‘Paranormal Activity 4′ Release Date Set

COMMENTS (9)

• “Halloween 3″ in 3-D? Cute idea, but hardly a new or original one. 30 years ago, the last time the studios tried to bring back 3-D, the third entries in the “Jaws” and “Friday the 13th” franchises were both filmed in 3-D with very impressive results, particularly the latter, which grossed a fortune on a $4-million budget (quite generous for a slasher movie). Even TV stations got into the act by telecasting ’50s hits (“Hondo” & “Gorilla at Large”) in 3-D (the viewer needed glasses, and the results were better than you may have expected). I was hoping the fad would once again catch on, but when Columbia had a packed all-media screening (for critics & industry folks) at the huge Loews State theater on Times Square of “Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone” (with Peter Strauss & Molly Ringwald and a $14-mil budget), the movie–and the 3-D effects–were so atrocious that the audience began stampeding for the exits long before this monstrosity ran its 90-minute course. The movie was a boxoffice bomb, bringing the 3-D revival that began with such promise to a quick, premature end.

  • Uh, no. Friday the 13th in 3-D is embarrassingly bad – people constantly reaching towards the camera for no good reason kind of bad. One eyeball squishes at the camera – but it’s ridiculous. This appears to be a blog post that somehow ended up here.

• Does anyone know, is this like the most profitable franchise ever? These are made for pennies and print gold. Sheesh!

• Either someone can’t spell properly or they have webbed hands. Listen up. These writers and directors tell children it’s fake. Or that these kind of things doesn’t exist. Keep your mouth shut and your sad dyslexic opinions to your self.
