Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones

You can read my review of the film here.

Pros

- Very likable characters who you can both empathize and sympathize with

- The seemingly out of place injection of humor does a lot to make the movie a more entertaining watch.

- Does a better job of building up tension and dread than the last two entries in the franchise.

- Tries to change things up as opposed to just rehashing the established formula.

Cons

- Still heavy on the jump scares

- It takes a long time for anything scary to happen.

- Doesn't advance the story as much as one might hope


Overall


After the almost worthless fourth entry, this takes steps in the right direction.  I won't go so far as to say that it saved the franchise, but it shows glimmers of hope that there may still be a little spark left.
