Paranormal Activity is a 2009 American horror film written and directed by Oren Peli. It premiered at the Screamfest Film Festival in the US on October 14, 2007, and was shown at the Slamdance Film Festival on January 18, 2008. The film received a limited release in several US cities on October 9, 2009, and had a nationwide release on October 16, 2009.
The movie centers on a young couple, Katie and Micah, who are haunted by a supernatural presence in their home. The movie is presented in the style of "found footage", from the camera set up by the couple to capture what is haunting them.
The film has earned over $100 million at the US box office alone, on a reported budget of $15,000. Paranormal Activity is one of the most profitable movies ever made, based on return on investment.
And now, ladies and gents, we have Paranormal Activity 2 on its way. Paramount has hired screenwriter Michael R. Perry to create the follow-up and is planning an October 22, 2010 release. Oren Peli, the director of the first film, will serve as a producer for the sequel. Kevin Greutert, director of Saw VI, was initially hired to direct the sequel. However Lionsgate Films have since exercised a clause in Greutert's contract to have him direct the next film in the Saw franchise. The full acting cast is expected to return for the sequel. Tod "Kip" Williams will be directing Paranormal Activity 2, which is scheduled for production in May 2010. The teaser trailer is to be seen with The Twilight Saga: Eclipse in the US upon its release on June 30, 2010. It will not be releasing attached to Australian prints, for the first week at least. Bring it on - this is the first film in a long while that scared the shit out of me

I know I sound cynical. I can't help myself, the current climate has conditioned me so.
