The story

Using a special camera that can see spirits, a family must protect their daughter from an evil entity with a sinister plan.

What it’s like

Grainy handheld footage, security-camera feeds and a clunky 3D-era gadget give this sixth Paranormal Activity entry a flat, low-budget texture: fluorescent-lit suburban kitchens, dim bedrooms lit by the glow of a camcorder screen, and nighttime yards rendered in washed-out green night vision. The sound design leans on sudden thumps, creaks and a rising low hum rather than a score, so silence between jolts feels tense. The vibe is brisk, pulpy and jumpy, the kind of watch that suits a Halloween night with the lights off or a group rewatch where everyone shrieks together. Pacing is quick, with scares arriving in escalating bursts and a steady push toward the climax, and the emotional core is a family closing ranks around a child under threat. Intensity is moderate: frequent jump scares, creepy supernatural menace and some violence and peril, but little gore and no sexual content. It is for horror fans who want a fast, familiar found-footage chill with a sense of playful genre fun rather than dread that lingers.
