	Author	Review
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Rarely is the second film in a horror franchise more frightening than the original, but Paranormal Activity 2 has more innocent victims and more scares than its predecessor (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"If you're looking for wicked fun this Halloween, 'Paranormal Activity 2' is the best goosebump game in town (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Frozen camera setups and blurry night-vision images raise goose bumps without the assistance of eerie music or showy effects, though the strain of stretching the gimmick to a second movie is palpable."	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"I don't have a problem with 'Paranormal Activity 2.' It delivers what it promises, and occupies its audiences (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"This prequel offers more of the same to somewhat diminished effect."	NEG
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Less a sequel than a superfluous remake (...) Technically accomplished in its fake video-verite style but artistically bankrupt"	NEU
United Kingdom	Phelim O'Neill The Guardian	"It has to work a little harder and, with more characters and cameras as well as a little more humour, it really pays off (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
