Critics Consensus

Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin gives the long-running found-footage franchise a new level of visual polish; unfortunately, effective scares are few and far between.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

This incarnation of the Paranormal Activity films is plenty effective... These actors are just excellent at playing the material.

It's clearly an original story that's been slapped with the Paranormal Activity label and that only adds to the sense that there's little creative depth here.

Rated: 1.5/4

No longer bound by tired mythology, Next of Kin presents a new supernatural mystery through its most polished effort yet. If only it included tension and scares, too.

Rated: 2.5/5

The underutilization of found footage is completely unforgivable, causing the movies best asset to become its weakest link.

Rated: 2/5

Once it gets to the third act, it goes hard. It also has one of my favorite climaxes I’ve seen in a found footage film, as the action and horror become unrelenting. It knows what it wants to be and it delivers on the scares in the third act.

Rated: 3.5/5

Wildly better than The Ghost Dimension but still far from great, PA: Next of Kin is a mess of a movie with some decent scares & performances, but unprompted changes from found-footage to cinematic film cameras and some bland writing make this a lesser entry.

The 2010's original was ok. All the succeeding sequels were mediocre bad including this.

Yet another attempt to keep this franchise going, this wasn’t as bad as The Marked Ones and at least feels somewhat like a Paranormal Activity movie. It does have a certain vibe to it, which is the vibe that has long been at the heart of the Paranormal Activity franchise, and it is also a sub-genre that usually works well and did work well here once it grew into the horror it was beholden to. End was predictable but after seeing this, I think there is new hope for the Paranormal Activity franchise.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
