Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones
Movie review
Director: Oren Peli
Starring: Andrew Jacobs, Eddie J. Fernandez, Molly Ephraim, Richard Cabral, Crystal Santos, Chloe Csengery, Jorge Diaz
Why is the lead character is always using a camera? The characters in this film are Latino and this is a complete switch from using white people in the lead for this sequel. The characters are young and just graduated high school. There are many youth oriented jokes and weak sex scenes for the audience geared towards this film.
The plot is a common one for this new movie.
Someone gets “marked†and the fun begins for a movie that is suppose to scare you or keep your attention.
The actors do their best keep in character and make their characters believable. We are given a group of very talented Latino young cast members.
Aside from elements from other films that have been rehashed into this entry, “The Marked One’s†offers nothing you haven’t seen in the other installments. It’s slowly paced and features the same cheap scares that you’ve come to expect from the franchise and you’ve seen more than a dozen horror films, than you’ve seen everything that this film has to offer.
The ending was not surprising because it is the same old plot ending technique used before in this type of film. Why would the character keep using a camera when his life is in danger? That was funny watching the character use the camera until the end.
Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones is not that much fun as far as plot but the actors try to make you believe that this is real and that this could happen to young kids living in the city.
