I'm pretty sure they'll address the Katie/Hunter thing at some point. Also, I haven't really watched the others in awhile, but did Katie and Kristi ever confirm that their parents are dead? I'm curious about that because I remember Katie saying in the first one that they lost everything in the fire, but that everyone was okay and got out - but that they'd lost everything. I also remember Katie telling Kristi in PA2 to stop talking about the stuff that was going on because she'd "end up like mom", and that there was also some indication in the two films that their mom was "crazy". So I wonder if the "mom" that they make reference to is actually someone from the cult who raised them after Dennis and Julie were killed. When Dennis is talking about the witches, he talks about the brainwashing, so is it possible that the girls were brainwashed and don't really remember much of anything from that time? Because Katie tells a very different story about the demon from when she was 8 than what the tapes indicate. All she talks about is a shadowy figure at the foot of her bed that was always around her, never around Kristi. Also, the crazy grandmother was trying to get Julie back with Katie and Kristi's real father, so he may be involved somehow as well. Katie also says that the hauntings began when she was 8, stopped for awhile, and then started again when she was 13. In the box of tapes that she dropped off at Kristi's, there were the tapes from 88 that made up PA3, and a couple of tapes labeled Katie - 1992, and Katie - 1993, which would have been about the time that the activity began again. Those tapes were obviously stolen so that Katie and Kristi couldn't watch them and therefore be exposed to anything containing concrete evidence from that time, which would make sense is they were in fact, brainwashed.There's definitely some handwaving involved, but I think they're doing an okay job with a franchise that was never intended to be a franchise. That said, PA3 was my least favorite of the films thus far. There are opportunities for at least two more that I can see - the footage from when Katie was 12/13, or what I'd like to see more than that, an installment where Ali tries to locate Katie and Hunter.

The mom never watched the videos so she never saw the things going on.

The mom never watched the videos so she never saw the things going on.I haven't seen the movie yet but I know the trailer (it shows practically non stop) and all of which you mentioned are scenes from the previous movies. I always thought it was kinda lame they did that but I guess they were going for some type of continuity between the previous movies (mainly the last) so they showed clips in between new footage.
