The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
... View MoreIt is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

... View MoreI have come to known Japanese horror movies as a form of art. This piece of tihs is a below average American horror movie, it just happens to be made in Japan. Absolutely nothing even remotely scary happens, just another movie that benefits from Paranormal Activity's success. A prime example of how easy it is to fool the audiences to watch a dozen horrible sequel- prequel- bs when the first one is actually some what decent a movie. I have completely given up on all of the PA-movies, even the 2nd one was garbage. The only reason why I give this 2 instead of 1/10, is the fact that it is in Japanese and filmed in Japan. But still this makes as much sense as the American ones; e.g. if your sister and/or sister's room is haunted and you want to protect her, why do you sleep in your own room like 2 floors down? You talk about leaving the house but you don't, why won't you? Your sister walks around loudly and you don't wake up on the noise? BS.No more this, now I will release myself of the horrible franchise that is Paranormal Asstivity. Gomennasai, Arigato gozaimasu.
... View MoreI think one reason why people didn't like PA4 is because it seemed so random and without reason that "Robby" would come over to stay at the neighbor's house while Katie was in the hospital. Paranormal Activity 2: Tokyo Night fills in this gap.This is a fairly slow moving movie, but I enjoyed it. I think if the version I watched had better subtitles, I might have concentrated less on what was trying to be conveyed and more on the characters. I am giving this a 10 star rating because it does not deserve 5.0 stars at all.The ending is very freaky for sure. I don't scare easily either. I like how they spliced the footage from the house and the footage from the morgue to finish it. I think multi-footage adds some realism to the genre.
... View MoreThis movie Japanese spin off or there own sequel to the original American Paranormal Activity.Her brother is filming (One of the others reviews already said it start, so I not going repeat that) his sister Home coming, she as just back from US but involved in Car crash, that broke her legs and as to be in wheel chair, Brother has to care of her until she get back on her feet. This movie did have the some of same idea like US one but they use it different way as it they put bit of salt on floor but it get blown away, it just like powder scene in US version which is was much better scene.Also liked the fact that girl was pulled by her hair in this movie and dragged from the bed. (Hair replaced the ankle) They soon found that girl who died in crash in US, pass evil thing to her after the crash.It may seem a bit like of re-harsh of the first movie for most of time, the ending was really good, Some really good entertaining moments near the end and some really good scare that creepy you out (scary stuff that happens out of the house) I enjoyed this movie a lot more then US sequel.Really good movie
... View MoreWhen I first heard about a Japanese take on Paranormal Activity, I thought it was a joke. Then I saw the trailer for it and thought it looked horrible. Being a big fan of Paranormal Activity films, I really wanted to see it. Unfortunately, they didn't release it here in America, and I'm still waiting. However, I managed to get that chance to watch it but I couldn't understand a word they were saying since there was no subtitles on the transfer I saw.To be honest, this film feels just like the first Paranormal Activity. It begins with the guy in front of the mirror adjusting his camera, a lot like Micah's opening scene on the first one. Then he goes out to his driveway to a car where some girl is..... hmmm... feels like the first Paranormal Activity again. But unlike the first Paranormal Activity, it begins with something happening early on in the film. He puts a mound of sugar on the door and finds out that it mysteriously gets wiped all over the floor.I also like that they kept the whole Night #1 title card that the Paranormal Activity films have. The unfortunate thing is that the first half of the film just feels like a rehash of the first one. Doors opening and closing, the girl screams out of her sleep, sometimes just going nuts for some reason. As I'm watching, I'm waiting for something different to happen. It has to offer something new eventually.It does.For the last thirty minutes or so of the film, things get a little crazy. There's a moment in the film that is creepier than any of the American Paranormal Activity films never achieved. I won't spoil it, but let's just say you will know when you see it. There's also a little twist in the end, where you think it's going to end the same way as the first film.... but it doesn't.Paranormal Activity 2: Tokyo Night is a worthy entry in the Paranormal Activity series. It does tie into the franchise and worth a watch if you like these films. Next time I see it, I'm watching it with subtitles so I know what they're talking about. There's a lot of slow parts, though. Then again, so did the American versions.
