Paranormal Activity 2......

[jen0610]

Who's going this weekend?

DD13 has tried to convince me that she needs to go see this at the midnight showing on Thrusday. Ummm...you have school on Friday chicketta....so that would be a No.

She and the 12 others she has rounded up will be going on Friday night, along with DH and I. She has been watching all or part of the first one every night for the last 3 weeks. I don't know how the disc keeps going, it has gotten so much useage the last 2 months.

You couldn't pay me to watch that! My son saw the first one and ever since he watched it he has been very paranoid and thinks a demon is in his house now. He is 22 by the way. He said it really messed with him after he saw it.

I will probably go on Friday or Saturday to see it. My friend is going to a midnight showing tomorrow night and he's going to text me afterwards to tell me about it.

Please don't tell me they actually made a sequel from the first bomb.

I rented Paranormal Activity from Red Box.

I want my dollar back.

See, that's my problem with the movie, it'll just make me paranoid. I haven't even watched the 1st one yet. I live in an old house across from a cemetery. I'm very interested in the paranormal but don't want it in my house .

Sometime back at a family get together my uncle told me how his fiancee's daughter became paranoid after watching the first movie. He said that her paranoia has a lot to do with the fact that the neighbors who live down the street from her have been claiming that their home is haunted for the past few years.

My best friend's daughter was the same way; she saw the first one, and spent the next month staying at her mother's while her hubby was working nights, because she was afraid to be alone w/her baby in the house after watching that. It made for some great jokes!!!

I saw the first...didn't love it, but didn't hate it either. I'll watch the second one...but not until I can Netflix it.

BTW, OP, your story about your daughter reminds me of myself at that age. We would get sooooo excited about every horror movie that would come out and then beg our parents to take us.

I haven't seen the first one. Stuff like that scares the you know what outta me.

 

[HonnyDipp]

My DS12 and I plan on going. We just had a death in the family, so I will put it off for the first week, but my son and I are looking forward to seeing this sequel!

You couldn't pay me enough to go see that. I saw the preview in the theater and it made me tear up LOL

I haven't seen the first one and have no plans to unless someone offers to stay with me for the next month and do an hourly search of my house including all closets and behind the shower curtain to make sure nothing is there.

I sort of want to see it. The first one wasn't all that scary (aside from a few jumps/loud noises) but I saw it alone on the TV. I hear it's a better experience in a theatre. I may go if I can find a friend to go with.

We saw the 1st one in a packed theater and it was buzzing in there. The tiniest little thing would set the crowd off. DD was doing the whole, feet pulled up on the seat, leaning into DH or I, covering her eyes but peeking through her spread fingers.

At one point, she had her hand clinched in a fist to her mouth, rocking in her seat, tapping her dad leg with her other hand. By the every end, she doing all of this, only rocking and tapping much faster and repeating OMG, OMG, OMG. Let out the biggest scream at the end (for those who have seen it, you know where that scream came). But as soon as the credits started rolling, she was fanning her face and telling us that was sooo cool and that we were getting it as soon as it came out on DVD.

Ended up seeing this Friday night with DD and 18 of her friends. The group had rounded up a few kids more during school.

These kids had a blast!!! DH and I had originally thought that the kids would split sitting in two rows and that he and I would sit behind them. No....I din't even get to sit next to DH. We got to sit in the middle of the pack of kids, two seats apart. We each had two kids hanging from our sides. The one girl kept trying to bury her head between my seat back and my shoulder.

DD sat next to the "boyfriend" and when it was over, he wanted to know why I didn't warn him that she would dislocate his arm with all the pulling, twisting and tugging she did. I reminded him that they had being watching scary movies for months and that he was aware that she's jumpy during them. I guess he hadn't figured out that if she was jumpy watching movies she had already seen a number of times, that at a first viewing it would be 100x's worse.

Loved the movie. Loved how they tied the two movies together. DD wants to go again this weekend and see it a 2nd time.

Thanks for no spoilers! I am so glad it's good, I am itching to go see it. It looks so scary!

Ditto. I thought the scare factor was almost zero.

Then again I watched it at home a few weeks ago by myself. With a crowd in a theater it might give you a better effect.

I would not go with my kids because they would probably ruin it by laughing through the whole thing.

 

[Planogirl]

Different things scare different people and you have to have the right mindset. I think that "things that go bump in the night" are much scarier than the in your face stuff that is so popular nowadays. But to each their own.

There was a point in the movie, that while nothing major was going on, someone behind our huge group sneezed, which scared the crap out of one of kids. It made them jump and squeal, causing the rest of them to jump and squeal. Then giggles, because of their being "scared" by a sneeze.
