One step forward and two steps back! “The Ghost Dimension” seeks to breathe new life into a tired brand, but its fresh take ultimately hurts the franchise more than it helps. The concept of “a special camera that can see spirits” may have seemed intriguing at first, but in practice, it runs counter to the entire premise of the “Paranormal Activity” franchise . After all, it’s far more unsettling to speculate about what a demon may look like than actually seeing one. Moreover, the horror element is diminished if the audience knows the demons’ next move; the film becomes little more than a collection of cheap scares tossed in for effect. The story is poorly written; the characters are among the franchise’s most inept yet, and they’ll make you scratch your head despite the performers’ best efforts. “The Ghost Dimension” presented some new lore, but ultimately failed to achieve anything substantial. In any case, as it is, it’s a disappointing sixth entry in a franchise that has been pushed through the Hollywood meat grinder to cash in on the first film’s success.

Rating: **5/10** *(Meh, Nothing Remarkable)*

There are certain film franchises that just cannot take a hint and go away. The idea of milking the stale novelty of the on-going queasy saga of repetitive horrifying hedonism is something that both the movie-makers and movie-goers are guilty of perpetrating that ultimately feeds into the chronic sequelitis of misbegotten movies refusing to surrender the spotlight. This is definitely indicative of the Paranormal Activity movie series that stretched its one-time legitimate creepy credibility into a tired and tacky frightfest that overstayed its welcome. Hence, the arrival of the latest extension in the veteran found footage phenom machine entitled Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension. Basically, audiences needed another Paranormal Activity installment much like a creaky skeleton needs its share of body fat. Thus, this so-called “final entry” makes its macabre mark in the mediocrity of mayhem.

After four previous Paranormal Activity fear-inducing flicks (with Paranormal Activity 4 being released three years ago this month in October), the fifth entry for Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension looks to grind out what is left to pick apart in this grainy and grating creeper. Unfortunately, The Ghost Dimension drags and drowns in its desperate and dull attempt to parlay the familiar foundation of sketchy scares and manufactured jitters as it tries to jump start the stark memories from the other predecessors. The problem is that the Paranormal Activity editions have not sustained itself adequately after the original blueprint. So there is nothing to really build in terms of varying degrees of suspense and shock when the last couple of sequels were thanklessly watered down.

One would not mind so much if Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension was a viable swan song that wrapped up its continued bump-in-the-night theme with something unique and invigorating as it looks to wave goodbye to its former reputation as a distinctive chiller thriller. Sadly, The Ghost Dimension feels clunky and goes through the motions while not missing a beat in presenting the same old hair-raising high jinks. This is business as usual and even the most ardent defender of the Paranormal Activity film experience deserves more than this stillborn haunted house boofest.

It is a shame that the original brilliance of Paranormal Activity has been lost in the shuffle following a series of continued creepy-minded chronicles that single-handily ruined such an innovative premise. The blueprint for PA started out promising as it delved into the haunting shenanigans of its found footage gimmick that appeared so refreshingly raw and arresting. Plus, the unseen terror and imagined goosebump goings-on solidified this scare tactic piece of cinema as the “reel deal” of shock cinema at the time. It looked as if the PA influence would revolutionize (or at least lend some innovative spark) the horror genre to a different degree of expectation.

The premise in The Ghost Dimension finds a family man Ryan Fleege (Chris J. Murray) and his loved ones in wife Emily and young daughter Leila (Brit Shaw and Ivy George) moving into a new house as they get situated in their exciting place. Soon, Ryan and his brother Mike (Dan Gill) come across something most unusual–a leftover box containing a camera and VHS tapes (NOTE: it is worth mentioning that the tapes detail the harried happenings that occurred in Paranormal Activity 3). Strangely, Ryan and Mike come to the realization that this most peculiar piece of equipment has a bizarre power in that it can record what they are doing and broadcast it to other sources for whom they are viewing thus creating a link to past and present goings-on. Furthermore, this weird camera has captured the roaming and ominous spirit in the household. The threatening revelation, of course, is that the spooky presence of this ghostly figurehead is drawn to little Leila. Naturally, the concern is an open and shut case: the family must obviously protect the child from the pesky apparition as they are determined to get to the bottom of the mysterious camera that has caused this sudden sense of domesticated dire.

