we could wait this one out until video. wise choice. we both loved the first one and may or may not have slept with the light on for a couple nights after seeing it... the second was ok but not nearly as good. this one would probably go in that category as well. the 'found footage' element is still used this time around, the big change though is that these videos are from when the characters in the first two films were little girls growing up and is a series of recordings their father made when things started to get a bit weird during the night. i think this film suffers from being the third entry into the series- we've seen all the tricks before and can see the scares coming minutes ahead. some of the tense moments are pretty good, but the newness is gone and so is the intensity. also, the ending for this one is pretty weak. they pull in some lame elements at the end to explain it that the series has so far been pretty good at avoiding. oh well, the first one was still really good!
