Preview: Paranormal Activity 2 (2010)

Synopsis:

The sequel to the popular supernatural horror flick about the paranormal events that can be recorded from one stationary camera. Here, the plan seems to be to use more cameras.

• Poster: D+

Review:

There's an entire lack of finesse or excitement. It's antithetical to the desired effect.

• Trailer: C-; B-

Review:

More isn't always better and while I found the first trailer incredibly creepy and unnerving, this trailer just looks like a carbon copy without the chills or thrills.

A definite improvement over the first trailer, this one really targets parents and those who fear for the safety of children. It's not as spine-tingly interesting as the first film's trailer, but it may do better at pulling back the audience that made the first a hit.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
