Haruka Yamano returns from America to Tokyo in a wheelchair, both legs having multiple fractures from a car accident. She is helped by her brother Koichi and their father. Their father travels to Singapore for business meetings and Koichi takes care of his sister and films her most of the time with his camera.

Much better than the original

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!
