I must confess that while my feeling toward the film, in an overall sense, was that it was decent and would have been better served as something I waited to watch on Netflix, there were certain changes that were made that I found worked to help enhance the story and place it above its predecessors. The coming attractions, along with the movie’s short runtime of eighty four minutes, however, persuaded me enough to give up a portion of my Saturday evening to see if the Paranormal Activity franchise had any cinematic life left to it.
In the interest of full disclosure, I was more than a bit reluctant to go see yet another of that type of movie, especially after sitting through the ‘no thrills’ fourth entry into the series.

(As an aside, this entry to the series, due to production issues, is the only one since the series began in 2007, that was not released during the month of October.) While the movie is part horror and part thriller, it also is one more entry into the seemingly endless ‘found footage’ style of filmmaking. Written and directed by Christopher Landon, “Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones” had its American premiere on January 2, 2014, in Hollywood, California. I shopped around for a new computer, which I set up last evening so hopefully, I can now get back to writing on a regular basis. Shortly after the New Year began, I sat down to write, and my computer tower died. It was certainly not my intention to give myself any sort of extended hiatus from posting. I am sorry that this is the first time I have blogged since the year began. I hope you all had a very Happy New Year, and I wish you all the best in your endeavors moving forward with 2014.
