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.

... always take a camera with you, every where you go ... Well that's a version of a popular song, that could apply to this movie as well as to other found footage themed ones. It's more fitting in this case, because of the jump across the "pond" from America to Japan. But even there and with a different culture, evil never sleeps. It might be dragging its feet and its still slower than a turtle (until it puts in the high speed gear that is), but it seems to work its charm every time.Having a camera while you run for your life or rather catching it and still be able to film coherent material is tricky. But manageable as it seems. All jokes aside, this is a slow burning affair, one that is considered to belong to the Pananormal Activity universe. For whatever reason, other than to make money of advertising and compel to the Asian market that is of course ...

Haruka Yamano (Noriko Aoyama) returns from America to Tokyo in a wheelchair with both legs with multiple fractures in a car accident and is helped by her father and her brother Koichi Yamano (Aoi Nakamura). 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. On the next morning, Haruka tells that her wheelchair had moved during the night and Koichi check the windows of her room to see if a stranger has broken in their house. He tells that probably a spirit had moved the wheelchair and he uses salt near the door of Haruka's bedroom to protect her against evil spirits. However, on the next morning they find that the salt is spread near the door. He checks the tape and believes that the house is haunted by a ghost. He decides to tape his room too and along the days, weird noises and events happen in the house.They invite the priest Saionji to purify the house against ghosts and along four days nothing unusual happens. Haruka tells to Koichi that, in America, she had hit a woman called Katie that had just murdered her boyfriend and appeared in front of her car. Their father returns home but he needs to travel again. But on the fifth night they see in the tape that the house is still haunted. Koichi decides to call Saionji again, but they learn that the priest had died five nights ago after leaving their house. Haruka discloses to her brother that weird things had happened to her also in America. Further, she tells that she had researched the life of Katie and had found that the girl was also haunted by ghosts. Now the fiend is more violent and still haunts the siblings and they do not know what to do.The low-budget "Paranômaru Akutibiti: Dai-2-shô - Tokyo Night" is a remake of "Paranormal Activity", with a similar story. After the original "The Blair Witch Project", many low-budget movies made with hand-held camera have been released. "Paranormal Activity" is ridiculously overrated but this Japanese remake is better than the original. However, the remake of a bad film may be even better, but never a great film. Last but not the least, this is the first time that I see a Japanese remake of an American film and both do not worth watching. My vote is four. Title (Brazil): "Atividade Paranormal Tóquio" ("Paranormal Activity Tokyo")

This movie Japanese spin off or there own sequel to the original American Paranormal Activity.Her brother is filming (One of the others reviews already said it start, so I not going repeat that) his sister Home coming, she as just back from US but involved in Car crash, that broke her legs and as to be in wheel chair, Brother has to care of her until she get back on her feet. This movie did have the some of same idea like US one but they use it different way as it they put bit of salt on floor but it get blown away, it just like powder scene in US version which is was much better scene.Also liked the fact that girl was pulled by her hair in this movie and dragged from the bed. (Hair replaced the ankle) They soon found that girl who died in crash in US, pass evil thing to her after the crash.It may seem a bit like of re-harsh of the first movie for most of time, the ending was really good, Some really good entertaining moments near the end and some really good scare that creepy you out (scary stuff that happens out of the house) I enjoyed this movie a lot more then US sequel.Really good movie
