Watch Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones For Free

It is a performances centric movie

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It's a good horror movie.. Better than some horror movies that I've watched. Some parts were amazingly scary and great. Other parts are okay. I find myself stopping and touching my face especially in the latter. I found the first 20 like minutes to be scarier at first but then it caught up in the middle and I didn't find the scares overexaggerated like The Haunting in Connecticut which I just watched yesterday... that was HORRIBLE and the plot build up was too sudden and random!! We didn't even know why things were happening in that movie anymore! It's like it tried to incorporate a lot of themes or concepts but failed! I feel like this kind of horror film is one of the scariest because it's captures more the audience because of the more realistic feel of the actor's camera.. although sometimes it feels ridiculous to be holding a camera in most of the situations in this movie.. but it's film making and entertainment! >_< *written yesterday, 2015-12-04

When I went to watch this movie, I didn't really had much expectations about this. The first half of this movie may seem boring to some. But after that there's a hell of a ride. I was just awestruck about the making of this movie, everything looked so real. It's hard to imagine how it is directed. This movie doesn't target it's audience to jump out of their seats often, but to make them just freeze like ice due to sheer terror. I would have given it a perfect 10 rating if this movie's characters have spoken just a bit slower. But like all the PA movies, this also have an ending that makes you say, "Oh God". After this movie, I surely am going to watch the next sequel. I hope they are even better.

Love it or (more often) hate it, there's no disputing the fact that (along with the 'Saw' franchise, which is arguably more slasher/torture-porn), and despite the fact that it owes an awful lot to 'The Blair Witch Project' (1999) in its found-footage conceit, the 'Paranormal Activity' horror franchise has defined horror since the first one back in 2007. Since the major success of the first movie each subsequent sequel up to 'Paranormal Activity 4' has enlarged its internal universe with story lines following on from the events of the first movie as well as, more impressively, story lines which both flesh out a surprisingly cohesive and eerie back-story.'Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones' breaks a little with this tradition. Instead, describing itself as a "cousin" to the first four movies, this film takes a sideways step from the events surrounding the family of Katie and Kristi and chooses to change its setting to a socially deprived Hispanic community. The found-footage conceit is still in place but the change of setting is refreshing and yet loses nothing of the chill factor as we watch three friends become embroiled in these dark machinations: one of whom, Jessie, is a "marked one" and whose personal transformation we follow.So…is it scary? Umm, well, in bits. The main hallmark of the franchise is the quiet-quiet-quiet-LOUD jump-scare. Something which infuriates many in its predictability but which nonetheless remains effective…something like the Big Mac of horror movie scare-tactics. And for better or for worse, these remain in place. However, I found the overall atmosphere of the first thirty or forty minutes actually quite creepy. However, this tension dropped off considerably after this point so that by the time the climax at the creepy house from 'Paranormal Activity 3' (my favourite of the franchise) there was little left.Still, this is not to say that I was bored. I just wasn't scared.Overall, I think it is an interesting installment of the continued 'Paranormal Activity' experiment, one which goes a long way to unlocking the events that preceded it and also one which lays groundwork which continued installments can build upon. However, herein lies the failing: I think the movie would offer very little to a viewer not familiar with the previous films…while for those who have seen the previous films, things just seem very, very familiar.

Before I start my review of the Marked One's, let me give you a quick review of mine on the previous Paranormal Activity movies.Paranormal Activity: Good. Paranormal Activity 2: Loved it, perhaps the only logical and smartest characters in the franchise. Paranormal Activity 3: It was okay. Paranormal Activity 4: Meh...Now what do I think about the Marked One's? THIS MOVIES IS A**! I will give props to the acting because these people do look like they're giving it their all.But the whole movie is filled with predictable scares that we have seen in the previous Paranormal Activity movies. Nothing is absolutely new, all the elements and scares are being recycled.I do like the setting where this movie is taking place. Sort of like the hood/ghetto, where a couple of gangs hang out.The characters in this movie are absolutely dumb, by far the dumbest in the series. For example, Jess's down stare neighbor got murdered and his idea is to go down there with his best friend and investigate what happened, and to find "clues." You know what they do when they're down there? They touch everything that is in the crime scene, they are literally printing their fingerprints! Bunch of idiots! Also, they meet these two girls and they decide to do a little "business" with them at Jess's apartment. But his grandma is at the front of the door and they can't get pass her. So what do they do? Do they go back to the car and "do it" there or do they go to one of the ladies house. NO! They decide to use the apartment where the lady got murdered!Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones isn't even scary. It's filled with a lot of clichés with dumb characters.2/10
