Paranormal Activity 2
My initial excitement quickly turned to disappointment after watching the trailer for the upcoming Paranormal Activity 2 film on my iPhone. They used the same -Micah being thrown into the camera scene- that spoiled the first movie trailer as well as failing to capture any sense of dread that was present in the first film.
It was only after watching it on my iMac in larger resolution did I notice the subtle ghostly disturbances that somewhat changed my mind. I say somewhat because this Variety article doesn't give me much confidence it will be nearly as successful as the first. Oren Peli isn't directing this one and in fact Paramount only recently hired someone to direct for a film that will be released later this year.
In any case, let me know what kind of "paranormal activities" you caught in the trailer.
