Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones

Although bearing the Paranormal Activity series name, this is more of a spinoff than a sequel (PA 5 is coming later this year). Also featuring 'found footage', it is set in a Californian Latino community, where a young man is designated for possession by the same malevolent demon from previous installments. Things get bad very quickly.

84 minutes.
No persons under 16 (Language, Violence, Horror).

Not currently showing on the local cinema circuit.

Out of sight.. out of mind.

Cape Times Justin Lowe Shaky footage returns, but Latino cast and lighter touch refresh occult franchise.	10
ScreenIt C. Fuchs If you're a fan of the series, you might enjoy or at least appreciate some of what's offered, but it's time to bury this franchise once and for all.	6

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer A change of setting breathes some new life into the franchise, but Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones fails to provide enough consistent thrills to justify a fifth film in the series.	8
