Suffers from some of the same flaws as the first, but with much improved pacing, a less repetitive structure, and more interesting characters (and more frightening scares, to boot). Also, lots of cleavage, which makes me wonder how Roger Ebert didn't give it at least 2.5 stars.

Same score I gave the first. It's a little more professional and better-paced, with more varied characters, but lacks the freshness of the original while being similarly reliant on jump scares above all else. (However, if Katie Featherston had revealed her breasts, I would have given it a 100 and declared it the cinematic masterpiece of 2010.)

A sequel to a movie that didn't need to have a sequel. Unoriginal, uninteresting, unbelievably boring. This movie takes everything that was enjoyable and scary about the first film, then just repeats it verbatim. Unlike the first however, there is an attempt at developing the plot (the demon is owed a baby for the family's wealth) but the movie would have been better off without it, it clashes with the plot of the first movie as the demon's motives now seem ambiguous and random.

Entirely redundant, unless you count the newly included racism (not only can Mexicans clean and babysit, they also keep out those pesky demons!). The end unexpectedly throws an interesting moral kink into the mix, but the film can't quite pull it off. Disappointing.

PA went pro, divided the narrative through several cameras and, unfortunately, also lightened the chills. Still, it serves as a nice sequel, delivers a [REC]-frenetic-like but less scary finale and it's got that amateur, voyeuristic freshness.

The elusive "horror sequel that doesn't suck." We don't get these too often, but when we do, I applaud them. While it doesn't contain the freshness of the original, this sequel manages to out-creep its predecessor. The basement angle was really a great idea, and I loved how the story interwove with that of the first one.

Top badass moment? The pool cleaner needs its own show. Better made than PA1 but less scary, this is a film all about a perfect family with a big house and swimming pool. And you know, it’s probably jealousy, but I’m quite glad they got screwed over by a demon. Even their back story failed to make me feel sorry for them. They left too many lights on at night too; trashing the planet even as they slept. But it was great to see Katie again; she's soo cute. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

First one jumped to conclusions, this one draws it out. It had better looking and more interesting scare scenes but it annoyed me to no end that there was exactly zero difference between the build-up and structure from the first one. Even the god damn Ouija board scene comes at the same point as the last one! The acting was once again mediocre, except from the baby and the dog; see what I mean? PA2 suffers from being quite boring despite the scares, and the ending just falls flat on its face.

In essence a carbon-copy of the first film - simply replacing a young couple with a young family - PA2 offers nothing new whatsoever and is likely to disappoint even ardent fans of the original due to the tedious predictability of it all. There are many worse horror movies out there, but this is still just an unashamed cash-in.

Oh crap. What a big dissapointment. The build-up is so slow, just one hour of watching anything move (nothing does...). Only the kitchen-scene is great. The last 20 minutes are interesting, but go too fast. Explaining the events in after-titles usually means it's a bad film. And a bad film it is. If you're into this kind of movies, watch the first one, not this junk.

I hate EVERYTHING about this film. I came so close to storming out of the cinema with this one, which I never do. I really cannot find anything positive to say about it apart from the fact it isn't as soul destroying as the "remake" of "Day of the Dead". Definitely one of the worst mainstream horror sequels of all time.

Awful. The film ignores the themes and constructs of the first film just to replace them with cheap scares and bad effects. Instead of evolving on a simple idea Paranormal Activity 2 attempts to "one up" its predecessor all the while wrapping scenes with an overall sense of franchise continuity which leads nowhere. I don't look forward to watching the third instalment.

Disappointing. Since we know what to expect from the first, it's annoying that the makers don't even try and shake it up a little bit. It's the same stuff with a slightly more interesting family dynamic and a cool dog. Nice that it ties into the first one in a sorta logical way, but I'm here for the scares, not some connect-the-dots family history. And the (few!) scares we got were uninteresting and predictable. And what a bland ending. Bleh.

More cameras, more characters, more effects, more background information, and more of the same. Despite the technical improvements, it was actually less successful than the original. It maintained the same flaws (annoying characters, cliched plot, and a lack of editing), but all the additions took a way the tight focus and small scale that allowed the first to work.

The bottom line is that it's lesser than the first in almost every way. I felt the pacing wasn't as good (I appreciated the slow build in the first), and while there were some really good scares, it felt cheaper than the first. I was more invested in the characters this time around. It's still a good movie, for the same reasons as the first but to a lesser extent, though it suffers from lacking the mystery of the first and being redundant.

It doesn't have the same UMPH as the first one, let's get that out there right away. At the same time, re-doing this same idea is still so much better than 90% of the other horror that's out there, it's totally forgivable that the sequel is less atmospheric and arguably cheaper in the way it goes about trying to scare you. I liked the dynamic of the family very much, and I was quite interested in the logic behind the demon's appearance; the first movie just makes it appear a random occurrence.

Nowhere near as bad as sequels tend to be (certainly no Blair Witch Project 2) but problems abound. What worked in the original just doesn't feel fresh here, even though it's stepped up. PA2 just seems to plod for quite a long time; Its text, though ably delivered, is just too familiar; the thicker plot, with the demon now having a motive, is detrimental; and the ending just looks like laziness. Thankfully, 3 is much better.

Kinda boring for the first 70 minutes, scary for about 15 (even though they had to rip off REC and The Blair Witch in the same scene to do it), then really cheesy for the last 5. So many plot holes. Yet somehow, it almost works. Much like the first one, lots of wasted potential. Also, I'd really like to see some more jailbait roles for Molly Ephraim, thanks Hollywood.

