So we went to see Paranormal Activity 2.

I have to say...the first one...didn't impress me. And I wanted it to A LOT. Because I LOVE how subtle it was, how the scary was from what it DIDN'T show, and the subject matter. And if has a lot of things that it ID do well (Subtly and realism for example).

But at the end I was like "...that's it?" It felt badly paced, and like it missed a lot of chance for pushing it more, and it couldn't really figure out what it was doing.

But I heard that the second was better and...I was not disappointed. Holy shit. I actually outright screamed at point, feet up off the ground, nails digging into Ju and Bev's hands, all that. I really, really recommend it.

HOWEVER I also recommend going to a showing that's not...going to be busy. Holy SHIT I have never dealt with so much douchbaggery in a theater (Did you really need to scream "Where is the sister?!" 7 times 7. Really. Really. I don't even know how you got that out 7 times before it was irrelevant)

We actually got free tickets to another movie cause I was just like "...this shit isn't flying." And Harkin's gets like...a billion gold stars for being super cool about it.

I would say....get the first one, watch it, then go see the second one immediately. Because...not all but a lot of what ticked me off was that they....tried to explain what was going on, but like...didn't quite make it, and so there was a whole bunch of extra shit that they never explained, but also didn't need to put it...and the second one explains it all fine.

You also could watch them in the opposite order, or just watch the second. They are tied together, but also enjoyable apart (You will just lose one "OH snap!" moment when watching the new one, because the two movie happen at the same time-ish, and there's a part in 2 that directly correlates with 1 that won't make sense if you don't watch 1.But all you really NEED to know is that Katie and Mika are the couple in 1)
