The desire to blend reality and fiction in film predates the Found Footage genre by literal decades, with classics like The Legend of Boggy Creek and even the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre dipping their toes into documentary-inspired filmmaking long before in-universe-cameras became popular. Of course, it was only after The Blair Witch Project that […]

Once upon a time, Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension was positioned as the final film in the found footage franchise, but that was before Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin brought the franchise back to life on Paramount+ last Halloween.

In fact, some say that previews have evolved into an artform in and of themselves, often overshadowing the very […]

One of […]
Warning: Spoilers for Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin ahead… Next of Kin seems to be getting thrashed equally between critics and audiences. Personally, I felt like while the first two acts were uneven and a bit slow, the final act unleashed one of the most thought provoking and bat shit sequences of the entire series. […]
This Friday brings the resurgence of the Paranormal Activity franchise with a new entry, Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin, arriving exclusively on Paramount+ on October 29, 2021. Next of Kin appears to give the series a fresh start after six films and a non-canon sidequel, all connected to the demon Toby and his coven of followers in some way. The popular found […]
I’ve been in love with the Paranormal Activity franchise ever since I first stepped foot into a midnight screening of the first film back in 2009. The movie was spooky enough, but what really stuck with me was how its subtle scares managed to follow me home after the credits rolled. Of course, I wasn’t […]
