Horror James Wan's "The Conjuring"

Just realized that the ghost boy with the white eyes is based on this photo.

If another Conjuring movie is made and it also gets a spin off, I guess these movies should be called the Conjuring Cinematic Universe.

Saw this last night and enjoyed it. My theater was empty, though, and I wish I had gotten to see it with a packed house.

That actually sounds like it would make it scarier - unsure if I could see a horror movie in that kind of setting.

 

[The Shape]

Horror movies pretty much don't scare me at all, but I usually enjoy seeing them with big crowds because I get a kick out of all the screams and audible reactions to the scares.

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

I don't think a Crooked Man spin-off would be a good idea. Most of the reviews that were negative point that out as being the part that jumped the shark for them. Also, the Nun was much scarier, so, it makes more sense to go with that.

The nun came off as very generic to me. It doesn't surprise me that she was a last minute addition.

Is that thing in the corner supposed to be it, cause I thought it was light glistening off the banister orb.

I really enjoyed this. I'm so glad I went in without a clue of what to expect. That little girl is such a good actor.

I saw this Friday night with a few of my friends...unfortunately, we had some audible attendees. I kind of think, in a way, that deterred my experience with this film a bit. Like TheShape, I enjoy watching horror films in a crowded theater. It's fun and really adds to the entertainment.

This was definitely another solid entry by James Wan, however, I'm not sure I like it as much as the first. What made the first one so enticing was that it felt "real". Granted I know the whole bird storm and stuff can be a little absurd but, it maintained a sense of "realism". I'm glad to hear the Crooked Man bit was a little jarring for others. That part just seemed so out of place.

I felt like this Conjuring installment played out more like a typical Hollywood horror film. That's not necessarily a bad thing because where it delivered, it truly excelled. Some of the visuals were awesome and the tricks Wan plays on the audience were great as well.

The Demon-Nun painting was an awesome scene...as well as the shadow special effects of that scene. I think I'm going to see this film again and try to get a better judgement of it. (One where I don't have people talking to the characters behind me.)

Glad to hear a lot of you guys enjoyed this film. Hopefully horror films make the comeback they so desperately deserve.

Saw it over the weekend. Loved it. It was genuinely creepy on some parts. I was never a fan of jump scares since it seems gimmicky, but there weren't that many here, and some of the scenes were creepy as heck. Had a grand ol' time being scared lol!

A bit too much fat on this second entry. I didn't think there were any sequences as well put together as many parts of the first film. The crooked man could have been cut out entirely and the only thing lost would have been some iffy effects work.

On a side note, I caught the Wan-produced Light's Out tonight. Fantastic movie all around.

They weren't effects.

Really enjoyed this. Wan is brilliant at creating atmosphere in his horror films. The way he lights scenes and shot choices are fantastic. A lot of directors that attempts making horror films don't do as good a job with the mechanics of filmmaking as wan does.

It was interesting watching this having previously watched the sky Enfield haunting mini series.

Bill was the Alf Garnett of ghosts.

3 is a go

So much for the guy suing them

James Wan not directing makes me sad.

 

[the last son]

Loved the first. Second was unwatchable

James Wan not directing

...I don't like that.

Producer Updates That ‘The Conjuring 3’ Will Likely Be Filming Next Year

Speaking with Cinema Blend, producer Peter Safran updates that everything is moving along on the Conjuring 3 front, with David Leslie Johnson (The Conjuring 2) penning the script.

“It’s actually coming along great,” Safran told the site. “David Leslie Johnson is working on the screenplay, and I feel pretty confident they will have that one up and running next year.”

At this time, we don’t yet know where the third film will take Patrick Wilson‘s Ed Warren and Vera Farmiga‘s Lorraine Warren, but we at Bloody Disgusting have heard that James Wan will *not* be directing The Conjuring 3.

No Wan? Booooooooooooo

 

[Kane52630]

Adam Robitel would be a good choice to pick.

 

[Matt Mortem]

No Wan definitely dampens my interest in the third film. I will probably see it, but this is Wan's franchise. I'd much prefer he do the third than anyone else.

 

[TheVileOne]

It was never proven that the Amityville case was a hoax though?

The Lutz's even on their deathbed maintained they were truthful and that it wasn't a hoax, as well as passing a lie detector test(I know a person can fake a lie detector), and while there will always be speculation as to whether or not it happened. I have to say that I believe Amityville was very real and the claims themselves are creepy, ridiculous, and outlandish as a whole that they were risking massive ridicule by making their experiences known to the public.

Lie detectors are not admissible in court for a reason. Jeremy Piven also passed a lie detector test.

I love the first two films. No Wan definitely sucks, but hopefully they get someone who can get close. I could watch the adventures of those two forever with Vera and Patrick in the roles.

Yeah no Wan does suck. But like you said I love the first 2 and Patrick and Vera is always good.

 

[Dilly Dilly]

No Wan probably likely means this will end up just like the spin offs

Bad

Ah well

Agreed on wanting Wan to direct the third, but I'd be open to another director with at least a decent track record, like maybe Mike Flanagan, David F Sandberg, or Robert Eggers. I'd be open to Ari Aster too, even though I wasn't really a fan of Hereditary, although I appreciated some of his directorial style (the writing in that movie is what hurt it, IMO).
