Teaser Trailer: Paramount’s “Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin”
The next installment of the fan-favorite horror franchise, Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin, will release next month and Paramount+ recently released a teaser trailer for the movie.
Next of Kin is the seventh entry in the Paranormal Activity continuity, which first hit theaters back in 2007, and is, in fact, the first new iteration since 2015. Genre fans initially flocked to the series, as it represented something new in horror, but as the sequels continued to roll out, they were met with more and more disinterest and critics began to label them as derivative.
Even so, Paramount clearly has hopes that the new edition can revitalize the property, as they have assembled a quality cast that includes Dan Lippert, Emily Bader, Roland Buck III, and Henry Ayers-Brown. The film follows a plot that sees Bader’s character returning to the Amish community that she ran from as a child.
William Eubank directs from a script by Christopher Landon and Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin will forego a theatrical release in favor of debuting exclusively on Paramount+ when it on October 29th.
