Oren Peli

Today I learned: Oren Peli chooses his collaborators poorly

Here's an odd piece of trivia about recently released post-meltdown horror Chernobyl Diaries which, once you know it, feels more like a dirty secret. I'll try to explain. Not in this bit though, there's nowhere near enough room.

oooOOOooo Paranormal Activity 3 trailer - now with added kids!

Get ready to jump, jump, the Mac Dad will make you jump, jump, Daddy Mac will make you jump, jump, Kris Kross will make you jump, jump…after the jump.

Paranormal Activity 3 gets a green light (that'll be the night vision)

It's almost as if making a film for $300 that then goes on to make $5 gajillion makes good business sense?

Review: Paranormal Activity

What happens when you sleep? So asked Israeli-born filmmaker Oren Peli, who, after moving into a suburban San Diego tract house, discovered that odd, unsettling things began to occur in the house. Books inexplicably fell off of shelves. Strange noises were heard in the night... but whereas lesser mortals may have called in a priest or even a Ghostbuster, Peli thought that living in a spook house might make for a nice little horror flick.
