Review of Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (2014) by Mattyrob16 — 11 Jan 2014

Saw it. Seriously liked and admired the direction of the movie. Explaining that Kristi and her family's story, while pivotal, is not isolated, but in fact part of a bigger plot effecting many people.

One of the more interesting points of the marked ones was with the peripheral character Oscar. He, in a daze of clinging to the last of his humanity, tells the main character that they have both been marked, that "she put it in me.

.. Like she put it in you." and most unsettlingly goes on to explain that "the only way to stop it is to kill yourself... Kill yourself before you hurt somebody you care about." which is what he proceeds to do himself.

The way that Oscar's story was attached to the root plot of the marked ones I don't doubt seeing the rest of his story told in another movie from the beginning, upto his showdown with Anna, and most disturbing, what horrible things he must have done between killing her and killing himself, to make him give Jesse such a horrifyingly accurate warning of where their common possessions would lead if unchecked.

I have always said that the paranormal activity movies offer much more individually as contributions to a very unique, original, and ambitious saga than they do as stand alone projects. Be that as it may, This film was loads of fun.
