It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Blistering performances.
Being so much hyped i had watched in my college time the original Paranormal activity and let me be very frank found it too over hyped. I was disappointed. Is this better? that would be saying the obvious and the effort shows especially in the writing.The acting is good and i found it to be one of the few satisfying horror flicks...The jumps may not be much but the chill is eerie...I will say this that i did like the film...not a great film may be but definitely a one time treat for the horror fans and even for its found footage style it rarely bores you Now how many flicks can say that? Go for it if you ask me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After so many North American remakes of Japanese horror films, it was fair to see the roles reversed: a Japanese remake of a North American horror film. Well, to be fair, I do not know if Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night is in fact a remake, or a sequel, or a prequel, or a re-imagination or some kind of parallel version of Paranormal Activity, because even though its screenplay includes a slight connection to that film, I found it so weak and forced that it could have been added at the last moment, as a "legal precaution" in order to avoid demands. For the rest, the film is a badly done copy which imitates the style, rhythm and "jump scenes" from the successful original movie.Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night emphasizes its Asian "taste" with some cultural (like the constant reverences from the characters), architectural (like the strange design from the house in which the story is developed) and religious details, but leaving that aside, it does not bring anything new to the established formula, and it feels more like an imitation of Paranormal Activity than as a sequel (or prequel or whatever it is...I already spoke about that). Director Toshikazu Nagae tried to copy the methodic rhythm achieved by Oren Peli in the original movie, but he could not achieve that because of the bad performances, hollow atmosphere and total lack of suspense and emotion.As for the narrative background, it is also pretty poor. Besides of the previously mentioned connection to Paranormal Activity (which did not convince me at all), the screenplay did not bother to invent explanations nor to establish a logical sequence of causes and consequences which could have might brought some personality to the "ghost" (or demon, or whatever it is). One of the things I most liked in Paranormal Activity was the fact that it brought a clear and threatening identity to the supernatural elements which stalked the characters. Nothing of that happens in Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night; the things happen without a real sensation of dramatic progression, while the arbitrary ending looks like an improvised trick to prolong the mystery and impact us with its "creativity". Bad luck...it only makes the movie more irritating.In conclusion, I cannot recommend Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night because of its many negative elements, starting by its poor screenplay and even worse execution. I cannot believe I am going to say this, but I think that even the inclusion of a classic ghost woman with a long black hair would have improved the experience.
Well... I saw that many people have different views of this movie. Just like the other American Paranormal Activity movies, this one has its pros and cons.In some aspects it's a little better than the American Version, but in other aspects it's not as good. When it comes to scary, it delivers pretty much the same amount of frights (and if not somewhat better). When it comes to the story, it drives off from the original story into a new one that doesn't seem so creative. There were some surprising new elements into this installment, some that were good and some that were not as much. The ending was a bit weird, but I thought that was better than the original American ending. I just wish that the script wasn't so rushed. In short, some aspects are better and some aren't (I wouldn't say worst), yet it's a fine entry to the Paranormal Activity saga, I just think it was a bit unnecessary to do this semi-sequel/semi-remake. But some people differ from this opinion saying it's better than the American Version and some prefer the American one. But this is just my point of view, I think I'll stick to the American version, though I wouldn't mind seeing another Japanese installment.
When 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.
