The Fantasy Review‘s beginner’s guide to the Paranormal Activity Franchise.
Overview
The Paranormal Activity franchise is a series of found-footage horror movies with plenty of paranomal jump-scares! The movies have a documentary-style production and build the tension gradually through slow-burn narratives.
Which Movies to Watch First
I watched Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) first, when I didn’t know any better, but I wish I had stuck to watching the movies in release date order. They all link together really well and I think this is the best order to watch them in.
Movies (Release Date Order)
- Paranormal Activity (2009)
- Paranormal Activity 2 (2010)
- Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)
- Paranormal Activity 4 (2012)
- Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (2014)
- Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension (2015)
