They're both pretty good movies, I prefer the first by a little but also enjoy the second. It's kinda more fast paced and a little gory than the first, but it's worth a watch when you're in the mood for that sorta thing.
I've been thinking about it for a few minutes and to be honest there's not really any other movies I'm coming up with I'd compare it to. I'm normally kinda picky with both found footage and and vampire movies but I feel this one was really well done for both subgenres. It's in my top 3 for both. It's a long shot and kinda weird but there use to be a travel tv show called departures with 2 best friends traveling the world together. And every time I watch this movie it reminds me of that show because of the chemistry of the 2 main characters. Only if that show became a horror movie.

A new Gremlins is one I've been hoping for for quite a while now. I really enjoyed beetlejuice beetlejuice too so I'd be more than willing to give a 3rd a watch.
