Good film with enough jumps to keep you awake at night. I had the opportunity to view an advanced screening of this just a few minutes ago (I live in Australia) and I must say, I enjoyed the film.
If you liked the first one, then I can say you'll really like this one. I know the makers of the film were trying to make whole film seem natural, and real and like this is really happening, however, it just felt a little "staged". Yes, I am aware that it's not real, but some of the acting was... Juat satisfactory.
There were moments that left me thinking "when's the next "jump" gonna happen?" Which is what I feel this movie had become; Just a film to make you jump in your seat.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the film, and a few parts made my heart skip a beat. I think that the continuity from the first was good and explained a lot about the first film.
The majority of the film is a prequel, but I guess it's good in a sense as it explains why the events of the first film actually happened.
I think the film was well executed, and wants Me wanting a little more, so maybe Paranormal Activity 3 ? I will say this, I felt some of the effects were a little hard to believe at times, but other than that, I liked it and it made my heart beat fast, which is what I guess the makes were setting out to do. For those who can look past the horror element, there is a believable story behind the whole thing, which I liked.
If you like good supernatural horrors, you'll love this, as long as you don't mind having second thoughts about sleeping alone and with the light off.
I give this film **** out of ***** stars, as it was good film, but didn't quite amaze Me.
Adios ! Y'all
