Hot off the success of Paranormal Activity, but before that innovative horror movie would spawn its own franchise, writer-director Oren Peli made another movie that used found footage and a cast of unknowns to put a new spin on an old source of scares.
It was called Area 51, and nobody has seen a thing from it since people first learned Peli was making it way back in 2009.
So where has it been for six years?
According to a few sources, Peli has been tinkering with it here and there, along with his Paranormal Activity producer Jason Blum. But we'll soon finally find out what else Peli has in store for us, as Area 51 (his only other movie as a director) is about to finally see the light of day.
Blumhouse and Paramount Insurge will be putting Area 51 on VOD and in Alamo Drafthouse theaters starting May 15, 2015. And to prove the movie actually exists, you can finally see a trailer for it. The found footage side is of course there and familiar, but the breaking-into-Area 51 plot looks like it could make for some pretty intense moments.
Watch the trailer below and let us know what you think.
