The first Paranormal Activity had a budget of $15,000. In the end, it made around $193 million worldwide (that includes almost $108 million domestic). So everyone knew what was bound to happen. Yup, a sequel. So here’s the first official trailer for Paranormal Activity 2. Enjoy…
I went to see the first one alone. It was a pretty fun experience. I mean, the movie isn’t that horrible. It was ok. I’ve always been intrigued by “found footage” films. One of my favorites on that genre is Cloverfield. But since this is horror, I still think it was just ok. There were some scares, but the film dragged too much on some spots. The acting wasn’t half bad either. So am I excited for PA2? Not that much. I’ll probably see it and write about it, but I’m not that into it this time around. For me, since their doing it again, the originality and shock factor are gone.
I do like the camera angles and setup for the new one in this trailer (which by the way, is a teaser!). I like that this time around they have a pool, a dog and a baby – this will make up for some new scares. Plus the tension should be different using these devices – it’ll be higher I bet. I’ll probably watch this, but not that excited.
What about you guys?
