However, she soon realizes that the community that first welcomed them with open arms might be hiding a very sinister secret.
In the exclusive clip below, Margot experiences a rather creepy moment with one of the young girls who lives in the Amish community and tells Margot that her supposedly vanished mother might still be near — and more than that, she doesn’t want Margot around very much either.Paranormal Activity: Next of Kinalso starsRoland Buck III(Better Call Saul),Dan Lippert(Superstore), andHenry Ayers-Brown(The Blacklist).

When Colliderspoke with producerJason Blum, he expanded on why the latest movie in theParanormal Activityfranchise will actually serve as a reboot, even though the script hails fromChristopher Landon(Happy Death Day,Freaky), who penned sequelsParanormal Activity 2throughParanormal Activity: The Marked Ones:
“Paramount wanted to continue Paranormal Activity, I probably would have left it alone. So they wanted to continue it, but I thought if they were gonna continue it, you gotta - it was tired, there was no way to continue the road that we’d been down.
So I really encouraged all the creative people involved to think of something new. A lot of people who are going to go see the new Paranormal Activity were 3 years old when the first Paranormal Activity came out, so they don’t even know from those older movies. I thought if you were going to re-do it, you better really re-do it, not try and expand what we did all those years ago."
Paranormal Activity: Next of Kinis directed byWilliam Eubankand written by Landon who also serves as executive producer alongsideSteven SchneiderandJenny Hinkey. Blum andOren Peliproduce.
