Paranormal Activity 2 [rated R]
It was inevitable. After last year’s Paranormal Activity did for normal suburban households what Jaws did to the ocean, it was only a matter of time before the massively successful horror film received the sequel treatment. Set three months before the events of the first film, Paranormal Activity 2 focuses on Katie’s sister, who has just bought a new home in the same neighborhood as Micah and Katie. Oren Peli, the director of the first film, returns as the producer this time around as Tod Williams sits in the director’s chair.
