For one reason or another, the release of the first trailer for Paranormal Activity 2 is receiving a lot of attention on the Internet.

The first clip from the movie was released early this morning, and has already become one of the top searched items on Google.

After watching the clip I cannot say that I am even remotely interested in going to see the film when it is released this Halloween.

For starters, I am not really big on horror movies. Beyond that, I have never really gotten into the low budget, scary movie phenomenon that the first Paranormal Activity, much like the older Blair Witch Project, is based on.

The new movie is aimed at staying true to the unique camera angles and shooting styles that were distinct to the first movie. There will be a few differences from the original; for instance, Tod “Kip” Williams is replacing the first movie’s director, Oren Peli, since he was busy directing another horror flick, Area 51. Additionally, the first movie’s ‘success’ means that this film will have a much larger budget than the first Paranormal.

There will always be fans that love to follow franchises such as these. I am personally of the opinion that when I spend the time and money to go see a movie, I want to get a little more out of it than a few cheap thrills and nightmares for a week after it ends.

There seems to be a lot more flicks in the works that have more potential than Paranormal Activity 2.

Some interesting looking titles that are releasing around the same time include 'Never Let Me Go', and 'The Social Network', the movie that chronicles Mark Zuckerbergs launch of Facebook.
