![]() Yes, they’re always inexplicably filming, but being the fifth film in the franchise, that’s to be expected. This adds a feeling of authenticity to the proceedings that was sorely missing from the last flick. They do things and behave the way that normal people would. Nothing feels forced, and our leads exhibit the best chemistry the series has seen since Katie and Micah. Sure, the actors in it are mainly Latino, but so what? At no time will you feel like the powers-that-be are pandering to a particular audience. If you’re thinking you should skip this one and just wait for 5, think again as Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones reaches an elevated height within the franchise by breaking some new ground… and then burying you alive and screaming in it.Īs for this so-called “Latino-themed” business, calling it that is a true disservice. Hell, this should have been the Paranormal Activity 4 that we never got. It fits with the series perfectly and in my opinion could have easily been called Paranormal Activity 5 and no one would have complained. It’s not a side story that ignores the previous films to go in its own direction. Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones is no spin-off. The odd thing? That announcement never should have been made the way that it was presented. Had the franchise that launched 1,000 nightmares run out of steam? It certainly seemed that way, and the announcement of a “ Latino-themed spin-off” didn’t exactly bode well either. But then Paranormal Activity 4 happened, and it neglected just about everything that made the first three films work in favor of a few cool ideas that never really came together and – even worse – did nothing to advance the story. Then Paranormal Activity 3 arrived and completely knocked it out of the park. Still, the sequel came, and it was surprisingly good. The first film exploded upon release, and it was not really meant to have a sequel. The Paranormal Activity franchise has been known to defy the odds.
