TV Trailer: ‘The River,’ From ‘Paranormal Activity’ Creator Oren Peli

The faux-documentary/‘found footage’ aesthetic that Oren Peli has cultivated is put to good use here — I like it applied to TV rather than a movie. Granted, the trailer shows a lot of tricks that will be familiar to anyone who has seen one of the Paranormal Activity films, or any of the many similar movies that exist. But The River looks like it might have a scare or two in store, and if the characters and background story build to anything good, this one could have a couple seasons in it.
Bruce Greenwood, Joe Anderson, Paul Blackthorne, Paulina Gaitan, Leslie Hope, Eloise Mumford, Shaun Parkes, Thomas Kretschmann and Daniel Zacapa star.
And here’s a clip from the show:
