What you may need to know:
1. Sequel to 2012’s moderately successful horror. Original writer Scott Derrickson returns, but National Irish Film School at IADT graduate Ciarán Foy takes over directing duties.
2. A young mother (Shannyn Sossamon) and her twin sons move into a rural house that’s marked for death.
3. That’s property bubbles for you. Spiralling prices force countless young families into more affordable rural housing, irrespective of “marked for death” status or not. Thanks a bunch, Bertie.
4. The bogeyman looks like that dude from Slipknot.
5. The law of diminishing returns means that Ethan Hawke is absent. Just like Kim Cattrall in Mannequin on the Move (1991). Or Kim Cattrall in Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment (1987).
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: Boo.
Release Date: August 21.

Looks like Michael Jackson from here
I borrowed the Paranormal Activity DVD from my local library a couple of months ago, it was really bad, on every level.
