I appreciate the attempt, and somewhat enjoyed the first one. My biggest complaint is the predictability. I mean, yeah, ghosts/demons/things move stuff and shake lights and bang around. That's what they do... in every movie... ever. Paranormal Activity worked because it felt realistic, it worked on the same level Blair Witch worked when it came out. I remember when Blair Witch was being teased, it played like it was real, they had investigative web sites and gave it a life. Then I went and saw it the night it came out, at midnight. I was so disappointed. It was fun, but not scary. That's how I felt about Paranormal Activity, fun, but not scary.
