You cannot reduce the impact "paranormal activity" of the proclaimed footage film. While there were many predecessors who made the horror of the subgenance feel a pure revolutionary such as "Blair's Witch Project" and "Cloverfield". Oren Pelly Flick's self -haunted house threw the doors when it comes to interest in the studio. Leave uncertain excitement and fever on the micro-budget that allowed him to make an incredible profit for Paramount. Everyone tried to regain magic with Different levels of success.

Peli will spend the following years producing franchisees "paranormal activity" and "insidious", while causing original idea for television with "Paranormal Activity 2" Co-writer Michael R. Perry. The result was the 2012 River series, a series of adventurous footage, which lasted only one season of ABC.

There were several examples of found footage that success on the small screen, such as "lost strips of Animal Planet", which mix the "real" strips of people who were attacked by mythological creatures and scientific figures trying to understand it. But the series produced by Peli-Per was dealing with a new narrative limit with the subgenerer.

The River follows an expedition to find Dr. Emet Cole (Bruce Greenwood), a remarkable television researcher who disappeared in Amazon in the middle of the search for "real magic". Emmet's wife, Tess (Leslie Hope) and son, Lincoln (Oeo Anderson), are only able to set up funding for the rescue operation to the Buesta River after a television network is made to document the trip. Needless to say, things do not go according to plan.

The trailer The "river" left the impression that it could be a surprise to the ABC average season. In addition to the "Paranormal Activity" links behind the scenes, Steven Spielberg as an executive producer in the series. The trailer has attracted enough interest to make people get involved in a series of 2 parts. It was even directed by anyone other than the director of "orphans" Umeumum Collette. But none of that helped in the long run.

The pilot started relatively okay with 7.59 million viewers. However, when the episode was rolling next week, however, she lost nearly 3 million of them. In the coming weeks, that number will become lower and lower. Interestingly, there was a short window before his cancellation, where the series almost had a rescuer in the form of Netflix because of his DVR numbers (via The deadline). But the "river" did not do as good as Then, then canceled by Fox Avatar meets the Jurassic Park series, "Terra New" in that department.

It also did not help the "Series" case that no one was singing high praise, with most reviews culminating in the same conclusion: it has a good idea trapped in the pursuit of silent. It is currently with 65 Metacrytic rating. "The two episodes are shown on Tuesday night, the mixture of" lost "storytelling and" paranormal "style is neither intriguing nor particularly frightening, and does not help that there is barely shine of humor," Mike Hale said in his review of Theujork Times.

The "River" was originally conceived as a film before it was outstretched to keep the expedition crew until they found Emmet, and it shows (through Bloody disgusting). It seemed as if you had the aspects of the location of the "lost" mystery that were kept by viewers on the edge of their places, But removed all the charm and the dynamics of character.

I remember setting up every week when the "river" was broadcast, and even in 8 episodes, my interest in supernatural bypasses of the series was moving thin with each passing week. It just didn't have enough intensity to invest out of the fact that I enjoyed the films found with footage and I wanted to see how it would be on television. The truth is that it is not.

Even when trying to imitate low quality shots, the "river" eventually looks too greasy and saturated to feel dangerous. The only project found for footage I've seen is approaching is "Lazel Strips", which occupies more format of anthology. /Ryan Scott's film had kinde words in his reviewBut I feel that even that play began to turn its wheels with the concept.

The "River" has its fans, with many disappointed that he left Clifancher in which his characters were swallowed by Amazon. I would claim that the end fits in accordance with the fatalist nature of the subgenre. By way of being Found Shots, it means that there is no happy ending of this trip.
