Paranormal Activity Reboot Coming From Underwater Director, Releases March 2022
Paranormal Activity, the micro budget supernatural chiller that first put Blumhouse on the map, is still one of the most profitable films ever made. Indeed, writer/director Oren Peli shot it for about $15,000 and it ended up bringing in over $193 million at the box office.
Admittedly, audiences were split on the movie, with some people loving the thick atmosphere and sense of tension throughout, while others found it a bit boring until right near the end. Still, it was a hugely influential film that brought a modern spin to the haunted house subgenre. Of course, it also spawned a very successful franchise, one that’s now about to be rebooted.
