actually it stole that string "bracelet" the sister gave to the mom but why would that matter to the demon?

I thought maybe the possessed sister came to steal it back but she didn't become possessed until much later in the movie so that didn't make any sense.

But given the way the filmmakers jumped around with the timeline in this film maybe they just confused themselves?

[–] mancunian_nick 12 years ago

This puzzled me throughout the movie, which I have just finished watching. I hadn't seen the first/original movie so it was a question of hopefully being able to figure out what was going on ... which proved more difficult than I first imagined.

So they have expensive cameras and monitors put into their house which, presumably, they bought or are renting yet only ONE person bothered to look at them - the young daughter and only once did she try to show her father or was it her boyfriend? Whatever. Weren't the security company monitoring the cameras? After all, they thought they were having a breakin? It seems pointless and totally ridiculous they wouldn't also have some kind of monitoring service.

Oh well certainly concur 100% with this one.

And yes, whilst the ending was rather shocking, I didn't get it at all really. Guess I'll have to watch the original/first one. Just hope it's got a bit more entertainment value than this one did. Never could get into or enjoy Blair Witch Project - maybe that's why I didn't really enjoy or get THIS one?! Oh well.

18. Dads who live in haunted houses give nonsensical instructions like "Stay there!" which women and children ignore.

19. Dads who live in haunted houses spend at least half the film in denial that the hauntings are real, especially when undeniable proof is presented to them by their wives.

20. Dads who discover their wives possessed by demons never call police, paramedics, doctors or the National Geographic Channel.

21. Like wolfmen and vampires, demonically possessed suburban women have big, sharp teeth.

22. White people are crazy
23. When all he11 breaks lose in your house, don't reach for a weapon, reach for a camera
24. When dealing with the paranormal, NEVER get rid of the religious minority; they know what they are talking about.
25. Never try to send a demon onto another person, they will just find some way to come back to you.
26. When all the doors in your kitchen open spontaneously at the same time, don't get your baby and get the he11 out of the house. Run upstairs and hide for a minute until your tea kettle goes off, then go back in the kitchen and clean up.

27. If you believe there is something supernatural going on in your home, don't call a priest/exorcist. A nanny should be able to take care of the demon just fine.

28. When you know something is terribly wrong in your home, don't move your family to a safe location. Tell them to lock up in the house with the demon until you get back. What could happen in 2 hours?

29. If there are scratch marks and blood on the basement door and you have video evidence that your wife was yanked down there and bitten, you shouldn't worry. It's perfectly safe to go down there alone in the dark.

30. If you try to take care of your wife and she jumps out of bed to bite you, don't call the cops.

31. Also, if you notice that she has a weird bite mark on her leg, don't worry about getting her to the doctor or calling the paramedics to check it out. And when she bites you, don't get checked out either. Rabies or infections can't hurt you, right?

32. There's nothing morally wrong with possessing someone against their will, as long as you think it will save your immediate family. Who cares what happens to the in-laws anyway?

[–] nothingtolose18 13 years ago

33. You can hang pots wrong.

34. Demons can be passed along to blood relatives by burning a picture of said relative.

35. Instead of, ya know, calling a priest or someone to try to banish the demon, it is a better idea to send it off to the rest of the family.

Ok to start with this first...i hate that they put a baby in this movie! if this would happen to my baby, i would get the hell out of that house with the baby! But the things i learned are:
1. Dont get rid of the babysitter, especially if she knows what she is doing by keeping bad spirits away!
2. Keep calm and dont try to cry hesitantly and scream for no apparent reason, when you yourself are making that demon more powerful.
3. Get the freaking baby out! And i mean like if your feeling better i still would get out with the baby, you dont know if he is going to turn up dead.

If you're a demon intent on kidnapping a baby, even going to such lengths as to forcibly lock his current caretaker outside, rather than kidnapping the baby outright, it makes more sense to lift him out of his crib, let him roam around the house, lure him to your dwelling place/lair, and then...let him go back upstairs when he gets bored.

For bonus points, put him back in his crib.

"hahaha,yeah really,i guess the demon couldn't anticipate that the kid couldn't REACH THE DOORKNOB!"

Wasn't the door open when Hunter went over to it? I don't remember if it opened on its own or if he opened it, but I *do* remember the creepy "lullaby" music playing, then getting louder when he was hanging out by the door...which, to me, would only make sense if the door was opened.

