QUICK TAKE:
Horror: A family must contend with supernatural events that occur in their house, most of which are captured on videotape.
PLOT:
It's 1998, and Dennis (CHRISTOPHER NICHOLAS SMITH) is a wedding videographer who lives with his girlfriend, Julie (LAURIE BITTNER), and her two young daughters, Katie (CHLOE CSENGERY) and Kristi (JESSICA BROWN). Julie is quite happy with him, even if he runs his business out of their garage with his friend, Randy (DUSTIN INGRAM), and despite Julie's mom (HALLIE FOOTE) thinking she could do better.

Everything is going great until weird things start happening in the house, all of which coincide with little Kristi suddenly having an imaginary friend who she calls Tobey. She speaks to him in the corner of her room, just to the side of a video camera that Dennis has placed there, as well as elsewhere in the house, in attempts to record those odd occurrences.

As he continues to capture them on tape, he and the rest of the family slowly start to realize that something supernatural and potentially quite dangerous is escalating in their home.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
If they're fans of the first two "Paranormal Activity" films, or supernatural-based horror movies in general, they probably will.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R
For some violence, language, brief sexuality and drug use.
