There are worse found-footage movies out there, but The Marked Ones is definitely one you can skip over. You just want these stupid jump scares to stop so you can go about your life not watching this movie. Near the end I was just waiting for it to be over because you know there's not going to be any explanation or any depth to the story at that point. People have reported hearing the sounds of a carriage crashing and cries for help. According to the story, the woman's neck snapped and the man was crushed in a slow, torturous death.

Scary Movie V (2013) One of the main parodies. 30 Nights of Paranormal Activity with the Devil Inside the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2013) One of the main parodies.

Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (2014) Part of the series. I liked the characters, I thought the filmmakers were doing something interesting and fresh, there are some comedic bits thrown around, it was just enjoyable to watch. The first 30 or so minutes I was invested in the movie. It's the same premise though - found-footage, teenagers, ghosts, demons, and what have you. I've only seen the first Paranormal Activity so I'm reviewing this as a standalone movie, even though it's actually a spin off or whatever.
