Frankly speaking, The Crazies is like a "Grindhouse" in action, an old school thriller, but filmed with a serious mien, without exaggerated nostalgia for the good old days, when the cinematograph was able to produce the thrills using the simple means. All this we watched millions of times already, this is the task of directing talent here - to impress the audience at the sight of the same in a one million and first time. And if the original version of "The Crazies" was to heavy on political satire and protest against the Vietnam War, a modern remake is already deprived of these options…

A Nightmare on Elm Street is intended not so much for the original fans of the franchise, but rather for a new generation of viewers. In this sense, Bauer worked for him delivered the order. Clear and in full accordance with the original estimates: simplified to the limit high art of the nightmares, which was so inventively scarecrow in earlier films.

Ariel Schulman is returning to direct the fourth sequel in line of Paranormal Activity movies. Filmed in 2012 for pennies (as always) Paranormal Activity 4 features the same actors in the same roles. Kathryn Newton portrays Alice while Katie Featherston plays Katie. A little boy named Robbie is played by Brady Allen (remember the kid from The Middle?) and Matt Shively (the voice of Sky from Winx Club franchise) stars as Alex. The story of Paranormal Activity 4 is quite predictable, and hinted from the previous movies. It follows the mystery of family disappeared in 2006 which, a story recorded by numerous of cameras installed all over the house, where, now, the other family must go thru their horror drama, and we have a chance to watch every frightening moment documented by both IP cameras and Skype videos. As it may be concluded the movie style and way of filming are not the subjects to change from one sequel to another, and there is a quite obvious and very pragmatic explanation of this fact; this is the one and only working business model the allows Paramount Pictures to keep churning out hundreds of millions dollars out of every low budget Paranormal Activity until the wheels fall off.

A tiny budget, the gloomy plot, outstanding box office, and bam - it is the classics of the genre. Paranormal Activity directed by debutant and filmed almost for nothing in his own house. No staging, no howls of music, almost any sudden movements. Nobody scares you, but it's scary to tingling. You are afraid not of the Paranormal Activity, but of own fears. You are afraid to be frightened, and this is even worse. You are afraid your thoughts that suddenly comes into your head at the sight of a man, just looking at the other and sleeping. As a result, you are afraid of yourself.
