New Paranormal Activity movie Marked Ones (not 5) sucks complete balls. Or not?

[Kaz32 1,233]

Now for those of you that wanted to watch the movie, just watch this review.

And know that Paranormal Activity just need to stop because it's not fresh anymore.

But according to the wiki reviews, there are people that like this movie. IGN too that gives it 7 out of 10.

I'm guessing this is one of those split decision movie where some will hate and some will like.

[JoelMattGarcia 218]

I'm surprised people are actually still paying to see it. Most people must enjoy shit.

[IcedAjack 335]

It didn't look interesting when I first saw it, doesn't sound interesting now.

i like that it's a new storyline with references to the other movies, thats about it though. i haven't seen it, i just read about it and saw the previews.

[Kaz32 1,233]

But funny thing is based on wikipedia,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranormal_Activity:_The_Marked_Ones

Based on the reception section:

Early response to The Marked Ones has been positive, with Bloody Disgusting reporting that early screenings of the film were met with extremely positive reactions from viewers and expressed optimism that it might "reinvigorate the franchise".

Evan Dickson of Bloody Disgusting was also the first to give their impressions on the film, giving it a positive review of 4/5. Stating, "Fun, scary and remarkably cinematic within the found footage conceit, The Marked Ones might be the first Paranormal Activity movie that feels like an event film while you’re watching it". Dickson also stated that it was "neck and neck with PA3".

 

This could mean it's one of those mixed reaction kind of movie where you can love it or hate it, or this is just 1 out of 10 reviews that's positive and the other 9 is intentionally left out.

Uhm.... I find it hard to believe anyone thought this movie would be great or anything.

I mean the other movies really kind of sucked and weren't really that scary at all.

I paid to see the first one, realized my mistake and then just waited for the others to air on TV and was quite happy I did so since, to me, they aren't that great of movies

[MusicianJamie 15]

The 1st one wasn't even remotely scary. Let alone all the other shitty sequels.

I knew it. You look like the type who will hate this series. It's all so obvious ms Gabbo. Why pay to see the first movie if you know you're not going to like it or get scared by it? Or why watch them all anyway if you don't like it? That's like not liking video games but play them anyway. Or for a more movie-related stuff, that's like keep going to watch the entire Twilight series even though you hate it. It's pointless! I mean I have never watched the Twilight series till this day because I know it's just teen romance bullshit. One look at a youtube video showing the vampire sparkles makes me go "oh fuck me, this movie is going to stain my idea of the usually awesome vampire race. I shall ignore this series to spare me the horror".

[IDSpike 49]

This doesn't surprise me at all. I haven't had any hope for the series since the 2nd.

I thought the first was fairly entertaining, but it seems like they really weren't planning on a sequel as they pretty much used all the good tricks in the first.

That became massively successful and now it seems they're just cranking out mediocre sequels.  

I find it rather annoying how any decently successful horror movie seems to spawn an unnecessary amount of sequels.

I mentioned paying to see it because the day it was out I went with friends to go see it and feel ripped off because the movie wasn't worth the money spent to see it.

 

I only ended up watching the others because nothing else of interest was on TV that late at night and I typically watch a channel dedicated to horror shows so that's  pretty much the only reason I saw the rest of them.

 

I grew up watching everything from Phantasm, Hell Raiser, Poltergeist, Alfred Hitchcock, The Twilight Zone, Creep Show, The Exorcist, Night of the Living Dead, Pet Cemetery to Vincent Price horror movies and everything in between. I know a shitty horror film when I see one.

 

Im not sure what your sarcastic little post here was suppose to do but I assure you all it accomplished was nothing.

 

And I didn't say I hated the movies I said they weren't good. The ones I have seen aren't worth the money it would take to go and see them at a theater but not so bad I wouldn't watch it if nothing else was on TV but I wouldn't actively look for it or watch it if something better was on.

Ohoho, it accomplished something. Now I know what horror movies you like, and I understand more on why you're so very specific.

