Question

between insidious and conjuring, which of them do we find more horrorifing​

Answer 1

Insidious.

The first one was rather cool. The third one too. The second, not very interesting. Not seen the other ones (not yet).

It’s hard to explain why…I don’t know, both franchises / series of movies are typical hollywood movies of our time: easy jump scares, etc. Pop corn horror movies for teenagers.

Now…there was despite all some really creepy stuffs in Insidious. For instance the idea that some parts of the movie take place IN THE WORLD OF THE DEAD…It’s not Heaven or Hell, its something in between…What do they call it in the movies ? The Further that’s it ? (Don’t know I haven’t seen it in English). Indeed it’s the LIMBOS…

The idea that some scenes take place in that limbo / further works rather well and the atmosphere of it, is rather creepy. Creepy enough to owe the movie a B for the long time, demanding, horror movies fan I am.

Conjuring ? When it came out all the medias here labeled the movie one of the scariest movies ever, etc. So I was excited. My wife too, as she loves supernatural horror movies too. Both of us were disappointed. The movie is not scary at all. Not one second of it is scary. Feels like a supernatural horror movies you have already seen 100 million times; Nothing original.

There is ONE scene, one unique scene, of Conjuring 2 that I’d call creepy: when the Nun’s shadow glides on the wall and then join the picture and that comes to life…That was creepy. All the rest was not. And Anabelle was even less creepy.

Answer 2

before Insidious and The Conjuring came along. It used to be relatively easy to tell the major horror movie franchises apart. Freddy killed you in your dreams, Jason killed you at summer camp, Michael Myers only attacked on Halloween and Chucky was a plastic doll so he really stood out in a lineup.
