In other words, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones is exactly what you would expect it to be. These films are the equivalent of the silly, but still scary, ghost stories that are best told in the middle of a dark, stormy night by someone with a flashlight pointed at her face. If you’re going into a Parnormal Activity film expecting to see something brilliantly original or good, you’re doing it wrong. You know that you’re going to jump a few times, you’re going to wonder how the characters can always be so stupid, and, if you’re so inclined, you can have fun spotting the references to previous films.

After five of these films, we all know exactly what we’re going to get when we go see a movie with the words Paranormal Activity in the title. But the fact of the matter is that they give the audience exactly what the audience is expecting. God knows that I’ve certainly criticized them a lot. Listen, it’s easy to criticize the Paranormal Activity films. (You have to wonder how Micah Sloat feels about having a film career that is pretty much based on being murdered by Katie Featherstone in film after film after film…) One character talked about having a dream where he was on a farm surrounded by old women. Old VHS tapes labeled “Katie and Kristi” are found in a closet. There were amazingly stupid characters who continually said things like, “Are you filming?” and “Did you hear that?” Most importantly, there were the shout-outs to the previous films in the series. It had everything that you’d expect from a Paranormal Activity film. In fact, by the standards of the found footage film genre, I would say it was about average. “Oh my God, Lisa - we all know the Paranormal Activity films aren’t great but was it really that bad!?”

The latest Paranormal Activity film nearly made me sick.
