About the Paranormal Activity saga
'Paranormal Activity' is one of the most profitable phenomena in film history. Oren Peli shot the first film in his own house on a budget of around $15,000: a couple set up a camera in their bedroom to find out what happens at night. After the festival circuit, Paramount released it with a campaign asking audiences to demand it in their town, and 'Paranormal Activity' took close to $200 million.
Producer Jason Blum, who turned that success into the model for his company Blumhouse, followed with one film a year: 'Paranormal Activity 2' (2010), partly a prequel to the first, 'Paranormal Activity 3' (2011), set in 1988, and 'Paranormal Activity 4' (2012).
The series tried a change of setting with the spin-off 'The Marked Ones' (2014) and bowed out of cinemas with 'The Ghost Dimension' (2015), the first in 3D. Every film uses the found footage style, built from the characters' own camera recordings.
