What happens

Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin is a 2021 American supernatural horror film directed by William Eubank, written by Christopher Landon, and produced by Jason Blum and series creator Oren Peli. Serving as a reboot and the seventh 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 returning as producers. Landon was hired to write the script in early 2020, with Eubank set to direct 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. The film received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed $81,596 in home sales. In December 2025, it was announced that an eighth film was in development, and is scheduled to be released in May 2027. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
