Paranormal Activity 2

NOT AS GOOD AS NUMBER 1 AND SUFFERED WITH PACING PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT. IT JUST DIDN'T QUITE HAVE THE SAME BUZZ AND INTEREST AS THE 1ST ONE AND THE DAD IN THIS ONE WAS A COMPLETE DOUCHE WHICH DIDN'T HELP MATTERS EITHER. I DID LOVE HOW EVER HOW THIS TIED STRAIGHT IN WITH THE 1ST ONE. AND AS A PREQUEL I DID THINK IT WORKED WELL. BUT I NEVER THOUGHT ONCE THAT NUMBER 1 DRAGGED IT OUT WHERE IN PARTS I THOUGHT THIS DID. IT JUST SEEMED LONG NOTHINGS BETWEEN SOMETHINGS, WHICH NUMBER 1 NEVER HAD THAT PROBLEM. I LOOK VERY VERY MUCH FORWARD TO PART 3 P.A 1 7/10 P.A 2 6/10

**Paranormal Activity 2 (2010)**: ***6.6/10*** *(Fair, Above Average)* ___ While “Paranormal Activity 2” improves upon the original in a few areas, the film’s underwhelming conclusion ultimately brings it down. The first “Paranormal Activity” was more effective because of its slower but steadily increasing levels of tension and unease; this time around, the tempo is a little over the place. The story isn’t bad on its own, but it falls apart as soon as you connect it with the original. The first film had a more intriguing concept, with a demon nearly showing affection towards Katie, rather than the same old pact with the devil nonsense this one has going on. As a standalone film, Paranormal Activity 2 is a passable horror flick that, like its predecessor, excels at keeping things straightforward. If you liked the first film in the Paranormal Activity franchise, you’d appreciate this one just as much, and even if you didn’t, you might want to give it a go because it’s different enough to appeal to those who didn’t enjoy the previous one.
