If you were like me, caught up in the hype around the first Paranormal Activity movie, excited by how such a unique film could have been made with so little money - around $15,000 and therefore less than a week's catering budget on most other films - then like me you will have looked forward to Paranormal Activity 2.
The premise is strikingly similar: family hears noises and suspects a ghost, installs cameras around the house, ghost (or worse) manifests itself, horror ensues.
This one cost $2.75m to make. The money must've gone on renting a fancier house, because everything else is pretty much the same as the first time around.
Genuinely creepy, and at times scary. But in the end, nowhere near as ground-breaking as numero uno.