Other than serving as a mere bridge to connect the previous PA outings to pad the proceedings in this current edition, The Ghost Dimension has really nothing to offer in terms of developing its own path of peril. This “retread of dread” feels needlessly wasted and we never are invested totally in what appears to be another routine rousing romp fortified with basic stares and scares, predictable knee jerk reactions, silly-minded atmospheric special effects and the typical “child gloom-doom possession” tactic that has been overused countless times before. Sure, Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension promises to answer some of the lingering questions that were presented in this movie’s so-called folklore and does indeed touch upon some key factors that PA fans were curious about previously. Still, the film’s pay-off in the later part of the story feels concocted and unsatisfying. Indeed, The Ghost Dimension feels like some elaborate patch job as opposed to a solid scream-dream thriller hoping to tie all the pieces together in a film fright series that has inexplicably lasted over the last several years. Simply, the ensuing PA chronicles has been overwrought with meager menacing indifference.

Director Gregory Plotkin (whose credits include editing some of the PA flicks) helms this narrative with a run-of-the-mill flair that does not help an already pedestrian exposition short on its share of daring chills. Surprisingly, The Ghost Dimension has an impressive handful of screenwriters with decent track records of scripting serviceable psychological gems yet their collaboration seems ineffective and incomplete. Perhaps an appropriate case of too many cooks crowded in the kitchen of creativity? The one saving grace, thank goodness, is John Rutland’s delicious cinematography that is vividly shot with imaginative urgency. As for the 3-D special effects that are scattered throughout The Ghost Dimension, they somewhat resonate but it is nothing that one would label compellingly expressive from a visual standpoint.

If the Paranormal Activity legacy has a Ghost of a chance to preserve its movie-making memories, it should take its final curtain call with Dimension and allow any found footage of these churned out sequels to speak for itself in the haunted house genre it contributed to so convincingly in its heralded heyday.

Absolutely no understanding of what made the original great
When you look back on old horror series like ‘Friday the 13th’ or ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ and you see ‘Part 8: Jason Takes Manhatten’ or ‘Part 5: The Dream Child’ you can’t help but shudder at just how ridiculous the sound of that sequel is. Sadly I fear when people look back on the ‘Paranormal Activity’ series ‘The Ghost Dimension’ is going to sound equally ridiculous and appear the same for anyone who bothers to watch it. The film isn’t good and does a real disservice to an otherwise great series. A huge disappointment.

The filmmakers on this one seemed to have absolutely no understanding of what made the first four (or five including ‘The Marked Ones’) so effective. It was the fact that even for those of us that don’t for the faintest second believe in ghosts or demons, it’s still scary because everything was so simple. A person standing over their partner at night simply staring at them for hours on end is much more frightening of an image than actually seeing a completely unrealistic monster-like creature jump out of nowhere. This film did not belong in the series and if it is indeed the last ‘Paranormal Activity’ film to be made, it was a sad way to end things.

Okay you can stop now, it’s getting boring
Why they have to milk a story until the last drop I will never get. Do we really need six movies about the same story? Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension is the living proof that we don’t. I sincerely hope that they will leave it like that now and start another project. Because even though the first one was new and entertaining this one is just the opposite. It’s old with zero entertainment. I was bored during the whole movie and not once scared or even mildly scared. And is that not the whole purpose of a horror movie? I even fell asleep the last five minutes and I couldn’t be bothered rewinding to watch them over. That’s how boring it was. Also very dark and blurry filmed. I was already not a big fan of the handy cam perspective and after this one it’s only getting worse. A waste of time.
