It might be worth it to watch Exorcist 2 again just to remind yourself what happened in it, but 3 is really good. There are little things in it that are just sooooooooooo creepy-scary, and if you blink you miss them, but they're just so good.
Deliver Us from Evil has some typical tropes, but the fun thing is that it doesn't go anywhere near teenage girls. There IS also a movie about people getting trapped in an elevator and being killed and the movie is called Devil. Not sure if you've seen that one, but it's pretty creepy.
Yeah, that whole last minute "it's a cult" thing was really weird and needed more time considering that that whole family that was in the cult didn't really try and get rid of the faux exorcist that was filming the whole thing.
I don't remember much of The Nun other than I wasn't as satisfied with it as I'd hoped to be (because the nun was creepy af in The Conjuring 2). I'll have to watch out for 2 so that I can download and check it out.
Exactly. The Raggedy Ann Annabelle doll would've been far creepier. Yes, old dolls are creepy, but that movie Annabelle was made ridiculously creepy to the point of not really being that creepy.
I do rewatch Conjuring 1 and 2 more than I do 3, and I know they're planning on a 4th, I think, to end the franchise or something. I don't know. I like the Warrens in the movies (despite being syrupy-Christian), but reading about the real Warrens is kind of upsetting with how many people point them out as frauds - but then you have people who dealt with them and didn't find them to be frauds. It's really hard to gauge a lot of that. I know that there's a limited series called The Enfield Haunting. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it. It's all British (Timothy Spall and Matthew McFayden) - and that's the haunting that Conjuring 2 is based on. Apparently, the Warrens did try to get involved with that but made things worse, so obviously Conjuring 2 should be watched with a grain of salt in that oh they solved it all on their own yada yada yada. But I like 3 okay enough, but so many things felt. *Forced*.
Leave it to me to not realize that Ouija 2 was Mike Flanagan (even though it's got two of his favorite people in it to use in all his projects). LOL I liked that one. I liked the original one, too, but the second was a good sequel, which doesn't always happen.
I think you said you'd seen The Black Phone, which was terrifying and really good, and they're planning a sequel. I don't know how they'll do a sequel, but they're planning for one. I also really like the two Sinister movies. Those *always* scare the fuck out of me, esp the first one - they're so *elegantly* terrifying, too. They have effects in there that just blow me away and scare the shit out of me at the same time. It's like...if horror were poetry. And I've now got all the Insidious movies - the very last one they did was gorgeous and a lovely ending for that one with that family. Ty Simpkins was so great in it.
