Kristi, her husband and their two children have recently moved to a large and beautiful house. Their initial happiness and calm is destroyed when their new home is savagely vandalized. Not only can they not find a plausible explication for the occurrence, but other increasingly worrisome things happen - especially at night - despite six cameras being installed throughout the house. Soon the whole family is caught in a web of fear and doubt.

After the commercial and media success of the original, the makers of Paranormal Activity 2 are using the same marketing and buzz tactics, the same sound and visual effects, to try and terrorize their audience. The result works only partly, given that audiences can only be surprised once, making the moments everyone jumps in their seats rare. At least the larger budget made for more camera angles and onscreen action. So much the better, because the movie tends toward the boring!
