What does that guy and his baby, as seen above, have to do with Paranormal Activity 2? Ohhh you just wait and see! Even after sending out creepy viral videos and featuring multiple trailers with hidden footage, there's yet another new trailer for Paranormal Activity 2 that has just debuted. Apple has debuted a full 62 second final theatrical trailer that actually teases the story, not just the gimmicky ghost scares, this time. As you'll see, this is about a family that's being haunted and that damn baby again. I like that it's a new family, and the dog, baby, and pool camera do up the ante, but will the gimmick pay off a second time? Have fun!
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I'm actually very much looking forward to this. The first, while not the scariest movie nor was it winning any cinematography awards, it was a great showing by a first-time director/writer. He showed a very nice knack for drawing out suspense and building tension in a movie and really pacing it all well. Then (using the alternate ending) even did a very good job of capping it all off properly with a very suiting ending to top off that rollercoaster ride of tension and suspense that he took the viewers on throughout the movie. All this done with next to know resources/money (like $15k, shot in his own house). Now while, Oren isn't directing the sequel he is producing it and overseeing the whole project so I would imagine he's going to put plenty of his own touches on it. Though there is the slight worry that Paramount might just feed us garbage in order to simply try to capitalize on the name.
I don't think the first one made all of its money just because of hype. I think it did some very unique things in filmmaking and tried to really create something unique and dynamic in a very tired genre. I'm very much looking forward to what they can do with this film, and so far it's looking good.
It doesn't seem to be going the mainstream route. Oh and that scene with the baby standing up in the crib....creepy!
