Unpopular movie opinions.

Recommended Posts







Good horror movies are rare these days.  The Conjuring is the first horror movie to come along in awhile that feels like a lot of effort was put into it.  A horror film that is carefully crafted from start to finish with suspense, thrills, and fucked up creepiness without stupid or lame revelations/final acts along with characters that aren't completely annoying or act like cliched horror movie fodder every chance they get are hard to come by.  Even the kids weren't annoying in it.  The Conjuring is my favorite horror movie since The Descent.

 

Stuff like Mama, gorefests + tortureporn, and especially the Paranormal Activity movies are all low effort nonsense.

The Blair Witch Project is great because its mostly about people unraveling and mentally breaking down very convincingly.  All the weird creepy stuff that happens in that movie is almost secondary.

Yeah, Blair Witch is a great horror movie. One of my favorites for all the reason you mentioned. :)

 

Its too bad the sequel sucked so hard. :angry:

- I'm getting tired of the superhero genre, I don't see why there is a need to make so many superhero movies every year.- The hobbit 1 and hobbit 2 are good movies (but hobbit 2 is better)

I could be wrong but im going out on a limb here, I'm guessing it's because they earn a lot of money?

I didn't get sucked into the hype of The Conjuring. I found it to be just like most other horror movies about possession. I agree more effort was put in and the kids weren't annoying but I was still unsatisfied with the end product. I think great horror movies are so rare these days that when's one simply just good, it's a big accomplishment.
