The latest film in the Paranormal Activity series has been announced. It will be the seventh film in the hit found footage horror franchise, and it’s slated to arrive in 2022.

The series started in 2009 with Paranormal Activity. The film was directed by Oren Peli, a software developer with no prior filmmaking experience, who had a great idea that was relatively easy to execute and set about making it at home. The film focused on a young couple who were experiencing strange and frightening noises in their home, so set up video cameras to record overnight to find out what’s causing them. It was filmed in 2007 and took two years to hit theaters, but was ultimately a huge hit, with audiences flocking to see this chilling and intense found footage experience. The low $15,000 production budget and $193 million worldwide gross helped make it one of the highest-grossing films of all time.

A sequel soon followed, and soon Paranormal Activity had become an entire franchise. To date, there have been six films, and although budgets have increased a bit, they have all been very successful. None of the films strayed from the formula – Paranormal Activity 3 was a prequel, the fifth film, 2014 Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, introduced a cult aspect, and there’s a vague connected mythology that developed through the series. But for the most part, the films have simply attempted to replicate what made the first film so popular, with varying degrees of success. There was even a Japanese spin-off titled Paranormal Activity 2: Tokyo Night, released in 2010.

It’s been five years since the last movie, but there’s another entry on the way. Paranormal Activity 7 was first announced in 2019, with a 2021 release date.
