If I haven't seen either movie yet, should I watch both?

Yes. You should. First one is total Giallo flick, at least as much as I understand that term. Real gritty and wonderfully mean spirited(and I mean that in a good way). Second one is a different type of flick but equally as entertaining. Both are populated by solid, above average(for horror movies) acting...especially Josh Stewart as Arkin. Nice vague masked bad guy and great practical fx. Not the Birth of a Nation, but fun nonetheless.

The Second Coming Of Evil Exorcised In ‘The Last Exorcism Part II’ Trailer Premiere! | | Bloody DisgustingBloody Disgusting
I personally loved the slow burn of the first movie even with the so-so ending but a lot of that was due to the amazing job done by the preacher(Patrick Fabian). With his departure, my expectations are tempered for the sequel.
Not a lot of horror movies I really liked in 2012 but Cabin in the Woods would be my favorite.
As for the worst of 2012, VHS was not in that conversation IMO. While I wasn't a big fan of it, I actually liked it more than both Sinister and Paranormal Activity 4. While it was straight to video, Wrong Turn 5 was the worst horror movie I saw in 2012.
Yeah, that Last Exorcism 2 trailer removes the two good things about the first...the preacher and the documentary angle. Looks relatively harmless but bland.
Didn't see PA4 or WT5 but I have to argue Sinister vs V/H/S with you...Sinister may have had faults but damn V/H/S only had one story(out of 5) with a cohesive agenda. The acting was men to boys in favor of Sinister as well as the technicals of the whole thing. It(V/H/S) truly was unwatchable. Sinister was just forgettable.
I think Adgy said he wanted to see this after missing it @ ScreamfestLA...for anyone else too
sorry, took the trailer down...it had a butt as the display screencap. Here's the link
