Honestly, I found the entire scenario much more horrifying when some unseeable demon was tormenting victims for what appeared to be his own pleasure, and this is probably why Paranormal Activity is still my favorite franchise entry to this day. ![]() In Paranormal Activity 4, we’re exposed to a full coven of witches, Hunter, a fully demonized Katie, and a large network of women embracing Katie’s cult. Being a fair reviewer, I won’t divulge how Landon expands upon existing mythology, but I will comment on what’s been done to this point. ![]() With all that said, I’m still not 100% sold on where the Paranormal Activity franchise is heading story wise. The Marked Ones keeps the screams flowing with a vibrant and shocking delivery, getting back to in-your-face, twisted, evil horror that quadruples your heart rate while the camera steadily focuses down a pitch black hallway – causing you to clench the nearest person in a fit of paranoid hysteria. Landon delivers jolting scares, tension-filled chills, and true moments of blood-curdling terror while avoiding lackadaisical cheapness that typically sinks such genre films. You’ll jump, squirm, and scream bloody murder – and have a blast doing so. Moment of truth – do we have a reason to be excited about Peli’s franchise again? I’m happy to report that Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones starts 2014 off with a horrifying bang! Yes, The Marked Ones is the best Paranormal Activity since Oren Peli’s original, getting back to the hardcore scares that turned so many horror fans into momentary insomniacs.

Staring directly into the unknown, Jesse and his crew embark on a dark journey no one is prepared for, but with a young boy’s fate in jeopardy, there’s no giving up on the selected individual – even if he appears to have gained a new “guardian” of some kind. Expanding upon the Paranormal Activity universe, Landon introduces us to Jesse (Andrew Jacobs), a high school graduate who encounters evil forces and becomes what is known as “marked.” Noticing a suspicious bite on his forearm, Jesse and his friends attempt to unravel the mystery behind his new “powers,” the rituals being performed below his apartment, and the increasingly terrifying events plaguing everyone he knows.
