3 is better than 2. I’ll give it that. It’s about on-level with the movie that introduced this increasingly more unnecessary string of Blair ghost sequels. If they end it here, perhaps it will stand as a decent trilogy; notably better than, say, the Poltergeist series. But there’s almost a better chance of real ghosts and demons existing than that happening. This series; each entry of which is presented by a different director, though that fact isn’t obvious from watching them; will probably long overstay its welcome.
Let me just make it clear that I don’t like any of these movies. And I especially don’t like the way this one ends. Going to Grandma’s house was a bad idea for the plot. But the story before that point is thoroughly decent, which is surprising because, when it comes to movies, it seems part threes are rarely better than part twos. It’s another prequel; revolving around, or panning back and forth on, Katie and Kristi as little kids. Katie, I think, is about eight years old, so this is where their demonic hauntings begin.