 

So ms Gabbo, should I call you ms Szabo or Div from now on? Cause I'm still not clear on what I should call you since the last time you derail my thread.

[Bluenex 32]

At least it's a new storyline.

So I guess I can watch it once ^^

[Orpo 335]

Am i the only one who think that Paranormal Activity series is pretty much a bunch of jumpscares?

[Aquila 183]

Actually I read through your posts, and you're the one who derailed this thread. And continuing to do so.

I shouldn't have to tell you to stop in your own thread.

Paranormal Activity, as a series, is only good for a couple of jump scares, but i find the overall story and concpet hilariously flawed. It's basically the same in every movie,

 

Moron One: "Hey man there's some sinister shit happening in the house".

 

Moron Two: "Lets film everything regardless of what happens until It's way to late to get the fuck out of dodge".

 

4 movies of watching people stay in the same goddamn house, half of them not believe in demons until the demon actually starts to hurt people, is just too painful.

Eddie Murphy explains this quite well:

[7thFrost 154]

Just watch Honest Trailers for my opinion on the series

[Mexman 17]

Ill just watch it when it comes out on TV

[argetlam350 512]

And the first four movies were good? Seriously this entire series is awful, I don't understand how anyone could find them scary and the camera movement is utter crap at times. Yes I enjoy having someone carrying around a camera and making me sick.

Or the terrible acting, got to love the awful acting.

Seriously these movies are laughable and a joke, not even good for a jump scare in my opinion, it's much more entertaining to pick the movie apart and find everything that is dumb in them.

 

Sorry I just really hate Paranormal Activity.

[Bimpy782 18]

cant believe people went to go see it i mean the 3rd and 4th movies sucked i like the first 2 cause they were fun for a few jump scares with friends but i never got why people were screaming their heads off when they saw any of the movies well cant wait for paranormal activity 6 7 and 8 or whatever the hell they will call those movies

lol Eddie Murphy summed it up quite well on why these movies make no sense

[Derle Merle 10]

Wait are you saying the other ones doesnt suck complete balls?

[SgtMerrick 157]

One look at a youtube video showing the vampire sparkles makes me go "oh fuck me, this movie is going to stain my idea of the usually awesome vampire race. I shall ignore this series to spare me the horror".

I was writing a book with vampires in it once (a mix between traditional vamps and Blade vamps), but then the first book/movie came out of the series. I stopped writing this book because at that second I could feel a stain being splashed across vampires in media forever.

 

Now, vampires are a fucking joke. This annoys me to no end.

Sorry. She's a pretty interesting person that I can't resist asking questions. I still don't know if she prefers Gabbo or Szabo, meh I'll call her ms Szabo. Alright! I'll try to ignore her more often from now on.

So what do you think? Did you plan to watch Paranormal Activity the Marked Ones before knowing about this? Do you think this series should just end?

[Lightning 186]

I havent seen this movie and probably wont but, im sure it sucks massive balls. I saw two of the other ones and I literally slept not even half way through one of them. It was at night sure but, I mostly slept through it out of boredom. 

[Gone the Third 465]

I'm not even remotely surprised, and that's coming from someone who at least sort of liked the first two films (3 & 4... well, let's not mention them). Not even the commercials for this one made it look even remotely entertaining, and even less so scary.

 

I was writing a book with vampires in it once (a mix between traditional vamps and Blade vamps), but then the first book/movie came out of the series. I stopped writing this book because at that second I could feel a stain being splashed across vampires in media forever.

Don't give up because one awful series became popular. We need more writers who write good vampire stories if we want to have any hope of getting the genre's dignity back. It will not be easy, and it may take a while, but if we fight fang and nail we can ensure that the word "vampire" return to striking fear into the hearts of mortal men, and not laughter into the minds of Youtube commenters. 

If you need some encouragement to get back at it, I'd recommend you read the Dresden files. It's got vampires, and they do not suck- they rip and tear into their prey, just like true predators should.
