Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (2014)

Slightly Above Average

[7/10 · 3 January 2014]

A fun movie. I love how people post how much they "hate" the Paranormal Activity franchise yet they continue to see every new one that comes out.

I enjoyed all of the PAs including the 5th. No they're not ground breaking new material, but they are FUN. I don't go to movies to criticize every little thing. I go to have fun and enjoy myself. Although this one was a little slow to develop in the beginning the last 20 minutes were pretty intense.

If you "hate" all the previous Paranormal Activities then save your money and your hate-filled drivel and stay away. Nobody is forcing you to see it. If you didn't mind the previous PAs and just want to enjoy yourself for 2 hours then go see PA5.

The Bell Witch Haunting (2013)

Not a bad movie at all!

I have no idea what people are talking about who are ripping on this movie. Continuity, storyline, tension, blah blah blah. The story was fine, the continuity was fine, and there certainly WAS tension buildup leading to the scares. It's a found footage film so obviously the camera work is going to be a little shaky. Yes it's similar to Paranormal and Blair Witch... who cares? There are some great scares and scenes that creeped me out. Who cares if some of it is predictable? Who cares if it isn't realistic? It's a horror movie folks. Newsflash: most paranormal and zombie horror isn't realistic. Some of you have to remove the stick from your rear and just walk into these movies to enjoy them instead of trying to find things wrong.

I highly recommend this movie. Not the best or scariest, but far far far from the worst.
