Load of rubbish!!
Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
A Latino spin-off from the inexplicably popular Paranormal Activiity found-footage series, The Marked Ones follows a group of friends, Jesse (Andrew Jacobs), Hector (Jorge Diaz) and Marisol (Gabrielle Walsh), who discover that strange occult rituals have been taking place in their apartment complex. Soon after, Jesse starts to act very strangely, and it gradually becomes apparent that he has been marked by a coven of witches who need him for one of their black magic shin-digs.Boring, predictable, unimaginative garbage with zero atmosphere and countless ineffective jump scares, the fifth Paranormal Activity film fails to bring anything new to the table, reeling off all the clichés that have become synonymous with the found-footage sub-genre. For about two seconds—when the witches ran screeching from the darkness only to be be blown away by shotgun—the film actually held my interest, but for the rest of the time I was clock watching, longing for the closing credits.After what seemed like an eternity of characters wandering round in the dark, the end credits did indeed come, but only after the final surviving character went through a time-portal to come face to face with Micah and Katie from the first film. Why? How? What? I'm confused, but I really can't be bothered to invest the time trying to figure it out.
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.
I was really expecting something good because I have been looking forward t watching this series of movies, to bad I didn't look at the reviews before hand. The movie is about a kid named Jess who gets possessed by a demon and eventually tries to get it out. The movie didn't even try to be creative. Oh hector is going for a close up with the camera toward a window of course a person is going to slam their face against it. Oh hector and Jesse are looking for Oscar, then Oscar falls onto a car next to them. And of course when you look in a scary basement you have to have the 2 scary blacked eyed girls behind a curtain when looking. Also the ending didn't make any sense, hector encountered a woman who started yelling matic, then she rushed him With a knife, a man runs down the stairs and try's to help her but he gets in a fight with her. Then to top it all of hector runs away opens a door, some type of monster humans jumps him, his camera falls to the ground then a couple seconds later a strange woman turns of the camera.What I am saying is that there are many more examples of the movie being predictable, if you would watch it you would know. The only reason is that I didn't rate this movie lower is because their where some funny parts that were meant to be funny then parts that where funny, but not meant to be funny. Like a funny part that was not meant to be funny was when Jesse was possessed by a demon and had the little dog shoved on the feeling running on its side. Anyway I knew that they could have done a much better job because oculus had the same budget and they made a master piece. Only watch this movie for comedic value or something to laugh at.
