action
Jesse learns that the elderly lady who lives below him was murdered. After the police and paramedics have withdrawn, he enters the dead woman's apartment, accompanied by friends, as he is curious about the reason for the murder. However, the young people quickly realize that the lady's life is obviously much more interesting than her death: Her apartment is full of unusual, occult objects and ominous video cassettes. However, Jesse even finds a photo of himself. The following night he had nightmares and to his great surprise he woke up in the morning with a bite wound on his arm. Something must have happened to him, but he has no explanation for it. After further puzzling changes, Jesse's relatives worry more and more and seek advice from Ali, who had an encounter with evil as a child.
background
The film was announced in April 2012 when a so-called post-credit scene at the end of the credits of Paranormal Activity 4 , which was only seen in the theatrical version, left room for a sequel. Christopher B. Landon, author of the screenplay for Disturbia (2007) and the second to fourth films in the Paranormal Activity series, prepared the screenplay for the film, which is also described as a “ cousin ” to its predecessors, so none To continue or remake , write and direct. The film is also based on the so-called " found footage " format (dt .: found recording ).
Filming was completed in late July 2013. The release date for the USA was moved from October 25, 2013 to January 3, 2014 due to the longer and more complex post-production of the film. On the opening weekend in the United States, the film raised a total of $ 18.3 million from over 2,800 theaters. As of January 19, 2014, the film grossed over $ 75 million worldwide.
In Germany, the film started the day before its premiere in the USA, on January 2, 2014.
criticism
The film received mixed to negative reviews. With Rotten Tomatoes , the film only achieved a below-average 39 percent with 82 reviews and 34 percent with viewers. Metacritic gives a score of 42, which corresponds to a mixed assessment.
“The idea of an offshoot of the horror hocus-pocus especially for the Hispano-American target group initially seemed like a pure marketing trick. But instead of a dreary Latino copy, Christopher Landon presents us with 'Paranormal Activity: The Drawn', a fresh and quite humorous horror thriller. "
continuation
A sequel to the first four films started on October 22, 2015 in Germany ( Paranormal Activity: Ghost Dimension ) . Directed by Gregory Plotkin. In terms of content, the film will not border on Paranormal Activity: Those who have been drawn .
