The 2009 film directed by Oren Peli about a couple living in a haunted home has already spawned two sequels, with at least one more to come. DreamWorks Pictures bought the film and suggested remaking it with a bigger budget, but Peli and Miramax Films senior executive Jason Blum, who had been working with Peli on the film, said that was fine, but asked that a test screening of the original film happen first. During the screening, people walked out, and DreamWorks executive Adam Goodman was afraid they hated the film until he realized they were walking out because they found the film too scary. Plans to reshoot the film were scrapped.
