    "Tokyo Night" was actually put on theaters here in Mexico, but some time after the real 2 came out, and the assholes from the cinema chain titled it "Paranorlam Activity 0", which was a dick move because everyone was already waiting for 3 which was a prequel.
    Now I like it, but I remember feeling completely ripped off at the time.

    Having seen all the movies when they came out except "Next of Kin" which I saw a year later, I believe "Ghost Dimension" is by far the worst due to the bad CGI and poor acting. I did like "Next of Kin" with all the cool dark tunnel stuff, crazy amish folks and the snowy setting. The climax pays off in the end. It doesn't have found footage though. Great video! I had dropped Hack the Movies for some months and came back with this one. I still have Waterworld pending.

    My favorite horror franchise, easily.
    Haven't actually watched the newest (fake fan, I know), so 4 is hands down the weak link. It's the only one I'd outright call bad. The rest are varying degrees of good to great.
    I go back and forth between the first and third as my favorite/the best. But The Ghost Dimension was a surprisingly solid ending to the series. I had said for years that if they actually showed the demon that it would ruin it, and yet they managed to make it work and it resulted in some really cool moments.

    3 is obviously the best in this franchise it has offers many new scares and more scares compared to first two films.In my opinion Kitchen scene and sheet scene were destined to become classic horror scenes in horror genre. And the last 15 minutes... witch coven was scary as hell. I really liked first two movie but 3 has different dynamics. 😊❤

    They could have connected Next of Kin to the other movies. Especially if you could into the lore of the demon used in the movie...Asmodeus. Part of the Christian lore is that he constantly disrupts a woman named Sarah's marriages. Sarah was used as the name of the mom in the movie. It is hostile to Sarah through out the book of Tobit. Asmodeus kills 7 of Sarah's on their wedding nights. Eventually Sarah meets Tobias who she plans to wed. It's Tobias who finally defeats Asmodeus. Notice the name Tobias....Tobi. C'mon they could have changed it up a little to make the story fit in with the Christian lore. In the movie Asmodeus gets away. Maybe one day we'll get a Tobi vs. Asmo scene.

The other end in that they changed and her being possessed et never saw, but the thing is the whole cop shooting her is the only part that mean my parents didn't seem when we first saw the movies, so I'm confused. As there are 3 innings, the one where the cop shooter, 1 where the cops don't shoot her, and they she just sits for days or the 1 where she gets busy. That's because I know they won't with the possessor out with the sequels. But she didn't get shot by cops. If she still alive in the sequels soh , i'm confused

And you, as an Italian-Irish American, should question yourself for not having reviewed a single one of these movies. Frankenstein doesn't count either. Enough with the superhero fantasy kid stuff. Review Reservoir dogs or something. I'm skipping the superhero movies without hesitation. You could be reviewing movies like Fatal Attraction or Eraserhead.
