A Guide To The Paranormal Activity Demon

Part of the mystique of the found-footage genre is not all information can be revealed. The audience is privy to only the information which happened to be captured on someone's home video. The problem with that method is it leaves a lot of questions unanswered. It isn't an all-knowing audience experience as some horror films are. Instead the audience is only exposed to what the characters are exposed to. This can lead to a ton of uncertainties that need to be sorted out, and the Paranormal Activity films are no exception.

So now it’s time for the all-important question of whether or not a fifth movie should be made?

Although there are more than enough unanswered questions to fill one or two more films, with the demon receiving what it was owed, there really is nowhere for the films to go into the future.

The one potentially interesting way to handle another film would be to make another prequel. It would be extremely cool to have a film set when the deal with the demon was originally made, but this is where the found footage style becomes a problem. It simply isn’t plausible to have a found footage movie set in 1930.

Although audiences likely still have many unanswered questions about the series, they may have to settle for being content with the mystery behind the Paranormal Activity demon.
