The scene is eerie, but because the friends make it out to be humorous throws kills the filmвЂ™s tone. When one of the three ask it a вЂњyes or noвЂќ question, it replies with the corresponding colors. Consider the scene where Jesse, Hector, and Marisol screw about with a вЂњSimon SaysвЂќ toy, which only seems to utilize two of its four colors, green and red. While this keeps The Marked OnesВ adequately afloat, the film still seems to suffer from an identity crisis, particularly with the heavy inclusion of comedy, which simultaneously makes the picture more interesting but also manages to throw it off. Because the camera never leaves Jesse, and many scenes involve him doing pretty normal, day-to-day stuff with his equally likable buddy Hector, liking him and expressing a fondness for his character isnвЂ™t an unheard of thing. Past victims other than Katie in the original film have been difficult to sympathize with because we donвЂ™t know a lot about them. Jesse has got to be one of the most fortunate victims in the Paranormal ActivityВ franchise, spinoff or not, because he is one of the few protagonists we become invested in just enough to care about when these events begin to occur. As with the previous four films, the friends of the victim вЂ“ in this case, his buddy and his sister вЂ“ desperately try to piece together what exactly is happening with Jesse and what can be done to stop it. He loses touch with reality, and himself, similar to another neighborhood friend named Oscar (Carlos Pratts), who we often see whipping around town during the night at hyper-speeds. Jesse discovers bite-marks on his arm, and begins to develop anti-social, aggressive tendencies towards random people and loved ones. Paranormal Activity: The Marked OnesДЄndrew Jacobs, Molly Ephraim, Richard Cabral Release Date Jesse and Hector would always hear odd sounds coming from their neighborвЂ™s home, which was located directly beneath thereвЂ™s, but now that sheвЂ™s dead, they discover something even more haunting вЂ“ JesseвЂ™s gradual descent into troubling behavior. The film revolves around Jesse (Andrew Jacobs), his buddy Hector (Jorge Diaz), and his sister Marisol (Gabrielle Walsh) as they experience obscure вЂњparanomalitiesвЂќ after their elderly apartment neighbor dies in strange circumstances. The Marked OnesВ is the franchiseвЂ™s second spinoff вЂ“ if you count the Tokyo-released Paranormal Activity 2: Tokyo NightВ (unseen by me), but I digress вЂ“ jumbling up all that we came to know before, this time concerning a Latino family in the working/middle class, Hispanic neighborhood of Oxnard, California.

However, the January-release of Paranormal Activity: The Marked OnesВ continues with my other unintentional-tradition that my first theater-film of the year is a very mediocre horror film, 2013вЂ™s being Texas Chainsaw 3DВ and 2012вЂ™s being The Devil Inside.

If that old saying was true, IвЂ™m a cat who lost all his nine lives rather quickly. While each sequel to 2009вЂ™s surprisingly great Paranormal ActivityВ was significantly lacking in some way or another, I always looked forward to what exactly was in store for the next film. Call it a blessing, a curse, or what-have-you, I felt a tad incomplete. Halloween 2013 felt a little unremarkable this year, from the lack of spirit in my local neighborhood, the presence of only one theatrically-released horror film during the whole month of October ( Carrie), and the first time since 2009 I didnвЂ™t spend one Saturday morning in the theater watching an installment of the Paranormal ActivityВ franchise. While the film is different from its predecessors in several aspects, it still reeks of the smothering sameness of them in several areas as well.
