Paranormal activity marked ones explanation series#
So, this time around, after giving the franchise a year off, we have an entry into the series that isn’t predominately focused on the storyline of Katie and Kristi, with Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones instead presenting itself as more of a “cousin” to the main franchise, a standalone entry that shares connective tissue with some elements of the main series but endeavours to tell a story that’s resolutely its own beast. Yet, the producers kept greenlighting sequels due to the massively lucrative box office the films generated compared to the costs of producing them eventually, though, things came to a head with Paranormal Activity 4, which was poorly received by both critics and audiences alike and forced the studio to re-evaluate its yearly release schedule. The first film was interesting enough, mainly due to how it managed to revitalise the found footage horror genre and generate effective scares on a shoestring budget, but overall it was much too tame and uneventful for my tastes.Īs the increasingly convoluted mythology of the series was expanded upon with each successive sequel, the series suffered from diminishing returns, arguably due to taking the story in a ridiculous direction with the addition of witches and familial curses rather than sticking with the relatively straightforward demonic possession story of the first instalment. I’ll be completely honest: The Paranormal Activity franchise has never really appealed to me.
