Paranormal Activity 2 Ratings & Reviews
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
The good ol' child-in-peril gimmick is the only new thing offered by Tod Williams' follow-up to Oren Peli's 2007 hit.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Like Oren Peli, who created the first film, director Tod Williams keeps the dialogue So-Cal dumb and colorless, which must be part of the scare plan but makes both these movies hard to sit through.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
...reaffirms familiar scare tactics...taps into a certain kind of eeriness implicit in the threat to suburban domesticity, which was precisely what made "Poltergeist" so frightening back in the day.
Slant Magazine
Simon Abrams
Anyone watching Paranormal Activity 2 closely enough will see that the transitions between different cameras in the film isn't motivated by any internal logic but rather a narrative one.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
It's not hell, but it's close.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The level of restraint on display here is phenomenal, the tension ratcheting up in spades as we got nearer and nearer the end.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Even knowing what's likely to come -- the doors opening on their own, the skeptical characters scoffing at metaphysical explanations, the unheeded warnings from paranormally gifted guests -- doesn't make it any less nailbiting to watch.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
It's simultaneously a lot more expensive and a lot cheaper.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Demons of mediocrity, be gone! Here we have a shrewd sequel a touch better than the original.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
What's unusual about these movies is that we know those scares are coming, and the filmmakers' drawn-out approach makes them even more effective when they finally arrive.
TIME Magazine
Mary F. Pols
he jolts, when they come, are bigger, causing actual physical thrills and chills, at least for me.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Cannily marketed as a collective experience, the Paranormal franchise works best in midnight screenings. The hunger for cold, dead chills is usually best indulged in the company of warm, living bodies.
Dallas Morning News
Joy Tipping
The filmmakers up the ante here with the addition of a smart teenage girl, an adorable toddler and a protective (but freaked-out) German shepherd named Abby.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
If you're looking for wicked fun this Halloween, Paranormal Activity 2 is the best goosebump game in town.
Film.com
Eric D. Snider
Succeeds by giving us another dose of what worked the first time.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Technically accomplished in its fake video-verite style but artistically bankrupt.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
As any patient, malevolent spirit would tell you, if it ain't broke, break it at just the right moment.
CNN.com
Tom Charity
Even if it's never quite as chillingly, insidiously real, the sequel -- if that's the right word -- intersects with the first film in a pleasingly malevolent fashion that creeps up on you as the time-code ticks by.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie numbers the days as they tick away, and along about Day #12 I'm thinking, why are these people still here?
