I went into this movie having been blown away by Paranormal Activity and expecting much of the same. And for much of the movie, it does live up to its reputation. There is no doubt however that this issue is quite a lot LESS scary than its predecessor; despite having 3-4 cannon scenes, the movie is a long ride of nothing happening. Especially for the first 30 minutes, absolutely nothing happens, and it is well past the half hour mark that we have our first scary scene. The characters are a lot less under developed than the first film, but in a film of such genre, character development is not really needed. The actors however perform their parts admirably. For the rest of us, its a good movie with so much potential that its ridiculous. Do watch it as it is still a right sight better than the other horror films in recent times.
