“Sitting through this movie,” wrote Slant Magazine’s critic of Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, “one is driven to respect not the artistry of the filmmakers, as there’s precious little of that on display, but the ingenuity and shamelessness of the businessmen who’ve coerced a significant amount of ticket buyers into plopping down their money.”
Part sequel, part spin-off, but mostly more of the same, The Marked Ones was another reminder of what happens when a franchise goes on too long and filmmakers attempt to squeeze nickels and dimes out of the same premise for the fifth time. By this point, the returns hadn’t just diminished, they were looking decidedly decrepit.
Surprisingly, a Paranormal Activity stage play in the works by the same producer who helped bring Life of Pi to Broadway.
Paranormal Activity Next of Kin is an unnecessary addition to the franchise with a cool creature feature.
The Hollywood Reporter brings word tonight that a Paranormal Activity reboot is in the works from Underwater director William Eubank.
