A parapsychologist is trapped inside a haunted movie theater with zombies. Obscure SOV, first time ever on Blu-ray.

Something is haunting the Englewood movie theater - an unseen force that comes alive after dark. Paranormal investigator Kyle Jennings is called in, but the moment he steps inside, the nightmare begins. The theater seals itself shut, the screen tears open like a doorway, and the low budget zombie movie playing suddenly becomes real. With the undead spilling into the aisles, Kyle must uncover the source of the disturbance before the entire theater becomes a feeding ground, and the only clues may be trapped inside the film itself.

First time ever on disc following its initial 1998 VHS release.

Long overlooked and scarcely distributed, Todd Norris' The Paranormal is one of the great 'lost' achievements of the SOV era. Smart, sharply structured, and performed with an unexpected level of polish, it pushes well beyond the scrappy expectations of its budget. Norris brings a true filmmaker's eye to every frame, blending genre thrills with a clear affection for the moviegoing experience itself. For fans who think they've seen every corner of the Shot-on-Video landscape, The Paranormal is a revelation, and proof that the video format was capable of far more than it was ever given credit for.
