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.

This movie just makes you angry!!

I 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.
