Paranormal Activity's Peli Enters Area 51

Source:L.A. Times
September 25, 2009


Responses to Paramount's Paranormal Activity midnight screenings are flooding the web. The consensus? Scary stuff.

That's great news for director Oren Peli, who was enlisted by Dreamworks at one time to do a remake. But those plans have been dissolved, thankfully, and in a recent article in the Los Angeles Times, it's been revealed Peli will next helm Area 51.

Peli will be at the helm of this "found footage" take on the secret location, that supposedly houses a UFO, as a group of folks try to break in. Production is said to be taking place in Utah.

The idea could be heavily steeped in sci-fi, or, Peli could develop something truly creepy here, as he had done in Paranormal Activity.

I'm loving all the early reviews for Paranormal Activity. Everyone is saying it's very scary...like scary since The Exorcist scary.

I'm not one to jump on the wagon and completely disregard "found footage" movies, 'cause some are genuinely creepy and scary.

I loved The Blair Witch Project and I'm sure I'll freakin' love Paranormal Activity and Area 51. This sounds good.

Saw a midnight screening last night in Chicago! This is no joke people! It is a creepy movie that will mess with you. It wasn't even so much about the scares, even though they do scare you. It is the feeling you get knowing you have to go home to a dark home. After watching this movie I had to turn on a light or two to make myself a little comfortable. The movie is done so well for such a low budget price that it gives me hope again for the horror genre. The only other horror movie I can say I truly enjoyed in the last 5 or 6 years is "Drag Me to Hell" and that is because Raimi is a master of scares! But Paranormal Activity really makes you feel like whatever happened in the movie could happen to you. I have been such a tough critic (Like my opinion really matters anyways) in the horror genre that it is so great to see a movie made by a no-namer director or cast that scares the crap out of people more than a multi-million dollar movie has. To summarize the based outline of the movie... If you like "The Exorcist" and the "Blair Witch Project" then you will love this because it ties them together in a very realistic way. DEMAND THE MOVIE ON THE OFFICIAL MOVIE WEBSITE!!
