Last year when the first installment of this franchise was put in theaters, it was a huge hit. Plus, it was a great story both on and off the screen. Compelling movie making, and all done for about 15 grand in the movie makers house.
Seems that making another one of these was ill-advised. How could you possibly catch lightning in a bottle twice. Well, this is a real good flick. PA2, is really surprising.
PA2 successfully weaves in a new story, in conjunction with the first movie, and even shows some of the same characters. It's a sequel, prequel in essence. And to be fair, this movie looks better, moves along better and is far more thrilling than the first. Tough job since you already know the formula, and this style of camcorder view movie making won't be new to you here. But it works.
The full theater was jumping and screaming from time to time, as they would like you to do. It is suspenseful and it knows when to wrap itself up. Well done indeed there as well.
As it was last year, this is a movie that will really appeal to the younger set who want to go to the movies in packs and really get a jolt. It's just Halloween fun, and to it's credit no real violence or blood or gore. It's just preys on what would scare you and then...scares you!
Paranormal Activity 2. For what it is, and when it's out...this is really well done. Tough to sequel this one and they did it. Bravo!
