I'll say it. Paranormal Activity is one of the most overrated franchises of the decade. I feel like so much of the praise that goes to these movies is based solely on the idea of it being "different" and lacking in just about any type of gore or blood. I'll take 90 minutes of people getting ripped apart any time over this new type of "documentary" type horror. Paranormal Activity 2 is dull as fuck.
I'm all for a good scary movie about ghosts that doesn't need to use gore to get the point across. Hell, "The Others" is one of my favorite horror movies of all time and I can't recall a single drop of blood being shed. The problem is that PA2 is all style, no substance. The novelty wears off thin and after a while you realize...this is all you're getting. Call me a hater, but once you've seen something move on camera...it gets old. Paranormal Activity 2 is literally nothing but slamming doors and camera shots of pure nothingness.
Besides the dull pace and lack of thrills, this movie is totally unbelievable in terms of performances and characters. All of the acting is totally ridiculous, hammy, and as a result...just makes the entire movie even harder to take seriously. And the characters are fucking retarded. I have no sympathy or interest in people themselves to become their ghosts' bitches without even doing shit in return. If shit breaks or is moved constantly in your house.....GET THE FUCK OUT. Stupid.
Paranormal Activity 2 is a tedious, poorly-acted and directed piece of pretentious trash. Nothing happens. Frights are M.I.A. People are dumb and totally get what's coming to them. The performances are lame. And the 100 minute length feels like it will take 100 years to end. Cheers to part three.
