I've seen them all theatrically and I'd rank this probably as one of the worst of the franchise. Better than 4, but on par with 2 and Marked Ones.

How many unanswered questions were there? This movie pissed me off so much. If it wasn't the end, this would probably be a decent film. But the end of the franchise, big FU to the fans. This and the 4th were the worst.

There really wasn't a sense of closure in this as say Saw 3D.

Just out of curiosity and without spoiling too much...does the film ever go into what the symbol means (the triangle with the circle inside of it)?? I tried looking it up online but can't seem to find much. I'm under the assumption it's some masonic cult symbol commonly found and used in hollywood (and why is the all seeing eye everywhere in film and music anyway??).
A lot of people have been saying it's actually a real symbol used by a cult of witches back in the 30's but I couldn't find any solid evidence on that.
Just wanted to know if we ever get answers on that as well.

It wasn't Hunter, it was another kid. Hunter was the adopted kid living with the family. Katie had another kid that was her "son". Saw just pissed me off as Dr. Gordon wasn't supposed to be that guy, per the commentary by the original creators.

Based upon Ghost Dimension, there's a brief line of dialogue that mentioned the death of a family in Henderson, NV. I assume that Alex and her younger brother were killed at the end of 4. Katie and Hunter/Robbie lived next door to Alex's family and the family brought in Hunter when Katie became "ill."

Also, Robbie disappears with no explanation part way through the movie and at the end Katie comes and takes Wyatt away, back to her home with all the witches.
Yes, it makes no sense that Katie would kill her sister's family, kidnap Hunter because she needs him for some prophecy...and then give him up for adoption only to replace him with another kid (for the sole reason of providing a red herring for the audience) and then kill Hunter's adopted family and take him back.
...That's what the movie seemed to suggest to me though.

I was pretty sure that 4 heavily implied that the family's kid (Wyatt) was Hunter. They mention that he is adopted and at one point he says his real name was Hunter.

Thank you. Previous poster must NOT have watched part 4. Wyatt was Hunter, who Katie dropped off and had adopted for some reason (reason never explained at all). There was Robbie (Katie's "son" for all purposes related to part 4) who just vanished at the end of Part 4 and never made mention of in the new one. What was the whole point of Robbie? To have a friend for Wyatt/Hunter? Didn't they also have the same birthday (not 100% sure on that). So yeah, lots of unanswered questions in the new one. Hunter is NOT Robbie. In fact, had Matthew Chmiel watched Ghost Dimension, he would have seen the picture and video of Wyatt/HUNTER in some of that doctor's witchcraft (which never even explained that doctor as he just came into this film and it seems strange since this was an all women cult). But no mention of Robbie at all who was not killed.

And see in my opinion...that's what makes the marked ones awesome...a lot of people are complaining about not enough info in the newest ones (and who knows, prob rightly so but I haven't seen it yet) but I always thought we did get a lot answered in the marked ones.
I think the main issue is that people are looking for "Solid" facts and want it all spelled out for them - when it comes to this series...I don't need that and what was given in the marked ones was awesome but again.....I don't blame people - to each their own. BUT with all that said....I also see how most would be pissed with how long it was dragged out and how some stuff makes absolutely no sense or was just too damn confusing.
And yes, the facts you stated DO in fact make it more creepy.

I enjoyed the Marked Ones and I can see Robbie being marked, but really, is that ALL Robbie was? To draw back in Hunter/Wyatt? Why even give him up for the adoption then? And really what was Jesse's and his friend really doing? Seemed strange to have a female woman as the one to bring out Toby when everyone turning bad was male. I'm still a bit confused at this part.

I don't remember if his name was Oscar, don't think he is. Wasn't Oscar Jesse's BFF? The other guy that was like Jesse who turned evil. You have the Mexicans needing to be 18 before they turned. Then you have Wyatt/Hunter as well as the girl in this one are suddenly of age to do this? Cause they have birthdates of 6/6/05. Not sure why NOW is the time for them to get Tobey? And why did Kate all of a sudden turn in the first? I mean, if Hunter wasn't the right age, why turn then and not when he is of age just to throw him up for adoption? Still makes no sense to have a random, Robbie, just appear and then disappear. You think, with this being the 5th/6th movie in this franchise, things would be a bit clearer.

Yeah, I remember the whole first male being born in the first or second film. Still, with Leila, she's a female. Doesn't seem or make mention of the family making promises like that. So that is a bit strange.

Re: Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension (2015, Plotkin)
I remember that Degloshi family back when the videos came out. Has there ever been any OFFICIAL mention of this tying into the movies and franchise (I do think the daughter was in Part 4, but any mention on the DVDs or even the official pages of the franchise?) I know there were a LOT of delays so wondering if it was just dropped or what happened. And how did Kristie help them find a girl? Kristie basically gave birth to Hunter and completely forgot about everything (though the whole mother thing that was a big question mark after watching 3 into 1 was finally answered).
