Hands grab people below trap doors, disfigured figures stagger around corners, and people blast through the air with, actually, not-so-shabby effects. It's up to its neck in clichés, sure, but at times it's genuinely scary. Performances generally surpass expectations too, Andrew Jacobs as Jesse especially convincing while in and out of his possession. The characters toying around with the sub-human stunts Jesse can suddenly perform, and then gradually realising their dangerous, consuming potential darkens the tone of the film as it progresses, and interestingly integrates the supernatural into everyday environments. It certainly keeps you guessing, which is more than can be said for a lot of the Paranormal Activity films. The nature of 'The Marked Ones' curse and the amount of insight you get through the eyes of the ignorant friends means you don't always know exactly what's going on – but that adds to its interest and makes for a satisfyingly shock – if not somewhat ambiguous – ending. What you do get though is heaps more action (goodbye static cameras in corners of rooms) and a plot with a more interesting, unpredictable path. It's not wholly dissimilar from the original films: the meddling teens investigate supernatural happenings and record everything they experience. But when Jesse's behaviour turns uncontrollably sinister and they learn he's been marked for possession since birth, it's up to Hector and Molly to break the curse and free his friend before he kills. Harmless and playful, the trio dismisses it as a bit of fun at first. When teen friends Jesse, Hector and Molly start looking into the recent and unexplained death of their neighbour, Jesse begins encountering strange and disturbing phenomena.
