Paramount has announced that Paranormal Activity 4 is being produced and that it will be ready by Halloween weekend. The move isn’t that surprising when you consider the great steaming f*ckloads of money they’ve already made on the franchise. I honestly didn’t even know a third Paranormal Activity existed, and it set an opening weekend record for best October debut and best opening weekend for a horror film with $54 million, before going on to earn $202.2 million worldwide. Oren Peli directed the first one on a $15,000 budget ($194.4 million worldwide gross), then stepped into the producer’s chair for the next two, which were directed by Tod Williams and the team of Henry Joost and Ariel Shulman, respectively. No word yet on who’ll direct the fourth, but rest assured it probably won’t matter much.
Anyway, great for them. I’ll probably continue not seeing these. I just don’t really get the appeal. A curtain blows open, and a lady looks outside, and she’s like, “OH MY GOD, IT’S NOT EVEN WINDY! THIS HOUSE MUST BE HAUNTED!” It seems more like the raw material for a phone message from my mom than a movie franchise. But it’s cool that you guys like it. You know, whatever makes you happy.

HOLEEE SHEEEET! Third row back, second seat over, that’s Joey Baconola from when’s I grewed up! He died in a tragic Pop Rocks/Gaping Chest wound…27 years ago!!!!
yaaaaaaaaaaaawn
Pop Rocks/Gaping Chest wound accident that is. Needless to say I didn’t get my first aid badge that summer.
Well, I’m starting to get scared.
They should cast Dick Clark as the demon.
That guy scares me.
Amen. You could actually hear the fun go out of the party I was at on NYE when Dick Clark did the countdown. “Hapwahg Nahs Yargh, ebbyonh!”
That guy got the derp scared into him.
They could put signs next to the line for this movie that say ‘Subnormal Activity’.
Paranormal Activity 4: Because they stopped making Saw movies asshole.
I would love to watch any of the movies previewed before Tropic Thunder than any of the Paranormal Activity franchise, even a Booty Sweat movie would be better.
Paranormal Fourctivity: The Silverware Shining.
Paranormal 4ctivity: 2 Ghost 2 Goonius
Happy New Year!!~~
My friend just met a cutest girl on — NSArelationships dot c’0m–. It’s where for charming
woman and handsome man seeking No Strings Attached relationship!
It’s a nice place for people who wanna find gorgeous intimate encounters….no bounds or
extremes in front of true love. XXOOXXOO
We must stop meeting like this
My favorite kind of criticism is one that starts with the person admitting they’ve never seen them, then proceeding to say why they (they assume) they suck. Nicely done.
So what you’re saying is that you don’t actually KNOW that shit tastes terrible, right? And maybe it warrants trying out?
I’ve seen 1 and 2. I liked them both, but then I enjoy the whole home movie/found-footage genre. Apollo 18, Blair Witch (though that shit needs edited down). I applaud getting the maximum effect from the minimum resources. Sort of the flipside of most of Hollywood.
