I watched Paranormal Activity 1 & 2 last night, and I don't really see why people don't care for the second one. I liked it a lot more. The first one had its creepy moments and everything, but I had a lot harder of a time taking it seriously. The second one suffered from the same thing, but the second one also took the things from the first movie that were creepy and made them a little more over the top. But that's what I felt like worked the best in the film, the over the top creepiness put me on edge. Plus, it just felt more effective because as soon as I saw the baby I knew he would be the target. I have a tough time seeing babies be put through anything in horror films, so that increased the effect by a large margin for me.
