SAW/Paranormal Activity Anniversary Tribute

It's been 20 years since we first met Jigsaw, the twisted mastermind behind a series of deadly games in SAW , and 15 years since we stumbled upon the events in Paranormal Activity. These films have left an indelible mark on the horror genre, and we're here to talk about what makes them so enduring.
From the intricate traps of Jigsaw to the chilling manifestations in Paranormal Activity, we'll delve into the elements that have kept us coming back for more.

Prey (1977)

While we were at the Overlook Film Festival we picked up a movie from the Vinegar Syndrome table called Prey.  We had never heard of it and it was blind buy for both of us.  
I think we should just let the official Wikipedia entry describe this film. 
A carnivorous shape-shifting alien named Kator lands in the woods of rural England. The vanguard of an invasion force, his mission is to evaluate the suitability of humans as a source of food for his species. He kills Anderson and Sandy, a couple having a tryst in their parked car, and assumes the appearance of Anderson.
Later, he encounters Jessica-Ann and Josephine, a lesbian couple who live in a manor house. Although Jessica owns the property, having inherited it from her Canadian parents, the dominant of the pair is Jo, who is unusually possessive of Jessica and suspicious of men. Simon, Jessica's boyfriend, has mysteriously disappeared. The women are vegetarians and live in seclusion with only some chickens and a pet parrot, Wally, for company.
This is movie that's hard to talk about without spoilers, so be warned, we spoil this crazy movie.
