Review of Paranormal Activity 2 (2010) by Ad V — 01 Sep 2012

While the first film was inherently creepy and downright scary in parts this one relies too much on cheap jump scares and explanations. Not to say it's a bad film because it does have it's moments but overall it feels too gimmicky removing me from the real suspense. And then there's the ending which I still can't decide if I liked or not.

Bottom line: It's a decent follow-up that nicely ties into the first but it's just not anywhere as effective as its predecessor.
