[BD Review] ‘Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones’ Is A Remarkable Return To Form!
Paramount Pictures’ Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones hits theaters THIS FRIDAY January 3, 2014. And you know what? I recommend you go see it that night. Find a big crowd and have a blast with it. I say this as a guy who pretty much hated Paranormal Activity 4.
Writer/director Christopher Landon has gotten the series back on track in a big way, delivering an installment that is certainly one of the most entertaining in the series. From my review, “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. Not only does it make up for the abject disappointment of PA4, it manages to tie into the mythology of the series in a way that will invigorate anyone who has ever been a fan.”
Read the entire review here and then come back on Friday to write your own! We’ll have a reaction thread up then!
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
