Hello! My baby and I went to catch paranormal activity 5 (the marked ones) on Tuesday after we had a little math-sequence-reading-session at AMK CB :)
I know this is a bit late but I feel like giving a review for the movie!
And first of all, thanks baby for watching it with me even though you 'say no' to horror movies :P
Alright! I shall rate the movie a 6/10 overall, partly because I am a huge fan of horror movies and I have watched the paranormal activity franchise for long.
So, this movie is particularly about how some people are 'chosen' and 'marked' by the witches whom we know exist since paranormal activity 3. [Remember the two little sisters Katie and Kristi who are 'cursed' by their grandma Lois, so that the girls would give birth to sons and then give up their own son to the devil. ]
This time round, it's a dude named Jesse. So Jesse has a neighbour Anna whom people believed to be a witch. And apparently, Anna knew Jesse's mom way back before he was born, and Anna had already chosen Jesse ! *But I just don't understand why does the witch choose a guy now, I thought they only plan to brainwash girls into giving birth to sons, what the hell do they want from a marked guy anyway?
So one night Jesse and his good friend, Hector accidentally witnessed Anna performing a witchcraft on a nude teen girl via a camera. The very next morning, Jesse realised that he has a bite mark on his arm, (little did he know he was marked by Anna).
Some days later, Anna was killed by a random dude named Oscar, who was also 'cursed' and 'marked' by Anna. Oscar committed suicide soon after, probably because he couldn't take it anymore or the devil forced him to.
As Jesse began to act more darkly and strangely, his best friend Oscar and Marisol decided to contact a girl named Ali for 'consultation' :P
*Ali is the daughter of the family in Paranormal Activity 2. She was the first to suspect a haunting in the family and went on to research about the roots that led to the paranormal activities. Ali discovered that long time ago, humans can make a pact with demons for power and money, in exchange they will have to sacrifice their very first born son to the demons. Hence Ali concluded that her baby brother Hunter must be targeted by the demons after realising that Hunter was the first ever born son down the family tree. LUCKY for Ali, when the possessed woman came to claim baby boy Hunter (in which the Mom and Dad died), Ali was overseas for a school trip or something.
Okay back to the story. So Ali gave Hector and Marisol some tips and advices, and told them that the final ritual will take place in this big house that belongs to Grandma Lois.
*Grandma Lois is the grandmother of sisters Katie and Kristi. Katie was married but no children. Kristi was married and has a baby boy Hunter and Ali is her stepdaughter :)
So, anyway, the film takes us to the familiar house which is occupied by all the witches and all.
And we know the movie always end up with all the characters DEAD. =X
Oh there's a part which is pretty cool and yet a little confusing. Hector was running for his life away from the demon Jesse and the witches and he somehow rushed through this weird-looking door that led to Katie's home! (Paranormal activity 1)
*So now we know what happened in the ending of paranormal activity 1. Remember those endless nights when Katie always wake up like a zombie and will either leave the bedroom or just stand beside the bed staring at her husband sleeping? The final night Katie woke up and left the bedroom. (Camera view is in the bedroom so we can only watch Katie leave the room and see her husband sleeping like a pig haha) Then suddenly we can hear Katie screaming from somewhere outside the bedroom, and her husband woke up startled then ran down. Then the film ended when we knew Katie murdered her husband and we witnessed her demonic face.
The connection is now pretty clear. So Hector saw Katie in the kitchen, asked her for help, but Katie screamed for her husband's name, and so the husband ran down thinking that Hector is a bad guy, but Katie killed her husband with a knife. Then, Hector is killed by the possessed Jesse.
Okay it's very obvious there's gonna be paranormal activity 6 and so on. Very draggy franchise but I will still watch the next one :P
Goodbye.
And goodbye to the bad dreams (not related to the movie of course) :)
