It’s no secret that Latinos, as a group, are big fans of the horror genre, though horror movie producers rarely get that message and actually respond. Still, that’s exactly what they did with the fifth movie in the Paranormal Activity franchise, The Marked Ones.
Se Fija!’s publisher Angela Ortíz got a chance to hang out with stars of the film, Andrew Jacobs, Jorge Diaz, Renee Victor, and Gabrielle Walsh. They talked about their bonding on the set, how director Christopher B. Landon was open to suggestions, and the many goodies you’ll find on the Blu-ray edition.
Paranormal Activity has been an almost unrelentingly suburban Anglo product since its beginning in 2007. But now, with The Marked Ones, a new storyline is introduced–one in which Latino culture and characters play a major role.
How does this all connect to the twisted continuing story of the earlier films in the series? Be patient; the tie-in comes in the last few minutes of the film.
It’s available Tuesday, April 8 wherever DVDs or VODs are sold.
