In October 2012 a video footage is found at the home of Malcolm Johnson and the recordings are still unexplained. Past this prologue a story in flashback form unfolds. During the summer of 2012, Malcolm and Kisha move in together and start a happy life. One night Kisha notices a few unexplained phenomena that convince her their house is haunted by ghosts. To allay her fears Malcom hires a camera crew to film inside the house day and night. A few nights later Malcom and Keisha have sex on camera, despite Keisha's protests at being filmed. Upon reviewing the sex tape the next day, Malcom and Keisha notice a few paranormal phenomena caught on tape. Malcom wants to sell the house but the housing market is slow. Therefore, Malcom decides to hire a psychic to come to the house and investigate. After Kisha confesses to making a deal with the devil for a pair of shoes things start to make sense but it doesn't solve the problems caused by the paranormal phenomena. —nufs68

6/10

A Better Scary Movie 5

Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

It's almost like the Wayans had their Scary Movie franchise taken away from them, and they said, "We learned a lot, and Scary Movie 3 wasn't all that. Let's keep making parodies!"

So by the time they made this, it was a better Scary Movie 5.

Focusing on making fun of the 15 Paranormal Activity movies, Marlon and Kisha nail their roles alongside a quality stable of supporting actors.
