The folks at HollywoodReporter.com announced today that Paramount Pictures is looking to produce a sequel to its supernatural hit Paranormal Activity. Shot for $15 thousand by first-time director Oren Peli, Activity has already scared up $85 million domestically. Can the studio summon similar interests in a sequel? Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman seems to think so. He states:

Our team will come up with the right creative and marketing approach to make sure that we benefit from a sequel.

You know what would benefit me? Getting rid of hand-held horror. Paranormal Activity features a likable and talented cast (newcomers Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat), a scary/fun story, and some of the most creepy images committed to film. But, all that shaky-cam action makes me want to puke. I know the film aims to create a real-time vibe for its audience, but is it really necessary to jerk the camera during every frame? I have starred in many of my family’s home videos and not once have they looked like they were shot by a Parkinson’s patient. Am I alone on this?

The Top 5 List of hand-held horror flicks that made me physically ill:

5. District 9

Aliens come down to earth and get treated like black people. Smart and action packed. I was sick an hour in.

4. Seventh Moon

This flick has Amy Smart, engaging folklore , creepy zombies, an exotic location (China) and … Amy Smart! Unfortunately for me, it’s directed by Eduardo Sanchez, aka Mr. Blair Witch.

3. Cloverfield

Interesting concept. Flashy effects. Brilliant poster. Produced by J.J. Abrams (Lost). I got sick 30 minutes in.

2. The Blair Witch Project

Groundbreaking marketing campaign. Believable actors. Super creepy scenes. I loved the story. Vomited in parking lot immediately after.

1. Paranormal Activity

When the camera is on the tripod in the bedroom, this movie is freaky good stuff. When it’s in Micah’s hands, it’s vertigo city.
