Paranormal Activity 2 was released nationally on Friday, October 22. Paranormal Activity 2 is rated R for some language and brief violent material.
Katie Featherston returns in the sequel directed by Kip Williams and written by Christopher Landon and Tom Pabst. Paranormal Activity 2 picked up where its original left off and brought in a total of $41.5 million, taking the top spot for the weekend and setting a new record for a horror opening.
The terror continues as a young couple copes with a potentially evil spirit in their suburban home. E! Online reporter Peter Paras said, “The last act ends up delivering, with terrifying moments that raise the bar for modern horror.”
Many critics gave Paranormal Activity 2 the same excellent praise as the original.
USA Today reporter Claudia Puig said, “It has more innocent victims and more scares than its predecessor.”
Following the original, the budget for Paranormal Activity 2 was rock-bottom low at $3 million but still attracting a big audience in spite of the R rating.
Paranormal Activity 2 is one of the best modern-day horror movies. There could have been more dialogue. With all of the events going on throughout the plot, more dialogue would have been necessary to give it a more real effect.
However, I would recommend Paranormal Activity 2 to anyone who likes haunted or science fiction movies because it finished very well. Paranormal Activity 2 deserves four out of five stars; it definitely makes audiences jump and cringe, but more dialogue could have made it scarier.
