That scene might not be as noticeable in a better movie, but you take what you can get when you’re watching the fifth entry in a horror series that reached its spiritual expiration date three films ago. The camera’s positioning, lodged against the door to connote both the character’s desperation and the spatial entrapment of his current predicament, is a welcome instance of actual cinema, a moment in which the filmmakers appear to be telegraphing meanings and achieving effects deliberately with the good old-fashioned meat-and-potato fundamentals of mise-en-scène. 1/5.There’s exactly one moment in Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones that’s quietly unnerving: the image of a teenager crouched against a door, hiding from the possessed things in pursuit of him, shot from the ground because the camera he’s been carrying has been fleetingly discarded. but if you’re like the Gorehound and sick of this shit, pass it up. If PA2-4 provided any entertainment, PA5 should not disappoint….
The previous entries were straight up White suburbia. It took place in Hispanic neighborhood, which was a change. The grandma was entertaining, especially when she was singing and dancing. About some 2 best friends, a girlfriend, and their grandma. This one takes place in LA (not sure exactly but I know it aint Mexico) and tries to connect to the previous films through (1) a footage from PA1 and (2) and a unholy trap door which leads to PA1. How could the original director, Oren Peli, produce this pitiful unextended 86 minutes?

Katie is now a cult icon, among the ilk of Robert Englund and Tobin Bell, and can pop up in any horror movie now and receive immediate appeal. What’s worse is that they had the original characters, Micah Sloat and Katie Featherston, on set and put them in a complete throwaway scene. This movie did nothing to add to the canon and brought us characters we could care less about it.
Is the main character possessed? Are they related to the old withes? The worst part about these is that they are all the same: persons popping up as soon as the camera turns around, witches, and the incessent phrase “oh shit” every 15 minutes and sometimes every 30 seconds. Throughout PA2-PA4, confusion tends to increase during the last 15 minutes. So was PA5 (’14) anything different? No, it was not. Apparently in a different scenario but nonetheless, adhering to the canon. PA4 (’12) really put the last nail in the coffin… and then pops up this new release, PA4: The Marked Ones (’14). The previous films, PA2 and PA3, have gone too far astray and become much more complex than the original that there isn’t much hope. This one has some nubile teens who no one cares (especially this Gorehound) and the audience really doesn’t care at this point. Then comes along ANOTHER PA marking the fourth entry in 2012. This film was superior to PA2 (’10) but was still lacking in fright and quality, compared to PA1 (’07). Other than that, PA2 (’10) was a flop.Ĭome PA3 (’11) and there was some improvement. What the hell was going on? There was one distinct moment, when all the doors and cabinets had slammed open instantaneously. PA2 (’10) had very few scares and even left the Gorehound in a state of confusion at the climax. Unfortunately, the following films lacked. It seemed real, that these persons had actually taped this. The suspension in PA (’07) was so small and unique. Movies often have a suspension of disbelief, where the viewer knows that it is a movie, i.e., not reality and allows the viewer to become engrossed in the film. Thinking about for nights after leaving the theater, it left a mark on the repertoire. The Gorehound absolutely loved the original Paranormal Activity (’07).
