The River: The Complete First Season - DVD Review
22 May 2012 9:27 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Although the trip down The River was cut short just as the series was getting good, the DVD release of the Complete First Season capture the magic of the eight episodes and features enough bonus material to please fans of the short-lived series.

The series featured Bruce Greenwood, Joe Anderson, Leslie Hope, Eloise Mumford, Paul Blackthorne, Thomas Kretschmann, Daniel Zacapa, Shaun Parkes, Paulina Gaitan, Scott Michael Foster, Katie Featherston, and Lee Tergesen.

Indie Horror Month Video Interview Part Two: Oren Peli Discusses Sequels, Life Changes, Sticking to Your Guns and More for Paranormal Activity
15 March 2012 4:16 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
In Part One of our video interview series with Paranormal Activity creator Oren Peli, we chatted about the challenges of making a micro-budget indie horror movie and how he knew from the moment original co-stars Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat met that he had something quite special.
We also heard more from Peli about the much-publicized potential remake that DreamWorks and Paramount quickly nixed once they realized what kind of magic Peli and his Pa stars had conjured up while shooting the flick back in 2006.
For Part Two of our exclusive video interview with Peli for Dread Central’s Indie Horror Month, he discusses the intricacies of the unique “Demand It” marketing campaign that Paramount launched for Paranormal Activity during 2009 as well as why he decided to take a step back from directing the highly successful Pa sequels.
Peli also describes just how drastically his life has changed since making Paranormal Activity, »

Who's Writing "Paranormal Activity 4?"
15 March 2012 2:31 PM, PDT | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »
The fourth installment in the super-popular "Paranormal Activity" franchise will scare viewers on Oct. 19, and today, we heard that Paramount has picked a writer.
Zack Estrin, writer/executive producer on ABC's "The River" is set to pen "Paranormal Activity 4." Having "Paranormal" producer Jason Blum and creator Oren Peli as executive producers of "The River" surely helped matters. They are probably impressed with Estrin's talent in giving folks the heebie jeebies.
"Paranormal Activity" is one of the most profitable franchises ever! Just look at the math: the first "Paranormal Activity" was made for $15,000 and grossed $193.4 million worldwide!
"Paranormal Activity 2" cost $3 million to make and eventually sold $177.5 million worth of box-office tickets worldwide.
The third "Paranormal" cost about $5 million and made $202.2 million worldwide.
Can you see the pattern here? So how much will "Paranormal Activity 4" cost? $10 million maybe? It can't be that much! There are no-name stars and no heavy special effects trickery needed. »

Indie Horror Month Video Interview Part One: Oren Peli Talks the Ups and Downs of Making Paranormal Activity and More!
14 March 2012 12:00 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
In 2006 former video game programmer Oren Peli embarked on an ambitious career change: Inspired by the 1999 found footage flick The Blair Witch Project, Peli cast up-and-coming actors Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat for his own found footage fear fest - Paranormal Activity.
A $15,000 micro-budget horror film with a first-time director at the helm and two unknown actors front and center, Peli's Paranormal Activity faced insurmountable odds when it came time to start spreading the word on the film. After being dismissed by a handful of festivals and studio executives alike, Pa was finally nabbed up by a few notable film festivals including Screamfest, Slamdance and the Telluride Film Festival over the course of almost two years.
Eventually Paranormal Activity and Peli caught the attention of the executives at DreamWorks - in particular a certain Mr. Spielberg - and the studio nabbed the flick right up. Thereafter the film made its »

The River S01E6: "Doctor Emmet Cole"
Of all the things we learned about Dr. Emmet Cole this week, I think the most important is how bad he is at hiring crew members. First it was the party bro who thought it was okay to film locals' deaths on his Android and this week we learned that Emmet had also hired an extremely dangerous woman to operate his cameras. I'm talking, of course, about Katie Featherston, the main subject of of Three documentaries that very... More >> »

