A fifth film in the franchise was originally planned for release on October 25, 2013, but was later pushed back to a release date of October 24, 2014. Oren Peli, the creator of the franchise, will return to produce the fifth film, and Katie Featherston will return to reprise her role as Katie. In late September 2013, Paramount hired Almanac writers Jason Pagan and Andrew Stark to write the screenplay, and set Gregory Plotkin, editor of the past films, to direct.
Paranormal Activity is a supernatural horror film series, currently consisting of four films. Created by Oren Peli, the original film was widely released in 2009. There are two more films currently planned in the series, including a direct sequel to the most recent film as well as a spin-off film, both of which are set to be released in 2014.
The films are based around a family haunted by a demonic entity, that stalks, terrifies and ultimately murders several members of the family, and other bystanders, during the course of the films. The series makes use of camcorders, security cameras and other recording devices, presenting the films as found footage. The series has received mixed reviews, with the first and third films receiving generally positive critical reception, while the second and fourth films received more lukewarm, mixed-to-negative reception. The series is a strong financial success, making strong profits based on return on investment.
