Last night, i watched the follow-up to last years' horror hit, Paranormal Activity with a couple of my mates. After thinking that their house was broken into, a family sets up security cameras in various areas inside and outside their house so they can view what is happening while they sleep. Just like in the first, they experience things that cannot be explained.
The acting was quite good, by everyone, no one really stood out for me. I like how the father thinks that there's nothing wrong, although he does seem smart and one who isn't afraid. The mother could've been a lesser afraid character, not just one who runs around screaming when all her pantry doors open unexpectedly (even though that's what I'd do). I would've liked to seen a lot more of Martine, she seemed like an important character at the beginning but didn't have much impact in the end, but it's pretty obvious that they never should've gotten rid of her.
The first half felt dull and repetitive, but the movie showed a lot more in the second, resulting in an all-out fright fest. The ending felt disappointingly lazy, as Katie could've used a much more creative way of killing the husband, rather than just snapping his neck. (e.g: the husband has a wound gushing out of his torso and then Katie appears with a knife stabbing him). Overall a decent fright fest with one scare in particular that will leave you hating complete silence when your on your own in the middle of the day.
