Paranormal Activity 2, a Waste of Time

When I found out there was going to be a second installment of Paranormal Activity, the movie that kept me up at night and made me jump at every creak in my house, I was thrilled...until the first 15 minutes of the movie and I realized it was a dud.  Not only was the movie a FAIL, but it actually took away the fear factor of the first movie and made the premise of the movie seem logical (as logical as a demon attacking a family in their own home can be).  The film is set before and after the first movie which just gets too tricky especially when the original characters are back (SPOILER ALERT one of these characters dies in the original).  The only thing the movie had going for it was the loud noises that made you jump.  The shaky camera work had me nauseous in the first few frames; that came and went throughout the movie.  My recommendation: DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE.  Instead go watch the glory of the first movie again or for the first time and pretend that this addition never occurred.
