2014 Movie Preview: #21 - Paranormal Activity 5

Release date: October 24

Plot summary: Scary things are happening in someone's house and they're capturing it all on video so you can be as freaked out as they are. Is it a ghost? Is it Tobey? Is it Katie Featherston? You'll have to pay money for a ticket and find out!

My take: At this point, this franchise is getting a little long in the tooth and probably should be put out to pasture. However, I don't want to see it go away until we get some answers related to the film's overall mythology. If they jerk audience's around again with this one, I'm calling it quits. But I'm hopeful that with the benefit of taking a year off that they'll have come up with a decent story that not only decently scares us but gives us the answers we've been looking for. Please note that the film I am previewing here is not the one that comes out in January. That one is a cheap spinoff that is merely looking to cash in on the Paranormal Activity name.
