The original Paranormal Activity, released in 2009, followed a young couple who installed cameras in their home to document a supernatural presence haunting them at night. Made on a modest budget, the found-footage horror film became a global box-office success, grossing about USD 194 million worldwide and helping revive interest in the found-footage horror genre after The Blair Witch Project, as per the outlet. Da Costa recently starred as Coley in Girls Like Girls, filmmaker and singer-songwriter Hayley Kiyoko's adaptation of her bestselling novel for Focus Features, which premiered in theatres on June 19. She will next appear in The Social Reckoning, Aaron Sorkin's sequel to The Social Network.
