Undoubtedly, the first and most relevant question to ask about Paranormal Activity 2 is: how scary is it in regard to its predecessor? For horror fans and the legion of viewers terrified by Oren Peli's POV supernatural chiller, the answer is, to echo the quote on the sequel's poster, that your sleepless nights are about to return. Part of the reason for its success is that PA2 hews to the old principle that if it's not broken, don't fix it, so the action here also unfolds via hours of camera footage, stitched together to resemble a documentary. It's also a prequel to the first film, taking place several months before PA1, and focusing on Kristi (Sprague Grayden), the sister of PA1's ill-fated heroine, Katie (Katie Featherston), who also returns here. Seems that the demonic force that pursued Katie also had designs on Kristi, and its relentless assault on her, husband Daniel (Brian Boland), and, most unnervingly, their new son Hunter unfolds in a barrage of quiet-quiet-jump! moments that should have most audience members clutching their seats or movie mates throughout the running time. As a pure scare machine, Paranormal Activity 2 is as well-oiled as the first picture, with director Tod Williams (Door in the Floor) innately grasping the inherent chills of strange things happening in static camera images; if there's any complaint to be had, it's over the family maid, who hews too closely to the stereotype of superstitious ethnic servant. That quibble aside, one can expect to get a serious workout for the nerves from Paranormal Activity. --Paul Gaita

Ce film est un de mes favoris par son style et par son côté paranormal très développé. Ça donne l'impression que ce sont de vrais vidéos maison dans ce film.

Better than the first. FREAKED ME OUT,
By EnergyBeing11:11 "Energy Being" - Published on Amazon.com
I have to say, this was better than the first and I thought for sure it would be predictable (which in some respects it is) but if a horror movie can make me jump three times, then I like it. This was excellent in that respect. There were some scenes that gave me goose bumps or toward the end just totally freaked me out. It was just the right recipe of low budget but still kept a level of some believable moments. I've seen a lot of horror movies over the last thirty years so not much can truly scare me. I sit and laugh through the exorcist films. This movie was different... it actually scared me. I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. Odd enough, as low budget as it is, I have to admit it's a fantastic concept with a great scare reaction for the vast target audience. Who ever put these series together has a brilliant and effective ROI. This movie hits the mark.
