ohh dear god....theres a sequel coming out...will it be a failure like the first one? i say the first one had its few parts but was not even scary...you people think it will be any good?

Please show evidence that there is a sequel. Otherwise you look like you're only speculating there is a sequel to Paranormal Activity.

If there is a sequel, I wonder why people can't let movies like PA be a standalone. Blair Witch Project for example is an alright flick but when the sequel, Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows came out, we looked the other way.

first one got the point across, don't need another one. No need for another one.

thought first one was shiite..

I wouldn't quite call the first one a failure

Ooo look, is that a horror section I see on the main page...

First one was way overrated, these movies suck.

The cinematography? It was below par on purpose, being all video cams and recorded footage seen later. In the theatre, I confess to jumping several times.
I was glad they released the actual tiny-budget effort, instead of buying the rights just to remake it, which was Dreamworks first idea.
Another sequel; OK. But don't become another SAW series.

book of shadows wasnt that bad.



I don't know what they plan on doing with this sequel but i think the first one worked because the people were simply trying to make a good movie with what little resources they had and they succeeded. I would like to see this one be a completely un related story. Im sure they'll use the same style of the home video quality but it would be neat to see them use some cgi and give bigger reveals. I actually think it has a great effect when filmmakers use home video and CGI. It has a very surreal feeling. Instead of watching movies with expensive film and lenses and trying to convince myself that the CGI is real. I always seem to end up reminding myself that the CGI effects arent real when i see them on home video quality. I suppose thats because my brain is trained to associate home video with reality. Anyway, i think this style could work with revealing ghosts or demons.

Just go on youtube. There are a lot of home videos made where the people use CGI. Yeah, most of them are novelty or just plain blow, but quite a few are great and in some cases chilling.

Saw this tonight. Wasn't very good. Bad pacing, recycled scares, worse acting and without the subtext of the first one. Just all around worse.

It has gotten a few decent reviews

Yeah I saw this movie opening night and for me it was extremely entertaining.

If you liked the first one, you'll love this one.

If you didn't, don't see this expecting anything different, it's just more of the same formula from the first movie...

That said, this movie had me jump a couple of times and has some of the creepiest daytime horror I've ever seen in a movie for my tastes.
I'm not sure if this movie is what I'd call really scary per'se but it definitely felt quite suspenseful and had my gripping my seat waiting for what happened next.

There's definitely some shit that was just unexpected in this movie and if you're not aware this movie is woven into the first one. IMO it actually enhances the first movie.

This for me was definitely a sequel as good or superior to the first film and worth a watch.

The reason they are releasing this sequel (along with the Saw movies and other sequels) is that the original made a SHIT LOAD of money, according to wikipedia the first movie had a budget of $15,000... and now has profits nearing the $200M mark, which is insane.

I too went to see this at the weekend, to be honest I did find the original quite jumpy (tho I am not usually a jumper), however the sequel proved to be dull and the storyline tie-in was laime.

There was only one part I jumped (forgot how to insert the spoiler tag so I wont reveal which part it was).


Wasn't a good choice for a Saturday night, wish I went to see RED instead. There were alot of "couples" there sharing their fear emotions so I guess thats a plus.


Discos - 5/10

Insane but impressive.

OK I just saw Paranormal Activity 2 and let me tell you this: IT SUCKED! It wasn't just lame but it was uber lame. I'm serious, I was sitting there for about 45 minutes waiting for something to happen. And when something finally did happen, it sounded like the boom mike hit something. It was gay. And then to make it suck even more, they had credits and the name of the baby wrangler and ASPCA on the credits. It even said the usual "No animals were harmed in the making of this film" and I was like WTF this is supposed to be a documentary of a demon, not a movie!
Honestly, I bet theirs gonna be a Paranormal Activity 3 which is gonna have the lady killing off more people.

haha uber-lame, I like it.

for starters miss s-girl, I hope you didn't go see this film believin it was an actual documentary?

I have to agree with you tho, the first 45 minutes I would of rather watched my own home movies of shit back garden BBQ's. It just took so god damn long to get going, and once it eventually did it was just boring.
The movie lasts so short but for a long period of time I kept looking at my watch wanting to get the hell outta there.

I didn't go in there believing it was a REAL documentary but the movie directors/producers should of made it so that the audience semi-believed that it was.

But this is what the show biz is all about, low cost of production and huge profits.

All I can say is that it was lame.
