Paranormal Activity 2 (2010)

“Steady your nerves, your sleepless nights are about to return.”

…Or so they say.

Paranormal Activity 2 is the new horror film just in time for Halloween that is a sequel to last year’s Paranormal Activity. It follows Kristy, who is Katie’s sister from the first one, and her family as they start to experience “paranormal activity” after the birth of the newborn baby, Hunter.

The film takes place during the time frame of the first one, with 60 days before Micah Sloat’s death. The occurrences were caused by the same demon from the first one as it hunted down Hunter. Of course, as typical with haunted house films, the kids are the ones that experience these occurrences and the parents are the ones in denial. It then backfires on the parents and they are then forced to believe that they’re being haunted.

The film was clever but had a few tired scares, like the dragging scene and the loud bang noises. Honestly, I didn’t jump on the parts except maybe a couple. I think the only reason I really didn’t enjoy this film was because a bunch of stupid freshman in the theatre were being, well stupid. Also, there was this kid in back of me who was saying all the stuff that was going on in the film. It really pissed me off. I had to restrain myself in my seat because I was so close to jumping to the back and bashing his skull in.

Anyways, the film was clever, as I have mentioned, and I really don’t know which Paranormal Activity was better. I give the film a slight 3 out of 5, and it’s out in theatres but I recommend you wait until it comes out on DVD and Blu-ray.
