10 Film Franchises That Need To Be Stopped

9. Paranormal Activity Series

Paranormal Activity I've previously touched on the problems I've had with this series but the real issue is that every film is so bereft of originality that the films quickly started blending into one another. PA1 is the Blair Witch Project, PA2 is the the first film with a different family, PA3 is the first film in the 1980's and PA4 is the first and third film with product placement. The films are boring to watch and it genuinely baffles me as to how they are so successful at the box office. Every shot with a something happening is a wideshot, which makes it unclear what we're supposed to be watching. Then a frying pan falls or a door slams. They are predictable, formulaic and they need to be put out to pasture.
