I was talking about the first one. I haven't seen the second one. The first one just didn't scare me. A door creaking closed doesn't scare me. A woman standing over a man while sleeping doesn't scare me (though it'd scare the **** out of me if it actually happened to me). A Ouija board starting on fire doesn't scare me. Footprints in baby powder don't scare me.
I hate gore-porn, torture-porn or whatever you want to call it. Normally, things that go bump in the dark-type movies are my favorite, but in the first movie, you knew everything that was going to happen before it happened. There was no suspense because you could see it coming from a mile away.
As for Hollywood bringing it globally, don't fool yourself, that was planned all along. The whole "limited release" thing was just to get people to go to their website. It was almost going to get a hige release, they just wanted to build the hype. Heck, I still get emails from them because you had to give an email address to "sign the petition" to have it released in your area.
