Just as Daniel and Kristi welcome a newborn baby into their home, a demonic presence begins terrorizing them, tearing apart their perfect world and turning it into an inescapable nightmare.
Paranormal Activity 2 recap
In 2006, Kristi and her husband Daniel bring home their newborn son, Hunter, and live with Daniel's teenage daughter Ali and their dog, Abby. After an apparent break-in in which only Hunter's necklace is taken, Daniel installs security cameras. Doors slam, the pool cleaner climbs out of the pool at night, and the housekeeper Martine burns sage, convinced there is an evil presence, and is fired. Ali researches and learns that a family ancestor made a deal with a demon for wealth, promising the firstborn son; Hunter is the first boy born in the family since then. Kristi is dragged down the stairs and possessed, and Daniel and Ali sedate her.
Paranormal Activity 2 ending explained
Daniel uses a ritual from Martine to pass the demon onto Kristi's sister Katie, who has none of the family's sons, and Kristi recovers. Weeks later, on the night of the first film, Katie, possessed after killing her boyfriend Micah, kills Daniel and Kristi and takes Hunter. Ali survives because she is away. Title cards explain the timeline, and Katie and the baby vanish, setting up the hunt for Hunter in the later films.
