Another instalment of the widely successful 'found footage' horror franchise. This time, we follow a young Latin American, Jessie (Andrew Jacobs), who begins experiencing a number of disturbing and unexplainable things after the death of his neighbour. Quick to investigate, it isn't long before Jessie finds he's been marked for possession by a malevolent demonic entity, and it's only a matter of time before he is completely under its control.

If you've seen any installment of the series, it doesn't matter which one, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones won't upset you that much. It's a pleasant addition that doesn't compromise on quality, and I must say I enjoyed it similarly to the third installment. The fourth film just recycled the entire series, but this spin-off with different characters managed to be quite engaging. Thanks to it, I think the series still has something to offer.

If anything, this sequel isn’t boring, unlike the previous one. The protagonists are two teenagers having some silly fun until the demon enters the scene and takes over the fun. It shows up often and quite intensively, so this time there’s no endless wait for Godot. Unfortunately though, it’s not scary at all, and the permanent use of the camera, even in the tensest situations, is so unconvincing that it hurts, and Landon could have worked a bit harder on the script, too. But I still enjoy the mythology and I’m curious about what will happen next.
