Director: Christopher Landon
Starring: Andrew Jacobs, Jorge Diaz, Gabrielle Walsh
My Rating: Didn't like it
Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones isn't a horrible watch, but it convolutes the on-going "story" of the series. It's fairly entertaining, but all of the scares and happenings are completely derivative of the past four films and other paranormal/scary movies. What makes The Marked Ones semi-watchable is the different locale and a good, action packed 5-10 minute finale. What makes it ridiculous is its attempt at the very end at tying this movie and all of the other ones together with ... time travel. Yep.
The on-going story is so thin to the point that trying to tie it all up is pointless. I think the series would be fresher if it ditched that story and created a completely new one each movie. And there will be more. Paranormal Activity is a cash cow, and I don't see that stopping anytime soon.
