![]() Katie kills Kristi and her husband before taking Hunter. We open in 2006 with a possessed Katie (Katie Featherston) abducting her sister Kristi’s (Sprague Grayden) little boy Hunter (Jackson Xenia Prieto/William Juan Prieto) after killing her boyfriend the night before. ![]() Thankfully, the plot here and in the prior movies is fairly bare bones, which means even the novices among us can watch, may be scared and enjoy a lot of really nasty language. My problem, simply put, is that now I anticipate these moments and find myself more concerned about whether or not I can pinpoint the scary item before it happens than I am with the plot. If you’ve seen any of the prior films in the “Paranormal Activity” series, you know the moments I’m referring to. This aside, you have to applaud a series that still makes people jump with a door slamming, chandelier crashing to the ground or random small child popping up unexpectedly in the backyard play set. Heck, could it be because I have high expectations? Maybe it’s because I know the series pretty well and have seen the quality gradually decline since the first film, or perhaps it’s because the writers have backed themselves into a corner and are looking for an out. It’s a title I watched with a little optimism but a feeling in the back of my mind that I was somehow going to be let down sooner or later. Now, on to “Paranormal Activity 4,” a Paramount release that comes with its heart in the right place but its execution someplace else.
