The Conjuring 2 was insanely good.

Has anybody else seen it? I'm not the biggest fan of horror movies, but this one was honestly amazing in every way. It was terrifying, but it had a good story, great characters, and I actually felt invested in what was going on. I never saw the first one, but now that I know how good this was and considering people speak even higher about the original, I definitely want to see it.

I didn't think that the Babadook was honestly that good, but take what I say with a grain of salt- I watched that movie in a pretty inconsistent way because it was on while I was at a party. But even as someone who really doesn't get into horror movies, I think this is a great one to go see in theaters with your friends just to have the shit scared out of you. Even barring the horror elements, the film was genuinely interesting and enjoyable.

Usually horror films are awful at developing characters so that you actually feel concerned when they're in danger, and when someone dies, I just don't care. But this entire film, any time someone was at risk, I was legitimately upset at the thought of something happening to them.

-The scene with the kid in the tent made me shit myself. Really most of the stuff with the old man was terrifying. The bit where the kid is walking around and you see him sitting in the chair as the kid walks past the doorway was one of those 'shit bricks' moments

-The bit where they have to turn around and the girl slowly morphs into the old man out of focus was well done and creepy

-The nun was scary but I think when she had sharp teeth she was less scary. The hallway scene was an unexpected scare and FUCK that painting scene.

I was going to go see it last night, but there were no showings.

Then again it was like two in the morning.

It looked like corny shit in the ads tho

Pretty good horror.

Quite a lot of jump scares to be fair, but the reveals and then later tension building scenes made it genuinely scary for me.

Yeah, I thought this was a really clever piece of cinematography.

Bruh, the first one was ace.

Saw it a few weeks ago, thought it was pretty good but not as amazing as everyone makes out. I've watched a lot of horror films though.

Honestly, it probably has something to do with the age I was when I watched it but the first paranormal activity was the scariest movie I've seen. Only horror movie that stayed with me for a good while.
