Paranormal Activity 2





5 stars
Instead of beginning where the first film left off, we start several months earlier.  We are introduced to a family that is bringing home an infant named Hunter for the first time.  Their home got destroyed a few days later but nothing valuable was missing or stolen.  Daniel, (Brian Boland) and Christe, ( Sprague Grayden) hired experts to install security cameras throughout the house to keep an eye on events.  Bizarre events start to happen at night, but the family tries to keep their sanity together.  Christe and Daniel went out one night and left their daughter Ali, (Molly Ephraim) to babysit Hunter till they get back.  A few hours went by and this “bang” sound happened outside the front door while Ali is walking up the stairs.  She went to go check to see what it was or who it was.  As she steps outside to check it out, the door slams behind her and locks her out.  That part of the movie was freaky.  One of my favorite parts is when Christe is sitting in the kitchen reading something and you hear this loud sound.  The cabinets all slammed open at the same time.  It was crazy.  The family had a German shepherd that protected them.  This night was scary because somehow it looked like someone shoved the dog into something and the dog was really hurt.  So, Ali and Daniel took there dog to the hospital, leaving Christe all by herself in that house.  When Christe went to check on Hunter, she was dragged halfway down the stairs, but she got away from whatever it was.  When she made it to the top again, she got dragged down the stairs to the basement and the door slammed shut behind her.  To find out what happens at the end, you’ve got to watch this paranormal movie.  This movie gives you the midnight willies.

  1. Sounds horrible! :) In a good way.

    Sarah, remember the purpose of this blog is NOT to summarize. Instead you need to review the film. What worked? What didn't? How was the acting? The special effects? What about the plot? Was it believable? What was the best part of the film? The worst?
