What to know

critics consensus

A change of setting breathes some new life into the franchise, but Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones fails to provide enough consistent thrills to justify a fifth film in the series. Read critic reviews

Audience Reviews for Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones

  • Dec 21, 2015
    The Marked Ones stands as a sort of non-linear addition to the found footage saga of Paranormal Activity and attempts to explore the witchcraft theme deeper, following the same vein as PA3. It also adopts the same construct in the way that it is one of the strongest chapters of the series. It's one of three good films in a series of 5 (soon to be six). I think Paranormal Activity is a brilliant series personally and The Marked Ones adds benevolently to them. Whilst the jump-scares are slightly predictable and those that weren't thrilled by the efforts of the other films need not apply as there really isn't anything new here. If you enjoyed the first few then you'll definitely enjoy this one. It's also one of the more bizarre ones.

    Is this claptrap still scary to anyone? The series has run its course which is highly evident within this boring, unscary slog. Rating: 38

    Having seen all the others, I wanted to see this one as well. Even though they added a new twist, it still felt very drawn out and boring.

    Arguably the worst Paranormal Activity film. Definitely the worst acted. I am happy to see horror still getting made, but good horror this is not. Good anything this is not.
