"Paranormal Activity 2" Review

I finally had a chance to see this movie last night and all I can say is "Ugh." I thought it was horrible. I admit I liked the first if for nothing else than the effects; the spontaneous burning Ouija board, the footprints in the baby powder, and the many shadow figures that truly made it feel creepy and as if a demonic presence was really there.
But this movie was hardly inspirational except in name only. Compared to the first I just didn't like it at all. For one the premise was exactly the same, as well as the character "development" right down to a "T," except this time instead of BF/GF the two characters were married. Wife tries to convince her dick husbad that there is something going on in the house. Dick husband calls woman crazy and denies anything is going on; same exact premise as the first. At least in the first movie the actors came across more sincere. Here it just felt like the actors were going through the motions and were just playing the part and they knew it. The effects were so-so and relied more on big bang moments to scare you rather than the more subtle moments from the first.

The only slightly redeeming quality of this movie was how they linked it to the first by having the main characters be sisters, and how it took place roughly two months before the events in the first film happened. Other than that if you don't see this movie you're not missing much.

I rate this movie 1 out of 5.
