2013 will come and go without a new entry in the hugely successful Paranormal Activity franchise, but fans of the franchise will be pleased to know that two new entries are scheduled for 2014. The first, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, is a Latino-centric California-based spin-off of the series scheduled for release on January 3rd. It is written and directed by Christopher Landon.

While I was a fan of the first three entries in the Paranormal Activity franchise, the fourth entry left a lot to be desired. While The Marked Ones isn’t specifically a part of the on-going franchise, it’s clear from the trailer that it has connections to the original series. The   other sequel, believed-to-be Paranormal Activity 5, is expected to be released next October. In the meantime, check out the trailer for Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones below.
