Paranormal Activity 3

We know that Paranormal Activity 3 is being produced by Paramount Pictures and Blumhouse Productions. Distribution Would be done by Paramount Pictures.

Producer Jason Blum has indeed chosen a niche for him in film making, which is nothing but the Horror Genre. He has found the key to profit making from low budget yet movies with outstanding quality. All his movies are Original Ideas and that has what been selling the movies. He has reaffirmed that he is truly satisfied in hiring the catfish directors. Jason belives that the catfish directors will be able to sell the idea to the audience that the footage is real.

Jason also stated that the movie Area 51 which has been delayed due to the filming of the paranormal series, would be released towards the end of 2011. I believe they have already sold the idea to a lot of people out there that the footages are real.

Take Shelter

Take Shelter is a 2011 drama film starring Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain. Plagued by a series of apocalyptic visions, a young husband and father questions whether to shelter his family from a coming storm, or from himself.

Movie Synopsis
Curtis LaForche lives in a small Ohio town with his wife Samantha and six-year-old daughter Hannah, who is deaf. Curtis makes a modest living as a crew chief for a sand-mining company. Samantha is a stay-at-home mother and part-time seamstress who supplements their income by selling handmade wares at the flea market each weekend. Money is tight, and navigating Hannah’s healthcare and special needs education is a constant struggle. Despite that, Curtis and Samantha are very much in love and their family is a happy one. Then Curtis begins having terrifying dreams about an encroaching, apocalyptic storm. He chooses to keep the disturbance to himself, channeling his anxiety into the obsessive building of a storm shelter in their backyard. His seemingly inexplicable behavior concerns and confounds Samantha, and provokes intolerance among co-workers, friends and neighbors. But the resulting strain on his marriage and tension within the community doesn’t compare to Curtis’ private fear of what his dreams may truly signify. Faced with the proposition that his disturbing visions signal disaster of one kind or another, Curtis confides in Samantha, testing the power of their bond against the highest possible stakes.

Red State

Red State is a 2011 American independent horror film written and directed by Kevin Smith with characters inspired by types of fundamentalist religious organizations. The film stars Michael Parks, John Goodman, Melissa Leo and Stephen Root. Also co-stars Ralph Garman, Kevin Pollak, Kerry Bishe, Haley Ramm, Kevin Alejandro, Anna Gunn, Michael Angarano and Nicholas Braun.

For months, Smith promised that the rights to the film would be auctioned off to a distributor at a controversial event to be held after its premiere at the Sundance film festival, but instead Smith purchased the film himself which, according to analysts, "might have been a difficult sale for any distributor."Smith plans to self-distribute the picture under the "Smodcast Pictures" banner with a traveling show in select cities, before officially releasing the movie on October 19, 2011. Kevin Smith listed Mel Gibson as his inspiration for how he planned to distribute this movie, citing Gibson's The Passion of the Christ as an example of a successfully self-distributed movie.

Movie Synopsis
Three teenagers come across an online personal advertisement from an older woman looking for kinky group sex. But what begins as a fantasy takes a dark turn as they come face-to-face with a terrifying fundamentalist force with a fatal agenda
