Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Nights

Unbeknownst to some or just me, there is a Paranormal Activity based in Asia. I chanced upon this while looking through Asian film archive from 2008 onward. All this while, the American adopted majority of Asian horror shows but this is the first that I encountered the opposite. I too thought that it would be a remake in an Asian setting(not looking at the poster) but it definitely ain't true.

Paranormal Activity: Tokyo Night is about a Japanese girl, Haruka who returned from America after she met an accident that left both her legs fractured and wheel chair bound. Only her brother, Koichi is available to assist her at home while their father has to leave for a business in Singapore.

After experiencing a strange encounter at night, the siblings decided to capture any future activity on camera. With different encounters every night, the siblings grew tiresome and terrified. A plot unravels a connection to the 2 Americans Paranormal Activity.

Who would thought that it would be a continuity from the Americans original? It gels quite well with the other two shows but the main concentration is definitely Haruka. The hauntings are closely similar to the counterparts but the last sequence is by far the creepiest. Slightly funny but far-out creepy nonetheless.
