50 Upcoming Movie Sequels (Yep, 50)
25 March 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Sequels are awesome, plain and simple. Returning to familiar characters and worlds we love is like covering yourself with a warm blanket, although when a sequel is bad it can be like a blanket covered in potato bugs and lice. Studios love sequels because seven times out of ten they open huge, no matter how good they are.
With that in mind, here's 50 of your favorite titles all preparing to get new installments. Some of them are deep into pre-production while others have barely gotten out of the pitch stages, but you'll be salivating at the thought of some of these sweet babies finally making their way to the screen.

Status: The law of diminishing returns seems to have caught up to Paramount's annual license to print money, and even though the last "Paranormal" grossed half its predecessor, producer Jason Blum is gonna »

Blu-ray Review: Paranormal Activity 4
19 February 2013 3:01 AM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Brady Allen, Katie Featherston, Kathryn Newton, Matt Shively | Written by Christopher Landon | Directed by Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman
I loved the first Paranormal Activity film. I remember watching it with terrified friends in a shrieking cinema and then later subjecting flatmates to it. My girlfriend to this day is guaranteed a sleepless night if you so much as mention Paranormal Activity during an evening. In preparation for Paranormal Activity 4, I caught up with the sequels. I found them far from as exciting as the original though there was stuff to enjoy in both of them – PA2 perhaps has more pointed scares than the first and I enjoyed the period setting of PA3; surely all horror films should be set in their eighties heyday? What was lacking was the enjoyment of watching them as part of an audience.
So it was with great anticipation I attended »

Blu-ray Review: ‘Paranormal Activity 4’ is Bottom of Found Footage Barrel
11 February 2013 12:57 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The “Paranormal Activity” franchise has been in steady decline since its relatively ingenious first film but I never expected quite the drop off to absolute garbage as comes in the fourth installment, recently released on Blu-ray and DVD and worth no one’s time. Stunningly boring and arguably the worst offender of the common “they wouldn’t still be filming” aspect of the found footage genre, this is lazy filmmaking on every level.
Rating: 1.0/5.0
“Paranormal Activity 4” picks up in 2011, five years after Katie (Katie Featherston) disappeared with her nephew Hunter after killing her sister, brother-in-law, and husband. No one has seen them since. Until they move in next door to the hapless victims of this piece, led by a teenage girl named Alex (Kathryn Newton) and her younger brother. Alex spends much of the film on Skype (or some other webchat), which allows for a whole lot of »

Katie Featherston's So-Called 'Paranormal' Life

Paranormal Activity 4 is out on Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack this week for edge-of-your-seat at-home consumption, and the film features the menacing return of Katie Featherston to the groundbreaking horror franchise, who talks to ETonline about the secret recipe to the long-running series, what truly scares her – and how she really wants to do comedy!
Pics: 13 Must-See Movies of 2013
ETonline: Four films and counting... What's the secret to the success of the Paranormal Activity franchise? Why do people subject themselves to such entertaining torture again and again and again?
Katie Featherston: "I think people enjoy being scared, and I think that one thing that this franchise does, and that started with [series creator] Oren Peli, is that it's about the audience's imagination. It's about building up to a scare and not about shock value. Not that there aren't really shocking, wonderful scares, but there's a great build-up and there's a lot of imagination that is required of an audience »