Very little activity of any sort for most of the film and when things begin to happen towards the finale, it's so poorly shot you can't tell what's happening. The found footage genre is no excuse for terrible angles and poor direction when films like [REC] are genius in their execution of the style.

The first paranormal activity was all build up, a slow piling of things that were just off. The sequel by stark contrast is larger and louder in the worst ways: a bigger cast, a bigger house and louder thumps in the night. The central gimmick of creepy voyeurism through security cameras works; while at the same time putting a wall between the audience and the scares, lacking the immediate tension of the first person perspective. Improved acting, but thats it.

A sound disappointment after the nerve-rending suspense of the first installment. Most of the movie plays out like a bad series of home movies, and the "demon"'s actions seem more like a run of childish pranks, or perhaps the antics of a bad roommate. By the end of the movie my patience had run dry and what could have been a memorable ending seemed boring and, simply put, disappointing. Go ahead and watch if you saw the first. Otherwise, pass; newcomers will find nothing of note here.

Gostei do primeiro Paranormal Activity, pelo ambiente realmente aterrador que proporcionava, mas a sua sequela e um bocado inutil e nao e minimamente assustadora.

Damn, couldn't they have made it like the first, with just one camera?? The extra cameras really made the movie less interesting because more of the noises are explained and you dont get the feeling everyone is locked in one small room, but in one big house.. which takes away from the scare effect. Dumb idea. I laughed when at the 'floating baby scene'. I really liked the ending though!!!!

Spooky sequel is a good time killer, but lacks the visceral energy (and acute sense of growing menace) that made the first film great. Performers are fine, the last half is often hair-raisingly scary, but set-up and execution often feels contrived in spite of the effective jump-scares.

Once again, did not expect to like this movie, even though I enjoyed the first. Surprise again! It's not a rehash. They do some very creative things with the scares, and even manage to tie the story elements between the two movies pretty well. Loved the dog, he's the most convincing actor by far. I actually felt kind of bad for it... that dog sounded legitimately frightened at times. Look forward to seeing PA3!

First one had more impact. I usually enjoy a long build-up of tension, but, my god almost nothing happens in this movie. Do you like watching in-ground pools being vacuumed?

A more interesting family to watch than the first film. Interesting dynamic with the dog, baby, and the teenage girl. A whole bunch of nothing happens for most of the film, though, with the last twenty minutes being the only interesting bit. I like the tie-in with the first film, but a lot of what happens is more of the same, and the first movie certainly has an edge in that department.

Too much boring white people being scared by ghosts, cool ideas with some of the startles while again most of the movie is just reliant on things slightly moving at night to create tension that is wholly reliant on people knowing what genre the movie is, the acting and dialogue was off-putting and too bad so much focuses on the interactions between family members. The movie did leave me pretty creeped out and I do quite like the movie not relying on exposition while delivering a coherent story.

Given that this is the sort of project greenlit on the strength of the opening weekend numbers of the original rather than because the filmmakers had a burning desire to tell the story, it's not a bad job. But only time will reveal it as a franchise killer like Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 or a springboard for a hardy series like Saw II.

This movie had the slowest start EVER! I actually checked and the first sort of freaky thing that happened was at the 53 minute mark. Otherwise you are just watching a lot of home videos from a not very exciting family. Once they got over the hump of boring-ness the movie got a lot better. The scares were plentiful toward the end and I really liked the twists that end up being in these movies. It's a great series but they need to make sure and put a little more tension straight away.

I gave it this high a score because that characters are moderately likeable this time, the twist is clever, and the haunted pool cleaner is the funniest thing I've seen in a horror movie in a long time.

Even knowing what's likely to come-the doors opening on their own, the skeptical characters scoffing at metaphysical explanations, the unheeded warnings from paranormally gifted guests-doesn't make it any less nailbiting to watch.

If I didn't watch the first one first I might've liked this more but since this is just a slightly less stretched out version of basically the same movie it sucks.

Do you think Oren Peli is in cahoots with sports games developers? They're both good at delivering the same product every year for more money.

The ghost in this movie isn't scary, he's just a dick. Pulling their pool rover out of the pool? That's just petty.

The original wasn't really good enough to warrant a sequel. It was a one-trick pony that a lot of people seemed to like. This stinks of a rushed cash-in based on the unexpected success of the original. It's really just the same film again, but more bad than before.

Alright, trying to add plot to the series. Explain some stuff. It doesn't really do it. But maybe a little bit?

Bigger budget doesn't mean better film. Same format, missing all authenticity and originality. Rinse, repeat.

It's slightly better than the first thanks to some clever additions, plus there are definitely more scares. One for the Horror fans!

Where it improved on the first film, in the long run didn't really matter much.

Why would a demon spend so much time and energy haunting the family when all it wants is the male child? Just take the effing kid and go, there's no need to be scary, or close/open doors and cabinets for no reason.

The first movie all over again, with nothing really new. The only difference is that this one is much worse.

A lot like the first but worse in every way. The unlikeability issues of the characters from the first film are much stronger here, and the build up is much longer, which makes it all the worse. It's still creepy but the pacing and events feel much more manufactured for the audience rather than organic to the narrative structure. It also ties in to the theatrical ending of the first film, which means the ending here goes from interesting to stupid.

Paranormal Activity 2 is an improvement on the first in all way except general execution. The less-is-more style and approach is gone. And what were left with is a marginally well acted but totally forgettable horror found footage sequel.

Jump Scare: The Movie. It doesn't even have an iota of the tension the original has, which was thin to begin with.

Just the first one but a little worse. There's some originality issues here, for sure. PA2 just doesn't do what the first did on such a smaller budget. It's not as tense, unnerving, or unsettling, just blander.