Still, if the demon really wanted that kid so badly, why didn't it grab him when he was hanging out by the basement? Or, y'know, take him when he picked him up out of the crib, rather than set him down on the floor?

(Off-topic: was I the only one who found it rather amusing when Hunter stopped to make sure his bedroom door was *completely* open before running off through the house?)

i thought it WAS closed but i could always be wrong.as for the lullaby music,i didn't hear much because people were asleep and i couldn't have the speaker volume very high.my headphones weren't designed to go so high in volume either.

good point though about just grabbing hunter.couldn't tell ya.unlees maybe the demon's power was somehow weakened.

After your wife has been possessed by a demon and she's been ok for 3 weeks, continue to run your house camera surveillance to make sure you capture your deaths by your demonic sister-n-laws/sister.

The best way to keep a toddler from crying is to have your possessed sister holding him. They'll be giggling in no time!

A woman who has no bangs, tells her sister she thinks her house is now haunted, and a few minutes later will show up at home, with bangs. (Katie, at end of PA2 onto footage of beginning of PA1)

A sister who normally drives to your house, once possessed will take approx. 24 hours to walk there. With blood on her shirt. In broad daylight.

44. Mexican maids are the premier experts on demons and they would know exactly how to take care of them. Follow everything they say.

45. Therefore, if your wife is in a catatonic state, call the maid. The cops or a hospital shouldn't be involved.

46. The fact that Hunter disappeared with Katie was never mentioned in the epilogue of the first Paranormal Activity, because....um....er.....

47. Ghosts like pu--y.

48. If all the kitchen doors and drawers open all at once, it's uninteresting enough to never mention again. Or show the tape to your husband. No one would care.

49. There can never be enough shots of a pool with a cleaner floating in it.

50. Ever.

51. No seriously, let's have another shot of the pool. It's interesting.

52. No really.

53. The front doors are great too. Let's have another shot of them.

54. And the kitchen.

55. And the living room.

56. So at least half an hour of the film should consist of pool, front doors, kitchen, living room.

57. Repeat.

58. Ad nauseum.

59. You get the picture.

Nah, she didn't get a haircut.

They made P2 after P1, but tried to link the P2 footage to the beginning of P2.

I rewound a few times because I noticed right away, when Katie pulled up to the house, not only did she have bangs, but her hair was a chestnut brown (as opposed to an ashy brown by the pool)and it was longer.

If she knows where to go to get your hair "growed"....that's amazing.

64. A person can still be attractive even if possessed.

Just look at Katie for proof of this. Attractive but has a psycho rating of four and a half chainsaws out of five. Gorgeous, but deadly.

65. Katie's sister might not be dead as we only see her getting thrown to the corner of the room with considerable force. Nothing more. So she could be inconcious and come to the rescue of her kid in the third movie.

66. It seems that the men directly involved in situations like this will act like dicks. While all the women will more or less be converted to a believer of the events unfolding from the get go.

72. Even in less than 5 minutes of total screen time, Micah still manages to be an annoying P.O.S. douche.

73. The people behind this film think it's morally justified to stereotype Latinos as being the help and fanatical religious nut jobs as long as they reveal in the end that the maid character was right all along.

74. Someone else mentioned the dad's theory about the wind locking the door shut but let me add to this that here, we also learn that some people think the wind will only make a brief appearance at night just to shut and lock the door and then go away and make way for a still night the rest of the night.

75. Micah had hidden pedophilic feelings toward the teenage daughter, which was hinted when he was filming her in the pool, and thus makes me even more happy the douche wound up dying eventually.

76. A dog can out-act most actors in a movie.

77. A teenage girl has no qualms getting some "p**sy hunting" from her boyfriend, knowing full well surveillance cameras will record the action and will be easy access for her father and mother-in-law to view the next day.

78. Demons make great babysitters and would be model employees for Child Protective Services as they take away babies from stupid parents.

79. A demon taking possession over a mother can be nearly instantaneous, but transferring that possession to her sister takes weeks.

80. Any time someone says anything along the lines of "END OF DISCUSSION" there's gonna be another long discussion about it.

81. Neighbors never get worried about strange noises and screams coming from the house next door.

82. People who have really nice houses don't spend much time away from them, (like going to work or anything). And if they do decide to leave the house THEY MUST PROCLAIM OUT LOUD THAT THEY'RE LEAVING AND MUST STATE WHY THEY'RE LEAVING AND WHAT THEY INTEND TO DO WHEN THEY'RE GONE! It's vital that the house stay informed.
