paranormal activity 2

after diana and i saw the first paranormal activity movie, we loved it, but were freaked out for weeks! we slept with the light on for more than one night... so it was with trepidation that we went to see the second one. we were both worried that it would be as creepy as the first one, but also kind of secretly hopeful that it would be.
turns out that it was pretty creepy, but neither of us lost any sleep over it. this one is just like the first in that it is found footage from a family that is dealing with some strange events around their house. the first one was about a woman and her boyfriend, this one is about her relatives as they deal with the same strange presence. the movie did a good job of slowly building the tension, letting us get to know the family before we start to see the weird things happening. the quality was still there and the creepy factor was in full effect, but i think it suffers from the fact that we have seen this before. there were some new twists in this story that were different from the last one, but it just didnt get under my skin the way the last one did. i liked the way they tied in the first one with this though. over all, it was a good scary movie, just not the homerun of the first.
