It looks like Paranormal activity has become large enough to have its own spin off! I am a fan of the movies but does it really need a spin off?!
What other movie series have had spin offs? I can't really think of any.

So have the X men films regarding Wolverine
Hmm yeah I would say puss and boots is a spin off, but I just can't help but disagree with the wolverine one
I know its from xmen, but I just feel Wolverine could have been a movie without xmen anyway... If that makes sense?
Hell the first 3 grossed 100 million each in the US, but the 4th fell by 50% and grossed 50 million.
Not a great sign for future installments
Why would you want them to flop?
I didn't like the first one so I've not watched any of the others. Makes no difference to me wether they make another but obviously some people enjoy them.
I suppose some of the American Pie films are spin offs.
A lot of films are just lazy attached films were the main actors don't appear again ?
I haven't seen Paranormal Activity, as it strikes me as a film that is only scary if you sit next to someone in a Cinema who would jump at the sound of anything.
I like horror films to at least have a monster/ghost make an appearance. That's why Cloverfield was better than I thought it would be.
And a general resurgence of haunted house horror - Insidious, Sinister, Ths Conjuring.
And saying 'found footage' is terrible is a bit sweeping. Yes, recently there's been a slew of bad examples but there have also been some very good ones - and found footage didn't start with PA.
But it's nice to see ghosts. entity's etc become a focus point on loads of films lately, because i love ghost films.
And Insidious was in development before PA came along, The Conjuring came from the creators of Insidious...
Personally I really like PA films, although I really didn't like the last one.
Blair witch is easily the best found footage movie of all time, I recently watch Blair witch 2 again on netflix. Thats a decent film also.
But the horror genre was in decline before PA. The films themselves may be terrible but their success contributed to the success of the films that followed.
I was reading about the new spin-off movie earlier. Sounds quite interesting http://buzzsauce.co.uk/film/two-paranormal-activity-films-to-be-released-in-2014/
I've never understood why anyone would say such a thing.
Granted, you don't like the PA franchise & that is your prerogative, but to hope that they flop so that no more are made is bizarre in the extreme.
Nobody is forced to watch anything they don't like & the existence of the PA franchise doesn't stop other films that you might like being made, so I don't get your problem.
What a crazy thing to say. It's like hoping a burger shop closes down because you don't like burgers, or a guitar shop closes down because you don't like/can't play guitars.
I won't go and see the movie (PA:TMO) at the Cinema although I will probably get it when it comes on BluRay.
My thoughts exactly... There are a lot of movies I really don't like after watching it and even movies I just don't like the look of but I don't exactly hate them to the point where I want them to flop...
Anyway, this Paranormal activity the marked ones is pretty good. Its probably my 2nd Fav PA movie.
