Which one do you think is better? I definitely vote for The Conjuring, Paranormal Activity imo was *beep*

I'm sick of PA's shakycam rubbish, they try to build tension so that viewers feel as unsettled as the person experiencing the situation but it actually kills it for me. For some reason, I don't find the invisible shadow demon in Paranormal Activity films scary at all, its as if the person holding the camera is having a seizure or something... really. It's so annoying when the camera focus goes all over the place.

Everything they’ve taken from us, we’re going to take back and more.

PA doesn't have much shakycam though.

Paranormal Activity is much better.

Having someone "show" me what to be scared of (usually a bad cgi monster, zombie, devil, other clearly non-real things) vs. Letting my mind fill in the blanks. Depends on what scares you

The Conjuring by way far!!!

The Conjuring is probably the better movie, but Paranormal Activity is scarier.

The Conjuring, but Paranormal Activity was good as well.

Paranormal Activity by so far it isnt funny. PA is one of the few effective modern horror movies. It makes you feel as though what you are watching is real, and you are apart of it. It builds suspense better and feels more personal. I also like that a lot is left up to the imagination. Conjuring is just like most modern horror movies, cliche, predicable and repetitive which made it boring.
