Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

TMTheoM This is not as good as the first film, as some parts drag on a little and it can be considered by some as boring. But all the acting is excellent and so are the scares, although not as frightening as the first. I would still recommend this movie to any die-hard fans of the first, as there are some aspects to this movie that stand out and work very well.

lorcan-61881 Paranormal activity was a huge success to the world but for me,I did not really care for it,it was boring,nothing actually happened but as for this,this..is brilliant. Paranormal Activity 2 is a prequel to the first film taking place a few months back and how SPOILER FOR THE FIRST FILM Katie became possessed. This film was actually the first Paranormal Activity film I ever watched and I thought it was horrifyingly creepy,the scene were Katie is violently dragged down the stairs in to the basement and have the demon scream,that was freakin terrifying. Paranormal activity 2 is awesome!!

Python Hyena Paranormal Activity 2 (2010): Dir: Tod Williams / Cast: Sprague Greyden, Brian Bolden, Molly Ephraim, Katie Featherstone, Micah Slout: Worthwhile sequel that displays the same low budget technical intelligence as the original only adding a few new characters to the mix. Taking place prior to the first film, here a family moves in to a big house and have security camera installed after their home is ransacked but nothing stolen. This is all brought together by New director Tod Williams who heightens the suspense gradually as each night grows creepier through the camera. This is effective and works for independent film work without the use of computer graphics. While the first film was no gem, it was an effective breakthrough for fright fans. This sequel is more of the same and it has effective scare moments but it also deals with people who aren't thinking logically. Among the residence are Sprague Greyden and Brian Bolden with their baby Hunter and step-daughter, played by Molly Ephraim. Greyden and Ephrain already feel a presence that isn't right, and Bolden seems to find some sort of logic to conceal any concerns. Katie Featherstone returns as Greyden's sister who urges that any paranormal discussion be ceased. Featherstone is remembered as the female lead of the first film who is also haunted. Micah Slout is more prominently featured in the first film, but here in the prequel he is a reminder of what the future will hold. It seems to contain a better screenplay yet lacking the freshness of the original film, which took independent films to new lows. Score: 6 / 10

austindacosta I am a big, big movies fan. Especially horror movies. I go to the movie theaters very often if not every weekend. I watch them on TV and all, and I am guess lately -- like in the last 10 years -- you could easily say over 80% of the movies produced are pitiful. It is hard to imagine that somebody really went through all the channels: writing a script, pitch to some show-off a-hole agent who will, in turn lick boots until some Hollywood hot shot who like to be treated like a god decides to take the project on 10%-905 profit sharing basis, you know you're the one with the 10% profit deal. And in the end find someone to produce it. and here is PA-2! A disgrace to horror movies fans! A movie I felt asleep and put my DVR to work and I fast-forwarded it like 7 times. I guess I watched 30 minutes. Franchise is the new name for second tier sequels. Good luck. If you have nothing more interesting to do, nothing at all, if it is snowing outside and you have absolutely no book, video game or a pet to spend your time, it is OK. Other than that, it might help you sleep better.
