What makes it interesting is how it takes this traditionally safe environment and relinquishes control of it to an unseen and seemingly unstoppable supernatural force. ![]() But where The Blair Witch Project took us outside and played off of its eerie wooded locations, Peli's film plays out almost entirely indoors in an entirely pedestrian looking suburban home. While it's seemingly okay to bash that film now, it scared the crap out of a lot of people who saw it in theaters and on video, and it too was made by a cast of unknowns for a very small amount of money. Paranormal Activity has much in common with a previous indie success story, The Blair Witch Project. The first movie in the series, from 2007, was written and directed by Oren Peli and made for fifteen grand using his own home as the movie's solitary location. But before we get into that, let’s go over the movies themselves. Each film, with the exception of Next Of Kin, is offered up in its original theatrical version as well as its extended cut, which is a nice touch, although those expecting loads of extra features may be ultimately disappointed. Just in time for Halloween, Paramount Studios bundles together all seven of the Paranormal Activity movies, including Paranormal Activity: Next Of Kin, which is exclusive to this collection, and a fairly sprawling documentary on the series titled Unknown Dimension: The Story Of Paranormal Activity. ![]() Paranormal Activity: The Ultimate Chills Collection – Movie Review: ![]() Director: Oren Peli, Tod Williams, Henry Joost/Ariel Schulman, Christopher Landon, Gregory Plotkin, William EubankĬast: Katie Featherstone, Micah Sloa, Sprague Grayden, Brian Boland, Andrew Jacobs, Emily Bader
