The **Paranormal Activity **franchise has been known in the past for traipsing back in time to explore earlier encounters with the demonic entity that plagued two hapless humans in the original film. For what is planned as the final entry (at least for now), technology helps the story peek all the way back to the beginning. Check out the latest trailer for Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension.
The family enduring the scares this time are Ryan, Emily, their daughter Leila, and Ryan's younger brother Mike. Another daughter has died a year previous to the film, which will almost certainly tie into events here. The location is Palo Alto, where the clan has just moved from New York, so that video game designer Ryan can start his new job.
Emily, meanwhile, is an Earth mother type who does yoga, while Leila is described as a tomboyish combination of her big-kid dad and more mature mom… Oh, and Katie Featherstone returns in demonic guise. It’s a chance to explore how the Bloody Mary saga got started in the first place, even if there are concerns this is one trip to the well too far.
With Paranormal regular Gregory Plotkin is directing this one, working from a script by Jason Pagan, Andrew Deutschman, Adam Robitel and Gavin Heffernan, and it’ll be with us on October 23.
