Oren Peli is on top of the horror world these days; PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2, the sequel to his vérité horror hit that he produced, has bucked the disappointing genre-box-office trend this year and crossed the $75-million mark this weekend, at the same time it was announced he’ll helm the Edgar Allan Poe-based ELIZA GRAVES for Sobini Films and Icon Productions.
Fourteen years strong, Helsinki’s Night Visions, the biggest and oldest genre film festival in Finland (six years older than the August-held Melies festival Espoo Ciné), keeps rolling out the hits with New York’s own Frank Henenlotter as this year’s headlining guest.
