Well, here we are again another house, another camera, another box of tapes in the garage. Another 90 minutes of watching people watch video footage. Yippee. For the first time, you will see the activity! claimed the advertising. For the sixth time, you wont see much of anything until the end, responded the audience, who stayed away in droves. Even Paranormal Activity 4 opened at #1, but Ghost Dimension could only make it to #6, with a paltry $8 million opening weekend. The reason for that is because the movie doesnt depart greatly from the formula, and since the events are supposedly taking place in 2013 that is, after Paranormal Activity 2 havent we already moved on from here? As long as they dont make another one, who cares?
