Asylum Mockbuster Activity Conjures a Paranormal Entity
November 20th, 2009
Some of you have asked the question, "So where is The Asylum's mockbuster of Paranormal Activity?" To be fair, who expected a $15,000 home movie to become a $100 million dollar blockbuster? Never fear; when a blockbuster makes money, The Asylum smells money, and a mockbuster soon follows. They'll see your Paranormal Activity and raise you a Paranormal Entity.
Now this Asylum mockbuster must really be on the fast track because The Asylum hasn't even announced it on their own website yet, but it is already scheduled for a December 29th DVD release date. Quiet Earth appears to have broken the news about Paranormal Entity, complete with some admittedly neat looking artwork.
As for the plot:

After the unwatchable dreck that was The Asylum's Cloverfield mockbuster, Monster (review here), I'm not so sure I am ready for another piece of Asylum cinéma vérité, especially one that was clearly a last minute rush job. I do admit my curiosity as to whether or not it will visually look more or less costly than the original. And with "entity" in the title, will there be ghost rape?
Now I have a better question. Where is The Asylum's Twilight mockbuster? The world wants to see C. Thomas Howell sparkle!

Shield Writer Tapped for Fourth Underworld FilmThe Underworld franchise is pretty rare in that it actually has been getting better as it goes along. In fact, we'd call that a goddamn anomaly. With a fourth entry on the way, can the wheel keep rolling uphill?
I'm really good friends with the girl in this and she told me when she got the part there is a ghost rape.

I ain't going anywhere near this fucking thing. After seeing Monster, I can't bring myself to touch an Asylum movie ever again, especially a cinema verite one.

I agree with Foy. I wanna see "The Duskening" and "The Duskening Chapter 2: New Moon Rising"!

The people who run The Asylum should be beaten badly and often.

The funniest thing about this is that it will actually cost MORE than the original!

Maybe this movie could be more entertaining in his first
hour than the original, for the wrong reasons.
