MANILA, Philippines - Paranormal Activity 2 is a psychological horror film directed by Tod Williams and written by Michael Perry. It is a sequel to the original film, Paranormal Activity, released in 2009. It is currently showing in Metro Manila theaters.
After experiencing what they believe to be a series of break-ins by a vandal, the relatives of Katie install a security surveillance system in their home, only to discover from the footage that a paranormal presence (and Katie herself) is responsible for the damage. Convinced something supernatural is going on, the family deals with Katie’s tormenting, as she violently haunts them all and seeks to take her baby nephew Hunter.
Paramount and DreamWorks hired screenwriter Perry to create the follow-up. Oren Peli, the director of the first film, will serve as a producer for the sequel. Kevin Greutert, director of Saw VI, was initially hired to direct the sequel.
However, Lions Gate Entertainment exercised a clause in Greutert’s contract to have him direct the final film in the Saw franchise.
