SURPRISE!

Just a few weeks removed from Jason Blum’s claims of Area 51 news coming “very very soon”, we have ourselves a release date and debut trailer. I gotta say… I’m pretty surprised this is finally happening.

If you’re unfamiliar; Oren Peli is the father of the Paranormal Activity series. He is perhaps the only person in existence that has done as much for the Found Footage subgenre as Eduardo Sanchez, so it should come as no surprise that Area 51 keeps that format. Will it be worth the years and years of rumblings and rumors? Who knows, but you can definitely get your first look below.

Area 51 is set for VOD and limited theatrical release on May 15th. Stay tuned, as we will definitely be checking it out ourselves.

Witness a new vision of terror from director Oren Peli. Three young conspiracy theorists attempt to uncover the mysteries of Area 51, the government’s top secret location rumored to have hosted encounters with alien beings. What they find at this hidden facility exposes horrifying, unimaginable secrets. Now you can experience their harrowing adventure in this footage pieced together from documentation of these chilling events.
