Quarter 2: Journal 2- Paranormal Activity 2

I saw this movie on Friday night, and it totally freaked me out. While I won't delve too deeply into the plot, I did want to discuss the prevalence of karma in this movie. I am a firm believer in karma, so I definitely liked it being in this movie. Firstly, the daughter of the couple that is being haunted discovers that if one makes a deal with a demon, they must sacrifice their first born son. Interstingly enough, their family line has been all girls up until the point of Hunter, her half-brother, being born. The rule is that the demon will give you something, like wealth, in exchange for that life, and if you do not pay up your child, you will be haunted until he is obtained. These reasons unbeknown to the parents cause the demon to start haunting their family. This is a prime example of karma. The husband, in order to protect his wife and son, uses a cross to transfer the demon from his wife to her sister, because it has to be transferred to a blood relative. The posessed sister then kills her husband, travles to her sister's house, and kills both of them. I believe that the demon kills the husband out of an act of karma, as well as the fact that it is sheer evil. I do believe that things that you do will either come back to help or haunt you, as seen in this movie. Haunt. Hah. Punny.
