Oh & lets not forget full demonic stuffвЂ¦ДЄs you can tell I was really let down by this movie, I wanted to be creeped out, I wanted to suspend reality for an hour & a half & just roll with the scares but I couldnвЂ™t. What happened to the subtly of these movies? What happened to the slow build leading to a payoff? Instead what we have here is Jesse pulling black thread out of his eyes, throwing thugs around like superman & torturing dogs in broad daylight.Д«y time you reach the climax we have witches being killed with shotguns & a chase through a house that just ends in one of the most unnecessary tie-ins.

Forget the sinister & creepiness of the symbol being painted on her bodyвЂ¦here are tits!ДЇor every moment (the church/toilet section) that has tension & expectation there are 2 or 3 that just let you down with just how obvious they are & how in your face they are. The first real mis-step comes with the camera down the vent scene that foolishly distracts you with full-frontal nudity. ItвЂ™s mostly well-acted & the relationship between Jesse & Hector is believable & sincere.

ItвЂ™s a frustrating watch because there are moments of creepiness that really impress early on before the latter half of the movie forgets subtly & tries to beat you over the head with itвЂ™s вЂjump scaresвЂ™. If youвЂ™ve seen any of the Paranormal Activity movies before you know how this ends alreadyвЂ¦ However as his personality changes & he gets more violent his friends realise that something is seriously wrong & that if he doesnвЂ™t get help soon it may be too late for all of them. After fighting off 2 thugs he begins to believe he has super-human abilities & is being protected. The next day Jesse finds a bite-mark on his arm & his lovable dog reacts differently to him. So naturally they decide to try this out with a friend, Marisol.ДЄfter some spooky goings-on they go home. They also read about doorways through time that you can step into evil & unholy locations. The 2 boys explore AnnaвЂ™s apartment & discover symbols on the walls, black magic spells, a photo of Jesse & video tapes that link into the earlier movies. Fearing being caught they pull the camera up & later that night Anna is murdered by another student from their school, Oscar who is seen fleeing the scene. After hearing moans & screams one evening they lower the camera down through a vent to the apartment below & see naked Anna painting symbols across another naked girlвЂ™s body. It is with this camera they chose to spy on their downstairs neighbour Anna who is a bit of reclusive & suspected of being a witch. Jesse & Hector are best friends having recently graduated & spend their days messing around with a video camera they recently bought. So the story is set in a small Hispanic community surrounding a bustling apartment complex.

That being said there is something compelling about wanting to be scared & that is why I wandered back towards the Paranormal Activity light & settled down to watch The Marked Ones. What was smart & genuinely creepy has become a parody of itself which can be seen by its online user & critic ratings. Combine that with the found-footage fad of a few years back & that is Paranormal Activity in a nutshell. The current trend in horror seems to be ghostly-goings-on & possessions. For me, a movie made up of jump scares is lazy & it gets extremely tiresome. I stayed away from the next 2 movies because I got tired of jump scares. If you want to see Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones before anyone else, keep up with the film on facebook.I havenвЂ™t watched a Paranormal Activity since the first 2 both of which were enjoyable but lacked a lot of what I enjoy in horror. So I suspect this hunt will be Paranormal Activity's next incarnation of competition-based viral marketing. Paramount promised to bring the film to the top 25 cities to declare their want ahead of its October 19th release.

By using a 'Want it' app, fans of the freaky film series were able to mark their location on a map that was tallying interest across the United States. Last year, Paranormal Activity 4 used a ploy on Facebook to arouse fan fervor. The franchise's prior films were typically played ahead of time to eager audiences whose recorded reactions-from screaming to leaping out of their seats-became a major part of the movie's marketing.

But to what end? My guess is this is the beginnings of a contest to get cities/moviegoers to bid for Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones opening in their town ahead of its release. Instead it seems to be setting up an online scavenger hunt of some sort. The final title card asks you to 'Join the hunt on December 6th.' As Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones doesn't open until next year, it's not the film's release this clip is teasing.
