PA gave me the year’s biggest belly laugh when Latino gangbangers pulled Uzis and a sawed-off shotgun out of their trunk to go fight a coven of witches. It can be economic, as in, “We shot this on a shoestring budget, using hand-held cameras and practical special effects, so as to maximize profit.” And it’s often comical.
The latest Paranormal Activity can be demonic, as when possessed teenage lead Jesse (Andrew Jacobs) tortures the family dog by levitating him into thin air and pinning him to a bedroom ceiling. Isn’t that the only reason you’d bother seeing this? To be drawn to the edge of your seat in fear? It won’t happen.

It scrapes the bottom of the franchise’s barrel, begging found-footage audiences for a few extra dollars as it drives the final nail into the coffin of a series that should have died years ago. Despite what producers intended, The Marked Ones doesn’t expand the Paranormal Activity brand. Loyal fans who enjoyed the previous installments and the franchise in general will almost certainly have a scary good time with this one! … Expandĭespite what producers intended, The Marked Ones doesn’t expand the Paranormal Activity brand. While the scares aren't original by any means, more tension than I could 've ever imagined is built up in the final twenty minutes or so! As with the fourth film's ending, this film's ending not only scared the living hell out of me, but also surprised the living hell out of me and completely caught me off guard!!! Those who had questions left unanswered in any of the previous installments (yes, even the first film) will hopefully be satisfied with this film's ending, as it certainly solved several questions, but also left several new ones unanswered that will hopefully be answered in the upcoming official fifth film (this is a spinoff, mind you.) So overall, definitely a very fresh entry into a slowly dying franchise. The cast primarily consists of Latino actors and actresses, and they manage to pull off pretty decent (and often times humorous) performances. HUGE improvement over the previous third and fourth installments!!! This film ditches the highly cliche night after night camera setup in the living room and bedrooms- style, and instead focuses on the characters themselves and the actions they take in response to the paranormal events that HUGE improvement over the previous third and fourth installments!!!
