THE BUZZ: Sorry, but I fear the whole microbudget horror craze is going to bring down the genre's mainstream appeal. The latest case is this exorcism-themed project (yes, another) from the guys who turned Stay Alive into an indie hit for Disney's dark side back in 2006. Paramount has set up this project at their specialty/cheapie label, Insurge, so expect it to mimic your standard Paranormal Activity promotional campaign.
