I was annoyed with a few character's decisions like with most horror films but overall it was a fun film.

I thought You're Next was highly overrated. Erin was awesome, and it had some fun with the clichés of the genre but the movie rarely pays off. Minus one kill with a blender, pretty much all of the kills are uninspired, and painfully repetitious, the kills feel bland even in comparison to the slashers of old, which had budgets of peanuts.

The Conjuring

I was really shocked on how much i liked this film, it was great.

Pizzamorg · 08-15-2014, 01:39 AM

The only real issue I have with The Conjuring is how sequel baity it all is. It's pretty clear, early on, that what the producers really wanted here was a franchise and honestly I'd be perfectly happy for one. BUT... The movie skims over a lot, and also requires lots of logic leaps too, seemingly worried it may end up burning through material that could be used for later films.

It doesn't really get in the way of the experience overall but it's only when the film finishes that you realise how dumb or confusing so much of the film is despite a very simple narrative on paper. The film pretends to have a rich mythology, and hints at the complexity of it all, but never actually fills in the details - or never really in any meaningful way at least.

A lot of the crucial moments of the film require us to have an understanding and belief in the universe of The Conjuring, yet the movie never puts in the effort for us to have that kind of faith in our understanding of the inner workings and so it ends up fizzling out a bit.

Oculus.

Ok, wasnt sure if its about made or seen
EDIT: movie of 2013 might be rather production/ off. IMDB year. So, still Oculus.

Othrerwise, The Act of Killing [DC] then.
Concerning the previous debate, yeah its each own's take, whats horror or not. That simple.

All six on the poll.

3 - Insidious Chapter 2
2 - The Conjuring
1 - You're Next

Looking at the poll I just realized that, aside from The Purge, I've seen all of these.

I went with Evil Dead, and it was a pretty easy choice (even though it's inferior to the Raimi ones). Insidious: Chapter 2 was fairly enjoyable as well.

Abominus · 01-28-2016, 03:30 AM

The Conjuring.

Verisimilitude1984 · 01-28-2016, 04:19 PM

The Evil Dead.

You're Next, I love that movie. I think it's misunderstood.

I absolutely love that movie. Have you seen The Guest? Another great movie by Adam Wingard.

Just don't go in expecting horror. It has horror elements, but its a thriller overall. I really need to get the Blu ray of that sometime soon.
