| eye Weekly Neil Karassik The best way to sum up this year’s cash-in on last year’s sleeper hit is this: if you enjoyed it the first time around, you’ll probably dig it all over again. But if you found the original to be an artless exercise in lo-fi shock tactics, this rehash won’t win you over. | 5 | |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs If you loved the first offering, you'll probably react similarly to this one. If not, you'll just see this as more of the same. | 10 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Paranormal Activity 2 doesn't cover any new ground, but its premise is still scary -- and in some respects, it's a better film than the original. | 12 | |
