What went lower in 'Paranormal Activity 2' This movie is essentially a prequel, with many different the plot occurring just before the occurrences within the first film. It starts getting a couple, Kristi and Serta, finding their home completely destroyed having a potential crook. Really the only factor that was untouched was their infant boy Hunter's room.
