Paranormal Activity Reviews, Interviews & More

A couple of the fall’s more interesting movies hit DVD and Blu-ray this week, which means it’s going to be easy to play catch up with some of the films that may have slipped by during their theatrical runs. There are also some good classic titles this week, and a box set of a franchise that just turned twenty five.

It was obvious that Cloud Atlas was not going to be an easy sell. But with the names attached it was thought to be something of a sell. It turns out that the answer to that was nope. Also big news: Argo, in it's third week of release, topped the box office. But it would be impressive if it had to fight off any competition This...

Fall season is starting to kick into gear, and starting next week the real season begins of blockbusters and Oscar contenders (and some that are half one, half the other). This week the major releases are Chasing Mavericks, Cloud Atlas, Fun Size and Silent Hill: Revelations.

As we reported last week, the Paranormal Activity franchise will be receiving a Latino-themed spin-off in early 2013 (though it will still be in English, because English-language viewers can’t be bothered with subtitles when watching someone’s door slam in the middle of the night); but, thanks to Paranormal Activity 4’s number 1 spot at the weekend box office, as well...

 Paranormal Activity 4 had the lowest grossing opening weekend of any Paranormal sequel, which means that the franchise may yet get a fifth entry, but is either wearing out its welcome, or this entry wasn't marketed as well as its predecessors. Perhaps there's just nowhere left to go. Alex Cross didn't open, so who...

This weekend shows that Paramount still remembers how to do horror sequels as they've dashed off three quickie horror sequels in the last three years to capitalize on the success of Paranormal Activity. It reminds of their success with Friday the 13th films (though they were much more embarrassed of that franchise). And then there's Tyler...

Let's face it, when we sit through the entire credit roll at the movie theater, we're hoping something will pop up after. But unless it's The Avengers or some other comic-book movie, that's unlikely to happen. But we have some news for anyone going to see Paranormal Activity 4 on October 19th. You're going to want to stay for the credits...

Well, it’s almost October again, so you know what that means: time for another dirt-cheap film starring a host of low-paid unknowns, featuring a lot of conveniently staged and shot found footage of blankets being pulled and doors being slammed… real hard.  And then that weird ch-ching ch-ching noise in the background as the studio rakes in a ton of cash.  That’s...

The Amityville Horror franchise is not exactly one of horror’s better or more distinguished haunted house franchises—seriously, the villain in Amityville 4 is a goddamn haunted lamp—but like all major horror franchises, it essentially tells the same story over and over again, with just tiny changes and iterations with each new sequel. ...

In the mood for some found-footage filmmaking in which you hear things bump around in the background for about 80 minutes followed by 10 minutes of actual activity?  Well, have we ever got something for you—the trailer for Paranormal Activity 4 (a.k.a., Paranormal Activity 4: Jesus, You People Are Still Paying For This?  Seriously, We’re Just NannyCam-ing A Bunch Of...

Realistically, Oren Peli's 2009 film Paranormal Activity should never had generated a sequel. There's not much of a story to tell and explaining why people are haunted by ghosts is just as likely to ruin the mystique as expand on it. But 2010's Paranormal Activity 2 was also a huge hit, and so a year later there's a third film. And unlike the...

You have to give credit to the people behind Paranormal Activity. The first film by Oren Peli became a word of mouth sensation, and they were smart to rush the second film into production to come out a year later. Now, just two years after the first film, they've already got a third film due out October 21. They've released a better trailer for it, and it already...

In October, Paranormal Activity 2 opened to great reviews and even greater money. The film was a huge success and has grossed $156 million so far at the box office. The first film topped off at $193 million so it won't be long before the sequel catches up. While Paramount is counting their money, they've decided to push a third film into development, and according to...

This weekend horror films Saw 3D and Paranormal Activity 2 took the top two spots at the box office. The final installment of the long-running Saw franchise topped the box office with $24.2 million -- people sure do love the jigsaw. Now, most of the movies down below have been the top ten week after week, but this...

This Halloween season everyone is going bananas for Paranormal Activity, the sequel. Much like its predecessor, the horror film has broken box office records. It took the number one spot this weekend earning $41 million, while breaking the record for the biggest midnight gross for an R-rated movie. Clint Eastwood's Hereafter, which...

The freaks come out and night and the majority of them are drawn to the horror sequel, Paranormal Activity 2. Thursday evening, fans of the film lined up in droves across the country to attend the first midnight screenings of the sequel, and all their dedication paid off big for the studio. PA 2 broke a box office record while simultaneously scaring the sh*t...

Paranormal Activity 2 will hit theaters on Friday October 22nd, and people want to know if it will live up to its predecessor. Will it be the Empire Strikes Back of the franchise or the next Blair Witch: Book of Shadows? Press screenings have been held all over the country and critics are weighing in whether or not...

Are you a Paranormal fan? If so, you might already be planning your wait in line to see the film early. Paramount is planning on making an entire event out of the wait in line for the film and on top of that for ten days only, the studio giving away free downloads of the first movie Paranormal Activity on iTunes, with the advance movie ticket purchase of the...

A new trailer has been released for Paramount's upcoming sequel Paranormal Activity 2. The teaser debuted back in June and brought some new elements to the series - disappearing babies! Who doesn't get scared sh*tless when a defenseless child goes missing and the watch dog is none the wiser? This new trailer doesn't ease your fears one bit because it features even...

Earlier this week, we told you there was a good chance that the first teaser trailer for Paramount's Paranormal Activity 2 would be attached to select screenings of The Twilight Saga Eclipse. Conveniently, the studio debuted the trailer on their official website just as the film premiered last night and it's very family oriented... in a...
