![]() If you didn't like the first film, just skip this sequel. It's just as anti-climatic and disappointing coming off from a huge buildup. However, the sequel does have the same main problem of PA: The ending. Please, just spare the baby and the dog! I'm also glad to say that the climax is much better than the one in the first film, if you could even call it a climax in that film. Don't you just hate that feeling of dread? Most of the cast do a great job because they are more innocent than the victims in the first film, including a baby and a dog. It's also agonizing to see things move on their own that our characters don't notice. However, the film still retains the slow buildup of scares in PA as the film reaches to the end, where all hell breaks loose. ![]() It's apparent while watching the film that PA2 relies more on jump scares than on maintaining an atmosphere like PA, which may be good or bad news depending on which you prefer more. However, saying that, the film does have some very scary scenes, even more so than the simple scares in the original. In this film, I'm not going to even mention what they do. The scares were limited to doors creaking, lights flickering, and footsteps thumping. What made PA so great was its amazing simplicity. But, as you all know, bigger sometimes isn't better, and, in this case, it's true. With a much higher budget, PA2 boasts a bigger cast and has more elaborate scares and security cameras to capture the events. Fortunately, PA2 is actually a worthwhile sequel that retains everything that made the original scary. I mean, the only person in the casting list is Katie Featherston, who plays Katie, which is still pretty vague. Either Paramount was trying to keep a tight lid on it or it must be a really, really bad sequel. Then the trailers were released, which weren't really special, and the film wasn't screened to the critics. Let's be honest, it felt like they were trying to cash in on the surprising success of PA. When Paramount announced that they were going to do a sequel to PA, I was skeptical. After experiencing what they think are a series of "break-ins", a family sets up security cameras around their home, only to realize that the events unfolding before them are more sinister than they seem.
