This is a primeAfter watching the 3rd installment to the series,and seeing all the people chasing the guy in the house, without knowing who they are and where they come from, made me utterly clueless. Luckily 2 films later, i now understand. This is a prime example of what this film does for the series, it answers questions, while developing new ones. Such as what happens next.
The film is typical paranormal activity with the build up, camera use of course, story. If you've watched all of the paranormal activities so far, don't give up on this one. For me at least, it helped me understand what happened in the previous ones more and gave me a different perspective on the series. For good of course.
This is definitely a film to be missed if you haven't watched the series, as it will seem a silly stupid movie

While The Marked Ones does have a few differences from the rest of the series, it’s still ultimately following the same path, so it’s unlikely to suddenly turn someone around who has disliked the entire thing. But if, like me, you’ve enjoyed the ongoing story about a bunch of really camera-obsessed people and the spooky things that haunt them, The Marked Ones is another enjoyable chapter. Expand

Now as of The Marked Ones it's really not that different from the first 4 films. If you've seen them then you know the routine...weird stuff and some jump scares. As for me I really enjoyed this one for a couple of reasons and here's why:

1) The Ending Now I won't give any spoilers but they do something pretty cool for the ending and if you've followed the first 3 films and actually payed attention to the story of The Marked Ones then you'll get it and maybe love it like I did.

2) More Lore Explanations Yes the Paranormal Activity films do have a very deep lore behind them, however most people ignore what the characters do and say in the film and just expect to see scary stuff to happen which is really why the movies get such a bad rep. All of those boring scenes are actually explaining what's going on and most people don't get that. The Marked Ones actually goes really in depth as to what is going on this time around and very much so as to why it's happening. More witchcraft :)

3) It's Not Meant To Be For Everyone Now let me emphasize how much I feel about this last one. These movies since the 3rd haven't been trying to gather new fans they are made for fans of these films and PA films. I love it how most people who are saying this movie is terrible even went to see it. Most people who didn't like this one didn't like 1-4 and I have a question: Why would you even see this one if you didn't like the first four in a franchise?

Now time for a conclusion:

Are these films great? No.

Are they cheesy? Hell yeah and great at it.

The franchise is meant to be a see it once and make a fun time out of it franchise. This is a fun to watch others be scared film. If that makes any sense The movie has great effects, goes deeper into the lore, and has a great ending. It's for the fans and has been since 3. The films acting was actually okay, I've seen a lot worse so this one was actually good, it actually wasn't too scary not anymore than the first 4. The story is great IMO, I think if the first half of the movie and the first 4 did crazy things like the ending of The Marked Ones does then they would be a lot better. Don't hype yourself too much for this movie it's not the best but is it good? Hell yes! (Most likely if you're a fan of the first 4) All in all if you pay attention and think about what's going on and being said you'll understand why the movie is worth 8/10 even if just for the ending. Most people love to mainstream the hate for this series also so...decide for yourself and enjoy what you enjoy

It was a fun movie, lots of laughs in the beginning, but it grows very dark as it progresses. If you are a fan of the franchise you will not be disappointed.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Saw it. Seriously liked and admired the direction of the movie. Explaining that Kristi and her family's story, while pivotal, is not isolated, but in fact part of a bigger plot effecting many people. One of the more interesting points of the marked ones was with the peripheral character Oscar. He, in a daze of clinging to the last of his humanity, tells the main character that they have both been marked, that "she put it in me... Like she put it in you." and most unsettlingly goes on to explain that "the only way to stop it is to kill yourself... Kill yourself before you hurt somebody you care about." which is what he proceeds to do himself. The way that Oscar's story was attached to the root plot of the marked ones I don't doubt seeing the rest of his story told in another movie from the beginning, upto his showdown with Anna, and most disturbing, what horrible things he must have done between killing her and killing himself, to make him give Jesse such a horrifyingly accurate warning of where their common possessions would lead if unchecked. I have always said that the paranormal activity movies offer much more individually as contributions to a very unique, original, and ambitious saga than they do as stand alone projects. Be that as it may, This film was loads of fun. Expand

If you are a fan of the franchise you will not be disappointed. Definitely a good time. Has its creepy moments, and even some comedic moments. More enjoyable with a group of friends.

DEFINITELY GIVE IT A TRY ENDING IS GREAT !
It may not be the scariest movie from the entire saga but it helps to understand more about the whole "Coven Witches" mythology, plus it brings new details about the way in which the "demons" from the entire saga work. If you want to get deeper into the whole Paranormal Activity universe, you must definitely watch this movie.
Actually it is way better than PA4, and even when it has been called a "spin off" it has way more to do with the entire plot than you would expect. The ending may be confusing for those whe haven´t seen the first movies but if you had, you will find it quite interesting and enlightening. It is fulled with easter eggs from the other movies, which personally I founded very interesting and fun.

Great movie! Lots of laughs and scares. I enjoyed the new take on the film franchise. This film doesn't contain much filming of people sleeping which was really refreshing. Cant wait for the next film!

I'm a huge fan of the Paranormal Activity movies and I got to say that this was actually the second best in the series. It showed that these movies had to do with something even bigger than just one family getting harrassed by a demon.I'm a huge fan of the Paranormal Activity movies and I got to say that this was actually the second best in the series. It showed that these movies had to do with something even bigger than just one family getting harrassed by a demon. Another reason why I think this is a great spinoff is by keeping the original story the same but adding elements that we didn't see before and using them as advantages. I can't wait for the next PA movie to come out and I hope they make more afterwards. Expand

HUGE improvement over the previous third and fourth installments!!! This film ditches the highly cliche night after night camera setup in the living room and bedrooms- style, and instead focuses on the characters themselves and the actionsHUGE improvement over the previous third and fourth installments!!! This film ditches the highly cliche night after night camera setup in the living room and bedrooms- style, and instead focuses on the characters themselves and the actions they take in response to the paranormal events that occur around them. The cast primarily consists of Latino actors and actresses, and they manage to pull off pretty decent (and often times humorous) performances. While the scares aren't original by any means, more tension than I could 've ever imagined is built up in the final twenty minutes or so! As with the fourth film's ending, this film's ending not only scared the living hell out of me, but also surprised the living hell out of me and completely caught me off guard!!! Those who had questions left unanswered in any of the previous installments (yes, even the first film) will hopefully be satisfied with this film's ending, as it certainly solved several questions, but also left several new ones unanswered that will hopefully be answered in the upcoming official fifth film (this is a spinoff, mind you.) So overall, definitely a very fresh entry into a slowly dying franchise. Loyal fans who enjoyed the previous installments and the franchise in general will almost certainly have a scary good time with this one! Expand

Sin duda es mejor que AP2 y 4, pese a que The Marked Ones tiene más humor que sustos, es mas divertida y rápida que las secuelas anteriores, pero el final me dejó algo confundido.
