Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin

Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin is a 2021 American found footage supernatural horror film directed by William Eubank, written by Christopher Landon, and produced by Jason Blum and Oren Peli. Serving as the seventh installment of the Paranormal Activity series, the film stars Emily Bader, Roland Buck III, Dan Lippert, Henry Ayres-Brown, and Tom Nowicki, and follows a group who attempt to make a documentary on an Amish community, only for them to discover the horrific secrets the town holds. Although Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension was promoted as the final installment in the original series, Paramount Pictures announced in June 2019 that a seventh installment and stand-alone sequel was in development, with Blum and franchise creator Peli. Landon was hired to write the script in early 2020, while Eubank was put as film's director in February 2021. Principal photography was wrapped by July 2021. Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin was released in the United States on Paramount+ on October 29, 2021. It received negative reviews from critics, with a further sequel, subtitled The Other Side, in active development.
