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.

The plot is a confusing, derivative mishmash of half-baked supernatural clichés, and the total absence of characterization makes it hard to care what happens. January 8, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The leads are appealing but the best scares will be familiar to anyone who has seen the previous films - or, for that matter, the trailer. January 6, 2014 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

This fifth in the series further diminishes the promise of the 2007 original, replacing mystery and suspense with predictability and misogyny. January 6, 2014 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

The novelty of "found footage" wore off almost immediately upon arrival, and yet the "style" persists, despite the fact (or maybe because of the fact) that it's tired and lazy. January 5, 2014 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The scares are effective and unsettling, and work better because they depend less on the Where's Waldo? compositions of the other sequels and more on character dynamics. June 21, 2016 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

Hands down, The Marked Ones is absolutely relentless, creepy as hell and a ton of fun on the big screen- it totally surprised me and left me with my enthusiasm for the PA series renewed. January 8, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

This film is not scary, it's simply an exercise in waiting for a loud, ear piercing musical cue that forces us to be startled. April 23, 2015 | Rating: D | Full Review…

The law of diminishing returns mean this is now an exercise repetition: the tricks have all lost their power to terrify and The Marked Ones is just a vaguely spooky shadow of its a former self. May 20, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
