Whether you think cinema died with Hitchcock or only got good once Michael Bay started blowing up helicopters, this is the place where moving pictures are discussed.

    Meh.

    However, it's hilarious when the baby starts flying.

    The baby flying was well funny. :rofl2:

    I think the narrative is better than the first. It all links up pretty well, but the 'scary parts' are definitely better in the first. Probably more to do with the fact that we didn't know what to expect in the first one.

    Re: Paranormal Activity 2
    I hate people screaming in the cinema but I have to say that I gave out a few little screams when I went to see it

    After I saw the first one I left all the lights on in my house (:p:) I guess this one was jumpy rather than totally scary. Probably because after you've seen the 1st one, you know what to expect :dontknow:

    It was good how it explained why the 1st film turned out the way it did though.

    ENDING SPOILER (For people who haven't yet seen it :dontknow:)

    The ending was a bit blah for me though. I mean surely the police would have told them that Micah had been killed and that her sister was missing? :confused: Then the dad would've connected the dots, i.e. 'oh yeah, i transferred the demon to her sister and now her sister has obviously killed Micah. Maybe we should not be in this house when the demon clearly wants our son' I dont know, just a little bit of a crap ending

    Better put this in a spoiler too

    I could be wrong but doesn't the end to PA2 occur right after the end to PA1? As I understand it Katie kills Micah and heads straight towards her sister's house on her Rambo-esque mission for revenge, still wearing the same blood-drenched PJs. Micah's body isn't found for quite some time and the bodies of Kristi and Dan are only discovered when Ali returns after her school trip. This prompts the investigation of Katie and Micah's house as presumably Ali is to be left in Katie's care.

    As I said I could be wrong

    I found it hilarious tbh! It was more like a comedy than a horror. Everyone in the hall was laughing their heads off!

    Ok here comes another spoiler :p:

    She goes to their house 3 days after she killed Micah, but you might be right in saying that they didn't find his body for a while which would explain my little loophole I don't think that Ali would have gone into Katie's care, they had cameras everywhere so they will have known that Katie did all the killing :p: Plus at the end of the 2nd film it says that Katie and the baby still hadn't been found

    We've got a great spoiler train going on here

    A quick search tells me that Micah's body was found 3 days after he died. So, Kristi and Dan couldn't possibly have known about his death until it was too late. Unless of course they heard about it, simply shrugged it off and continued to watch TV etc.

    There we are. We've peiced the story together
