The seventh installment of the Paranormal Activity series is centered around a protagonist named Margot (Emily Bader), who is shooting a documentary about a visit to Amish Country during which she hopes to connect with her roots.

Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin Teaser Trailer Hints at Return to Origins: Watch
Today, Paramount+ offered a first look at Blumhouse’s Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin and revealed the seventh installment of the horror franchise will premiere exclusively on the streaming service on October 29th. Watch the trailer below.

It’s unclear what happens next, but there’s a car accident and pitchforks are raised, followed by a woman being dragged away against her will in a found footage style scene. Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin is billed as “an unexpected reimagining” of the film series, but no official plot has been revealed as of yet. What we do know is tha...
Paranormal Activity Sequel and Pet Sematary Prequel Coming to Paramount+
Halloween is nowhere near, but horror fans are still being gifted one of those king-sized treats today. A sequel to Paranormal Activity and a prequel to Pet Sematary are in the works and are set to debut on the new streaming service Paramount+.

The studio hasn’t provided much information about the films themselves, but they’re calling the seventh edition of the ...

US Republican senators confront Netflix over Chinese sci-fi show
Five Republican US senators have confronted Netflix over the streaming giant’s plan to adapt a Chinese sci-fi book trilogy, expressing concern over the original author’s comments about claims of forced labor in Xinjiang. Liu Cixin’s bestselling “The Three-Body Problem,” which tells the story of humanity’s first contact with aliens, is set to become a major Netflix series co-written by the creators of “Game of Thrones.” In a letter to content boss Ted Sarandos, the senators accused Liu of “parroting dangerous [Communist Party] propaganda” and suggested Netflix was “providing a platform to Mr Liu in producing this project.” They highlighted a New Yorker article from last year in which Liu is quoted defending mass internment in China’s northwestern Xinjiang region, where activists say more th...
