Freshly graduated from high school, two teenage boys, Jesse (Andrew Jacobs) and Hector (Jorge Diaz), acquire a camera (whose footage comprises the movie) and begin documenting their carefree exploits together. PARANORMAL ACTIVITY: THE MARKED ONES is set in a Latino barrio in Oxnard, California. It’s a jump-scare movie with very little entertainment value and a plethora of negative elements. It follows a group of teenagers who experience demonic possession and oppression. PARANORMAL ACTIVITY: THE MARKED ONES is a horror movie employing the “found footage” cinematography style.
