Let's see if I'm close on how PA3 goes....

Events occur, and someone somewhere finds a video tape or tapes about a missing family/family member. They decide to look at it and see what happened for clues.

Family life is going ok. Family wants to record most of their lives because it's fun to look back later, etc., etc., pick a reason. But they're going to record everything.

Something is wrong with the house. Someone either died there or something about the house or a family member is haunted.

Weird stuff happens in the house. Drawers left open, stuff moved, stuff broken, pet goes missing/killed, whatever. Confuses the pee out of the family. One person freaks and is convinced something is wrong, the other says hmm, something isn't right but we got to figure it out. They decide to record at night to see if they can detect anything themselves. More weird stuff happens a bit worse each time. Not sure what the message is, but the family apparently isn't getting it either.

End of movie:

This is where the actual scary part would be inserted, if there is one. Everything leading up to it will be lame. Either family moves out at the end, or something happens to them that nobody can find a trace of one or more of them again, save for this tape.

Pretty close? We shall soon see.
