Oren Peli’s seminal low-budget, found-footage horror movie Paranormal Activity is now available to stream on Tubi. The movie, about a couple who use home video cameras to capture increasing paranormal activity in their new suburban home, joined the free streaming service on September 1st alongside the franchise’s fifth installment, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones. Getting its start back in 2007, the Paranormal Activity franchise remains one of the most iconic in horror and is known for its terrifying scares. Although only the first and fifth installments are available on Tubi, viewers can stream the remainder of the franchise on Paramount+, including the best sequel in the franchise, Paranormal Activity 3.
Why You Should Watch Paranormal Activity
Made using a single home video camera and practical effects, Paranormal Activity remains a masterclass in horror and suspense building. The movie centers itself on relatable characters and a relatable setting and takes a less-is-more approach to scares, relying on unseen threats through movements, creaks, and other noises at night to transform the safety of a home into a terrifyingly unsafe space. The slow-burn suspense and gradual loss of control experienced by the characters will send chills down the spines of even the bravest viewers, and remain just as haunting after multiple rewatches.
