I wasn't comparing paranormal activity to this, it just listed down my experience with a movie that had stuck with me. but if I were to compare it to one, I would have to say this movie reminded me of the second one.
you'll see why when you watch it just cause some scenes in this movie made me jump like the kitchen scene in paranormal activity 2.
but still, I AINT NO PUSSY! gnome saying?

I haven't seen it yet, but the ads kind of turned me off it. I don't know why, but it looks like Hills Have Eyes, just in a new setting...

Its the classic "silence, silence, silence, LOUD NOISE" freak you out kind of movie. Less creepy, more shit jumps out at you.

but still, I AINT NO PUSSY! gnome saying? | I rate the scariness of Paranomal Activity this way
PA 3 > PA 1 > PA 2
So just wanted to see what I am up against.
Thanks for clarifying, now I kind of know what to expect. Quote:

hmmm, I hope it's not a let down. | I honestly thought it was going to be more aggressive like a 28 Weeks Later type feel. Some parts of the movie had set it up this way (even the preview) I was pretty disappointed in the formula of scare they used too. Chernobyl was a tragedy but the situation the director got and set up for the plot through the preview had great movie written all over it if it was done right. Unfortunately they missed the boat on executing great ideas like these. I was frankly disappointed.
Glad to have not paid for it with the advance screening ticket.

yeah the movie wasn't great at all...had a few jumpy parts but nothing to brag about. Barely could see the mutated people, not enough killing/gore just over all a mediocre movie at best.

Jump scares are the easiest and cheapest way to scare a crowd. It's the trademark of a shitty movie.

I hate movies with jump scares, which is why I never watch horror genre.
I don't mind movies with psychological fear though
