My All Time Favorite Movie Genre

What’s your favorite movie genre?

For me, my favorite genre is...

Don’t get me wrong, I love every movie genre. Every once in a while I’ll be itching for a “tear-jerker”, but in most cases, I always find myself popping in a horror flick. I absolutely love watching horror flicks because they always keep me on the edge of my seat, biting my lip and covering my eyes, in anticipation of what may or may not jump out at me! And most of them have a good storyline to go with it. Granted, from time to time, you will come across those horror flicks where you think to yourself, “Well, there’s two hours I’ll never see again”, but at one point or another, you are bound to come across those flicks in any genre. 

However, as time went on, horror movies have evolved and directors are becoming more creative in terrifying their audiences. I think that "Paranormal Activity" is a perfect example of this generation’s idea of a horror movie—a movie that is shot from the perspective of a camcorder, recording all different rooms in the house, and catching supernatural phenomena.

  

To the audience, these films look real and the thought that something so terrifying could in fact be real is the new fad. I remember when the first "Paranormal Activity" came out, I saw the opening show at midnight. I remember in some parts of the movie, I literally jumped in mid-air! And when the movie ended, I went home to my studio apartment and could not fall asleep until about 5 AM (with all the lights on, of course).

Paramount Pictures has officially announced that there will be two more installments to the "Paranormal Activity" Franchise.



“Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones”, a spin-off to the series, is scheduled to hit theaters in January 2014. 

The spin-off follows a man named Jesse (played by Andrew Jacobs), who has been marked by the same demonic force that we have seen throughout the series. The trailer reveals some pretty frightening moments in the film, from bite marks on Jesse’s arm, to people getting thrown across the street by an unknown force!

In addition to the spin-off, Paramount has also announced that they will be continuing the original series with a "Paranormal Activity 5", which is scheduled to hit theaters in October 2014.

What do YOU think 

about the "Paranormal Activity" Franchise? 

Many people believe that a movie franchise loses its touch after the third or fourth installment, but do you think that these next two installments will bring the terror and revive the series once more?
