Paranormal Activity have their first Latino spin-off, although it may as well just be called instalment 4.5, because everything ties directly into the main series and there's some nice furthering of mythology. Actually some pretty big stuff. It's also nice to take a break from the security camera footage style and have more of a roving camera scenarios that isn't house bound.
And yet, it still has the same unsatisfying feeling at the end. Full disclosure, I have to admit being more than mildly distracted by an overly full bladder in the final 10 minutes (despite the brief running time, too much frozen coke) and the pace certainly picks up but part from some dangerous flirtations with what I expect to be time travel, and unexplained stuff that I hope will come back in future films, and some nice fan service, the very end is still lacking that big payoff.
If these films have an endgame, we're not getting any closer, it feels more like the turning of the gears as more money comes in. Time will tell. Still, much more fun than the last ones.
