Quick recap

On October 9, 2006, Katie kills Kristi and Daniel and takes baby Hunter. In November 2011, in Henderson, Nevada, teenager Alex lives with her parents, Doug and Holly, and her six-year-old brother, Wyatt. The neighbor boy, Robbie, whose mother is mysterious, starts staying at their house. Wyatt talks about a friend, and Alex and her boyfriend, Ben, set up cameras using a laptop, Skype and the Xbox Kinect. A symbol on Wyatt's back leads to a possession ritual. It turns out Robbie's mother is Katie. She tells Wyatt he was adopted and that his other family wants him back, and he shouts at an invisible presence: "My name is not Hunter!". Holly dies, Ben has his neck snapped and the family is hunted. Alex flees through a window, sees Wyatt and a ring of women, and Katie appears behind her before the camera drops.
