Yet it squeezes some entertaining suspense out of characters like Jacob, a dour elder with long white hair and a dab of beard, nicely played by Tom Nowicki, who turns even the act of saying grace into a veiled threat (he says they’re grateful “to have our sister Margot return to us,” and a red flag goes up - do they think she’s joining them?). “Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin” is like “Midsommar” made with a lower budget and a cruder sense of shock value.
