But they’ve left important elements of the story out, or fudged them. The four installments preceding this one (not counting last year’s one-off “The Marked Ones”) have constructed, in shards, a fractured narrative involving a demon that haunts houses and targets those unlucky enough to live in them.

Unfortunately, it’s being played straight, and the result is a deadly bore. The original 2009 “Paranormal Activity”-the “Blair Witch” of its time-has been sequeled and copied so often by now that the latest installment in the franchise, “The Ghost Dimension,” would probably have worked better as a parody, so long as the Wayan brothers weren’t involved.
