At the end of the movie, some viewers still couldn't get over the fear in "Paranormal Activity 2".

Even if the lights in the cinema are on, they can't give some people warmth or comfort.

Barbara hugged Short tightly.

"Why do I still feel scared and nervous even though the lights are on?"

Short noticed that Barbara's body temperature was relatively low, and he didn't know whether it was due to the air conditioner or the shock.

"I don't know either. This second part is really scary. However, I don't feel the way you said. I shouldn't be scared anymore when the lights are on."

Cross replied from the side:

"That's because of the terrifying impact at the end of the film. Just like the first film, there don't seem to be any scary scenes in the front, but the psychological pressure has been creating a terrifying atmosphere. By the end of the film, these pressures are like popping a balloon with a needle.

Same. Use extremely fast speed to release all the fear accumulated before, forming a shock effect. This will make some people with insufficient psychological endurance still feel insecure even if the lights are on and they see many people around them.

."

Following the flow of people, the four of them slowly walked out. Along the way, many people said that they had not yet calmed down.

Soon, fans who had watched the premiere were commenting online.

"Too beautiful!"

“It’s really scary!”

"I'm not afraid of refunding the money. As I said, it's up to Wen Zhiren and Werner to decide whether to refund, haha!"

"The rhythm is almost the same as the first one, and the ending of the film is extremely scary."

Soon, professional film reviews also came out.

"Daily Entertainment" movie review:

""Paranormal Activity 2" adopts the same rhythm and story as the first part, continuing the troubled and frightening home experience. Compared with the first part, the second part adds more characters and makes more victims

Take the audience to experience the scary atmosphere.

Judging from the creation of a scary atmosphere and scare methods, it continues the style of the first part, and tries its best to prevent these techniques from appearing old-fashioned or repetitive with the first part.

The addition of young children to the characters arouses maternal love in the audience, and adds points of terror and rhythm, making the audience not only afraid but also worried.

The addition of a daughter to the role allowed the male protagonist to change. A clue was also drawn from the daughter's inquiry as to why this happened.

And this clue can lead to the third part. One decryption can be split into the third part.

The increase in characters allows us to see that "Paranormal Activity 2" incorporates some techniques from the "Insidious" series.

It makes people feel that each part is interconnected and connected. The appearance of the devil has a reason, not isolated or without reason.

Speaking of not being isolated, there seems to be some flavor of the "Death is Coming" series here.

Looking further up, it seems to have some shadow of "Midnight Ring".

It can be said that Wen Zhiren and Werner, who have deeply understood the essence of horror movies, have released several wonderful horror movies to movie fans, and this one "Paranormal Activity 2" is still at the same level.

The whole film seems to have a slow plot, but in fact it makes people constantly nervous. It also maintains the style of the previous film and does not let the devil appear, but it makes people even more frightened.

This sense of terror gradually tightens, and suddenly explodes at the end of the film, severely knocking down those moviegoers who pursue evil fun and terror.

"Paranormal Activity 2" is still a creepy horror movie!"

Film review of "Entertainment Hao Lai Hu":

"There are very few people who can focus on horror films like Wen Zhiren and Werner.

It’s not that some directors don’t want to, it’s that they can’t do it.

Wen Zhiren and Werner seem to have mastered the secret code of horror movies. Except for one failure, every one of them has been a huge success and the box office is so good that it makes people jealous.

The one that failed, maybe their initial epic success made them want to change and get better. But they didn't know how to do that, and instead lost what they were good at. It was equivalent to losing the horror movie code they had mastered.

Fortunately, they changed it in time, continued the style and routine of "Blair Witch", and developed and upgraded it.

It can be seen that the "Paranormal Activity 2" series and "Blair Witch" both focus on the accumulation of psychological pressure, and cleverly take advantage of the audience's anxiety, complaints and impatience when watching movies. These negative emotions are

Introduced into the movie story, it explodes at the end of the movie, impacting the audience's psychological bottom line.

In the film, at least five plots are designed to make the audience jump out of their seats in fear while watching it. This kind of accumulation of terrifying emotions is difficult to compare with other horror films.

In the end, it brought the audience deep despair.

In the cinema, many viewers were still feeling lingering after the lights were turned on. Yes, "Paranormal Activity 2" brought a lot of fear to people in the end."

