The time-traveling element, which is explained briefly early on, basically consists of a mystical doorway that defies space and time. Eventually, Jesse is abducted despite their best efforts, and the group track him down at Grandma Lois’ house ( “PA 3”). Jesse and his friends seek out the advice of Ali Rey ( “PA 2”), who has been researching the coven ever since the abduction of her little brother in hopes that she can help reverse Jesse’s condition.

At first, he uses it to his advantage, but the novelty soon begins to wear off as he starts to deteriorate both mentally and physically.Īt this point, the plot begins to intermix various elements from the previous movies. After finding a bite mark on his arm (the same one found on Katie in the first “PA”), Jesse discovers newfound superhuman strength. A recent high school graduate, Jesse is part of a laundry list of supposed “marked ones,” who have all lost their mothers at birth and wound up abducted and never found upon reaching their 18th birthdays. “The Marked Ones” follows Jesse and his best pals Hector and Marisol as they document the strange goings-on of his downstairs neighbor named Anna, a suspected witch. It also affords certain characters the ability to appear in multiple movies without the need for a heavy-handed explanation.

A significant departure from the previous installments, “The Marked Ones” features an all-Latino cast and - SPOILER ALERT -introduces a time-travel element.Īdmittedly a haphazard plot device, the time traveling only helps to add to the overall mythos of the series and helps explain various incongruities that existed leading up to the spinoff. Oh, Mylanta! It doesn’t get much more absurdly fun than this.Īlthough not numerically part of the “Paranormal Activity” franchise, “The Marked Ones” is a spinoff that serves as a catalyst for all plot holes and unanswered questions leading up to this point in the series. An international coven of time-traveling witches comes to collect the children of marked pregnant women.
