“This Halloween, the Horror is Reborn!” taunts the Paramount+ trailer for ‘Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin,’ which will be exclusively released on the streaming platform just in time for Halloween, on October 29, 2021. This movie will be the seventh installment of the very popular and creepy horror franchise.
‘Paranormal Activity,’ gained immediate popularity when it was released in 2009, and sequels closely followed. Fans have been waiting since 2015, when number six, ‘The Ghost Dimension,’ was released, for the continuation of the now cult-like ‘Paranormal Activity, ‘ movies. The movies are popular in the horror community and, with seven total movies now, have joined ranks with the horror-sect “greats,” which have cult-like followings; series like ‘Child’s Play;’ ‘Friday the 13th,’ ‘Nightmare On Elm Street,’ ‘Jaws,’ and ‘Scream,’ namely. The leading franchise in the ghost and supernatural movie genre, ‘Paranormal Activity,’ stands out for it’s filming style, it’s acting, as well as it exellent storylines, production and presentation.
Truly a terrifying premise, the “Paranormal Activity,” movies are presented in documentary format, making the horror of each story seem even more realistic. With tales such as these, about the sinister side of the supernatural, this first-person viewpoint pulls the audience into the story in such a way that allows them to experience it intrinsically. Expected to deliver the same high level of jaw-dropping jump-scares and ominous fear factors as its predecessors, ‘Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin,’ horror fans can’t wait for this premiere.
Directed by William Eubank (‘Underwater,’) and written by Christopher Landon (‘Happy Death Day,’), ‘Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin,’ stars Emily Bader, Roland Buck III, Dan Lippert, and Henry Ayers-Brown. The story is set around a young woman named Margot (Bader), a documentarian, who is determined to find more about her legacy and heritage. She’s has begun a self-awareness quest to find her long-lost birth mother, and the family she originally comes from. Her search has led her to a small Amish community, where she and her companion are welcomed with open arms.
“I am about to meet my first biological relative!” Margot tells the camera with obvious mixed emotions, at the beginning of her odyssey, seeming hopeful and optimistic. Surprised to find that her mother is of Amish descent, Margot nonetheless seeks out her long-lost relatives and they welcome her back into their lives when she returns. However, despite being a ‘God-fearing,’ people and portraying a peaceful front, Margot and her entourage find themselves caught up in something very, very wrong.
Margot finds some letters hidden away which were written by her biological mother, which only leads to ominous questions regarding the community they’ve come to be in. Strange things start to happen in the village upon Margot’s arrival. Events that can only be explained as… paranormal activity.
