Editorial Reviews

"Paranormal Activity 2 is as groundbreaking as the original."* Just as Dan and Kristi welcome a newborn baby into their home, a demonic presence begins terrorizing them, tearing apart their perfect world and turning it into an inescapable nightmare. Security cameras capture the torment, making every minute horrifyingly real. Critics warn to "say good-bye to sleep"** as Paranormal Activity 2 will haunt you long after it's shocking final scene. ** Joseph McCabe, FEARnet.com ** IAMROGUE

Paranormal Activity benefits from a slightly larger budget, but suffers from not being as unique as the first. The story is a prequel and sequel, it wraps around the original story and adds more layers to it. It is good and has some decent scares. If you loved the first movie, then I think this is a must for you.

3.0 out of 5 stars "Funny" Activity..., January 29, 2011

This review is from: Paranormal Activity 2 (Unrated Director's Cut Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) (Blu-ray)

The first paranormal activity blew me away...it was intriguing, creepy as hell, and believable. The Prequel...Not so much. Paranormal activity 2 has its flaws. First of all the setting, felt like a rerun of MTV'S "The Hills." Not enough confined space, opposed to the first one. Secondly, the first forty five minutes or so is a total drag, many boring scenes. There wasn't enough questioning the demonic force, or researching it to be known even after strange events start happening. The characters didn't seem believable, until the second act of the film...where it actually picks up and isn't such a total bore fest! I thought the concept of the movie was great, just not enough action, and a little too much humor between the characters for my tastes. Just like the Quija board scene, that would have been creepy if it had the affect the first one did. The girl wasn't even acknowledging that her baby brothers name was being spelled out, and was cracking jokes about the word vagina. I blame the writers for that though. There are however some creepy scenes towards the end of the film, nothing spectacular although. More or less, the same as the first in that sense. This one definitely did not mount the horror, or the dread, night after night, leading up to the occurrences like the first one did. The best part in the movie is the ending with Katie, have no complaints about that. And what about the dog? Never did find out if it was okay, after the attack by the demon...oh well, too many loose ends in this underrated prequel. Hope the film makers go back to the basics with the third, and make it a noteworthy sequel... PARANORMAL ACTIVITY *** STARS OUT OF FIVE. Last thoughts?...Okay, but just mediocre.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Creepiness Continues, March 25, 2011

This review is from: Paranormal Activity 2 (Unrated Director's Cut Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) (Blu-ray)

The Good -- This movie builds the suspense nicely. Whereas the first movie was practically non-stop chills, this one doles out the creepiness in little doses, increasing the fright until the inevitable end.

The male lead here doesn't act like such an jerk like the male lead in the first movie. I appreciated that greatly.


The Bad -- While not essential, watching the prequel beforehand will really enhance the complete viewing experience. Events in the prequel are referenced and will make more sense after watching this one. On its own, Paranormal Activity 2 is good, but not great.

Another stain on this decent film is that the family installs security cameras throughout their house, but only check the footage occasionally, therefore not validating their individual supernatural experiences. That's just dumb.


The Ugly -- Comparisons between this and the first movie are bound to exist. While watching this one, I kept expecting scary things to happen because, after all, they did in the first one. Watching the first one to compliment each other is a double-edged sword because neither now stand on their own. However, that's not enough to downgrade this movie to a lower rating.
