This all seems to bring the film back to its beginning. The group turn up at the same house featured in “4” and Hector ends up in the house from the first in the series where Katie is killing Micah. The trio ask Oscar’s brother, Arturo (Richard Cabral) to help them to stop what is happening to Jesse.

Confusing yes, but overall, the plot device is unobtrusive and only really becomes apparent in the final frames of the film. Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, besides moving into the barrio “Holmes,” jumps forward to blend in with the time of Paranormal Activity, the first one. Each film moves forward along the time line, until “4” where they go back to the girls childhood.

Peli bowed out after the first one, although he still gets credit in the writing area and as producer. The first film, written and directed by Oren Peli was made for the staggering low price of $15k and, to-date, has grossed over $102 million. Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones is the next in this long running franchise that started back in 2007 with a low/no budget production that starred largely unknown actors in a variation of the “found footage” genre.