"Horror World" movie review:

""Paranormal Activity 2" continues the style of the first part. It is very clear that although some of the techniques and routines of this series are similar to the "Insidious" series, they are taking a different horror route.

The "Insidious" series is different from other horror films in that it incorporates family affection and the spirit of resistance. Even in the face of fear, there is still a glimmer of hope in the hearts of the audience.

The "Mobile: Ghost Record" series has determined the style of this series, there is no hope, only despair.

We can compare "Paranormal Activity 2" with "Insidious 1". Both involve young children, and the target of the devil is also young children, but the focus of the two horror films is different.

The plot of "Insidious 1" is more complicated. The devil not only attacks the child, but also threatens the child's mother (the heroine).

"Paranormal Activity 2" is different. The plot is relatively simple, and the audience does not need to think hard. The devil does not target children, but only the heroine.

Different methods produce different horror effects. In "Paranormal Activity 2", the audience is always worried about when the devil will attack young children.

What is different from the first film is that when the male protagonist holds a cross covered with olive oil and presses it on the female protagonist to drive away the devil, everyone thinks that everything is solved and the film should end.

But Nanny Martini burned the heroine's sister's childhood photos, which reminds people of the burned photo Katie found in her attic in the first movie.

Just when the audience thought this was just an explanation of why things happened like that in the first movie, the final horror came.

Katie, who was possessed by the devil, arrived and immediately killed the male protagonist, leaving the audience no time to think or react.

Then he got rid of the heroine, picked up the baby Hunter and left.

In addition to being frightened, the audience also felt deep despair."

"Global Cinema World" film review:

"As the only ones who can beat Wu Lung's film performance, Wen Zhiren and Werner brought us "Paranormal Activity 2".

It can be said that "Paranormal Activity 2" exceeded the expectations of movie fans. Everyone said it was very good and very scary.

However, "Paranormal Activity 2" is still inevitable, confirming the rule that sequels are not as good as the first.

What kind of psychological pressure continues to accumulate, and what kind of critical moment at the end of the film.

That's just the rhetoric used by the touts to cover up the plot too slowly.

The story is too simple, resulting in a lot of repetition and unnecessary delays.

For horror fans who have watched the first film, this is a horror film that lacks tension and surprise.

The horror points inside are all expected by horror fans.

The lack of new ideas is the biggest failure of "Paranormal Activity 2"."

The North American box office of "Paranormal Activity 2" opened high but then declined in its first week. One week after its release, the North American box office only reached over US$60,000.

This result is much lower than that of the first film. From this, it can be predicted that the total global box office of "Paranormal Activity 2" should be less than that of the first film.

"It seems that Brother Long is right. Even if the production cost increases, the box office will be less than the first one." Wen Zhiren was a little sad.

Who doesn’t want to see each movie they make better than the last?

However, the reality is so cold and cruel.

Warner was not that sad and tried to persuade Wen Zhiren.

"This is the law of the movie market. Even if you can occasionally beat this law, it does not mean that you can go against the law every time. The first one came out and it was fresh. Horror fans have never seen such a form and technique. Naturally,

I like to watch it and promote it. When the second part comes out, it no longer has that freshness, and it is inevitable that the performance will drop."

"However, after saying this, I still feel bad in my heart. I feel ashamed of Brother Long's cultivation."

"It's because you have higher requirements for yourself than others. Think about it, those films with a box office of 60,000 US dollars in the first week, which cost tens of millions to produce, are not as good as us. You are here to be sad, and let those films that have a box office in the first week not be as good as us.

What do the directors and film companies think?"

"Where do you put them?"

"You must not say outside that the box office is not ideal or anything like that. It is easy to offend those whose box office is not as good as ours."

Wen Zhiren smiled.

"You are really good at persuading people."

"The Fast and the Furious 2" has ended its screening and is about to be released, with the global box office reaching more than 330 million US dollars!

This is nearly $50 million more than the global box office of "The Fast and the Furious" of more than $280 million.

However, the production cost of "Fast and Furious 2" was much higher than that of the first film. If the cost is deducted, the result of "Fast and Furious 2" is only more than 10 million US dollars more than the first film.

Such achievements have excited the three automobile companies Mineta, Sanling and Nissan.

The end of the film also means that the promotional impact of the film has weakened.

The entertainment media and film critics once again commented on "Fast and Furious 2" to gain the last wave of popularity.
