Paranormal Activity 2: Tokyo Nights (2010)
While the American PA2 was a parallel prequel story of the original but this one is a sequel where the events happens around with a Japanese brother & sister. Haruka (the sister) has returned to Tokyo after getting involved in a severe car accident in San Diego, California where she was studying. She broke both of her legs in the car crash and is now recuperating at her younger brother Koichi's house in Tokyo. Now that accidents actually connect it with the original PA as news report says that Haruka hit Katie with her car in that accident as Katie was running away after "killing" her boyfriend, Micah. Haruka guessed that the supposed demon that possessed Katie has now latched on to her (& fly over to Tokyo with her without having a visa or even a plane ticket!:D).
There are some solid creepy encounters here also, especially there's a nice scene when the Haruka was pulled by her hair and dragged from the bed, somewhat like dragging Katie's ankle from the bed in the original. But the ending is here overdone, they tried to show too much, IMO. Especially I don't get who's corpse was it in the morgue?
Not a bad entry for the series, kinda interesting but obviously could have been better.