20 Things to Know About Paranormal Activity 3 and the Franchise From Our Afternoon Tea with Oren Peli and the Cast
1 February 2012 4:57 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
There is a lot Paranormal Activity grand maestro Oren Peli won’t talk about. He won’t talk about his long delayed Area 51. He won’t talk about any hypothetical projects or anyone he wants to work with in the future. He won’t give any specifics on his new TV series, The River. And he professes that he has no idea what Paranormal Activity 4 will look like. With this in mind, it is no great shock to announce that a recent afternoon tea with Peli, as well as Christopher Nicholas Smith, Chloe Csengery and Jessica Tyler Brown (all of Paranormal Activity 3) and Micah Sloat and Katie Featherston (stars of the original film) revealed no great secrets about the franchise’s future. Rather, much like the films themselves, it was an afternoon of looking back and filling in the holes and unanswered questions about what came before. »

The River: Season 1 Trailer Released
Are you ready to be scared?
If so, ABC's upcoming supernatural/horror series The River may be just for you, judging from a recently released trailer. The River brings us to the heart of the Amazon, where famed nature show host Emmet Cole had been missing (and presumed dead) for six months. Once his emergency beacon goes off, though, his family and crew make the trek back down to his last location on the off chance that he may be alive. However, what they find there is a force more powerful (and terrifying) than anyone could have imagined and the goal soon goes from rescuing Emmet to self-preservation.
The trailer for The River is full of shaky cam, tense silences, and an increasingly fractured group of Dr. Cole's loved ones trying to make it out of the jungle alive. The show may be set »

Paranormal Activity 3 - Blu-ray Review
26 January 2012 9:37 AM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
The third time is the charm? It certainly charmed the box office (so look out for a fourth) and returned much on the investment. There are some good jump scares, but maybe the formula is a bit too noticeable as well. Again, those box office numbers will negate any criticism since Paramount is laughing all the way to the bank. 2005 . Katie (Katie Featherston) delivers a box of videotapes to her sister Kristi.s (Sprauge Grayden) house. Kristi and her husband Daniel (Brian Boland) dump them in their basement. A year later their house is ransacked and the tapes are missing. Flashback to 1988 . Young Katie (Chloe Csengery) and Kristi (Jessica Tyler Brown) are living »

'Paranormal Activity 3' And What I Learned At My "Tea With Toby"
24 January 2012 11:45 AM, PST | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »
Last week Paramount held a "Tea With Toby" at The Roosevelt Hotel in celebrate today's DVD/Blu-ray release of Paranormal Activity 3. What was "Tea With Toby"? It was a press event where I (among other journalists) was summoned to the hotel for a late afternoon Tea. Complete with sandwiches, smoked salmon, little pastries - what I had always imagined Tea being like in England. We were there to discuss the film (and the franchise) with Oren Peli, Katie Featherston, Micah Sloat, Christopher Smith, Chloe Csengery and Jessica Tyler Brown. While it was a breezy and enjoyable 90 minutes, the gracious and polite Peli lived up to his notoriously tight-lipped reputation in regard to any new info on the series. And the cast followed suit. »

Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman Returning For ‘Paranormal Activity 4;’ Where Will The Story Go?
5 January 2012 9:00 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
When Paramount announced [1] they'd hired Catfish directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman to direct Paranormal Activity 3, the world of film collectively rolled their eyes. Then the film came out and the duo gouged those eyes out. Joost and Schulman knocked the film out of the park (read my review here [2]), turned a major profit and left a ton of places for the fourth film to go. Now they'll be the ones to take it there. After the recent news that Paranormal Activity 4 will be released on October 19 [3], it has now been revealed Joost and Schulman will return as directors, this time with several more months to prepare. Where will the movie go? We speculate and more after the jump. Bloody Disgusting [4] exclusively broke the news of the film's returning directors. They don't have any additional information on what the film will focus on, but, we can speculate in one »

'Paranormal Activity 4' is officially a go
3 January 2012 12:33 PM, PST | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
"Paranormal Activity 3" cost a reported $5 million to make and earned more than $200 million at the box office worldwide. So it should be no surprise at all that Paramount has given the green light to a fourth movie in the horror franchise.
The studio made the official announcement Tuesday (Jan. 3) in a press release detailing its roster of 2012 films, which also includes "World War Z," "GI Joe: Retaliation" and Sacha Baron Cohen's "The Dictator."
Other than the fact that it's on the docket for this year, Paramount has little else to say about the story or who will be involved in making "Paranormal Activity 4." Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman directed the third movie, which delved into the past of sisters Katie (Katie Featherston) and Kristi (Sprague Grayden), who starred in the first two films.
Joost and Schulman say they'd be happy to take the reins of the new movie, »
