PA:TMO focuses on the teens Jesse and Hector, whose exposure to the dark side is a natural extension of their goofing off, as boys often do the summer after high-school graduation. The earlier films portrayed young married couples or mothers or even kids trying to defend their homes against demons who slip under the bedsheets or into the souls of the unwary.

PA:TMO takes place in June 2012, but the method is the same: JesseвЂ™s pal Hector (Jorge Diaz) has to record everything with his video camera, even when someone he cares for is getting assaulted by the undead, and two free hands would be a Big Help. PA4В finally moved the chronology forward to 2011, and showed a new family getting spooked by Katie and her odd son Robbie. The third episode flashed back to KatieвЂ™s and KristiвЂ™s youth, in 1986, to show the source of their possession.

The second installment, set like the first in 2006, dramatized a similar ghostly influence on KatieвЂ™s sister Kristi (Sprague Grayden). The first PA film, in which writer-director Oren Peli suavely updated the Blair Witch Project template of found-footage horror, introduced the creepy shadows into the new home of Micah Stoat and Katie Featherston (the actors using their own names). PA:TMOВ provides the familiar cheap thrills but with a salsa tang. The PA series, whose first four films have earned $720 million at the worldwide box office on a ridiculously frugal total budget of about $13 million, was a natural for a January release. B-minus exorcism epics like Season of the Witch (2011) and The Devil Inside (2012) or the zillionth remake of a horror classic - last yearвЂ™s Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3DВ - provide reminders that the business of Hollywood is business, and one of the best ways to make quick money is with horror for the teens.

Mind you, one sound is understood in any language: a scream. This gives the series, which seemed to jump the shark, or the shock, with the last episode, a jolt of energy.В Jokier and more sexually charged than its predecessors, with some of the dialogue in Spanish, this is Paranormal Activity, Univision-style.

After four PAs on consecutive Halloweens, the new movie is not exactly a sequel - PA 5 is due this coming October - but more a grafting of the familiar fright mechanisms onto the more robust L.A. Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, the latest installment of the found-footage horror franchise that began in 2009, takes a detour off CaliforniaвЂs Highway One from the nice white people getting haunted in suburban Los Angeles and lands in heavily Hispanic Oxnard.

Not good - for Jesse or any of his friends. More seriously, вЂњAre you my guardian angel?вЂќ Another beep: Yes.

вЂњDo you think IвЂ™m handsome?вЂќ he asks, laughing. Follow (Andrew Jacobs) wants to contact an unearthly spirit he thinks has begun to inhabit him, so naturally he uses the old electronic game Simon as a medium.
