| Leynos said: Conjuring films are some of the blandest and most Hollywood horror films out there. I don't get the love. The stupid overdesigned doll. The stupid-looking nurse. It's so overdesigned for something trying to be serious. They are putting shlock in there but acting like it isn't. Everything about them is so hokey and contrived. Insidious was stupid as fuck. Darth Maul is the demon...lol really?! Annabelle films are just pure trash. Conjuring 2 is even goofier as that voice the girl does I can easily do and I have. I did it as a kid for goofs. It's just silly. I'd be ok with these series being self-aware how goofy they are but the fact they pretend to be real makes them so fucking shit and stupid. |
The conjuring 1 and 2 are just two solid horror films in my opinion. They don't necessarily do anything new, but the way they actually make the characters in the films more fleshed out and likable is a big plus in my book. Also james wan seems to have such a great understanding of how to create tension and build up in his films. My favourite example being the clap game from the 1st conjuring, something shown to be an innocent thing early on in the film made into one of the best scares in the film later. I don't consider these films to be the pinnacle of horror filmmaking but they are effective rollercoaster hotter films.
The first insidious is similar but not quite as well done.
Honestly from the way your speaking horror doesn't seem to be the genre for you.
