There aren't many horror film franchises that have made quite as much of an impact as Paranormal Activity. Since its initial release in 2007 at a variety of film festivals, it has often been touted to be the scariest series of all time. A fact with which I humbly disagree. While full of startling "BOO!" moments, it has always lacked the overarching creepiness that has a tendency to linger more that outright shock. Set five years after the end of PA3 we are reunited with young Hunter and his aunt, Katie, who was last seen taking the child from the arms of his dead mother. They move into a house across the street from what we are assured is a normal suburban American family before chaos ensues.

Paranormal Activity 4: Paranormaler was the title I would have gone with, but I digress.  The Paranormal Activity franchise is The Blair Witch Project for a new generation. Filled with scream out-loud moments it has been one of the few horror series of late to shy away from blatant (and cheap) thrills from gore and instead has increased the chill factor through the slow burn approach. Paranormal Activity 4 hits Australian cinemas from the 18th of October 2012. Check out the all new trailer after the jump. PS: children are creepy!
