The Horror Thread [Archived] Movie • Page 383

I was hoping it'd be received better but I'm pretty sure i'll still end up having fun with it. just hope it doesn't make them second guess continuing with the conjuring universe cause I think there's so much potential for more stories even if not all of them are considered great.

The Nun Reviews: What CinemaBlend Thought Of The New Conjuring Universe Movie these reactions seem acceptable to me for a night out at a horror movie

 

I mean I’m not expecting It Follows or Raw with The Nun. Wasn’t planing on seeing it in theaters anyways, but just like Annabelle it will be a fun night with the wife/on demand.

 

Rewatching it several years ago and weird seeing Phil Dunphy in it

 

Re-watched The Conjuring movies in anticipation for tonight. Those movies are still great. I think people weren't as keen on the sequel, but it has so many great set pieces. I love it.

Not expecting too much from The Nun, but at least it's a short movie comparatively.

 

DAMMIT I for some reason thought Mandy went VOD today but it's next Friday

 

gotta find somewhere around me that will be playing Mandy

 

‘Are You Afraid of the Dark?’ Will Feature a Completely Original Story, Told By the Midnight Society

I'm loving the resurgence of horror for kids. Are You Afraid of The Dark?, Goosebumps, So Weird, Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, Courage The Cowardly Dog were so fucking good.

 

I'm super stoked for Are You Afraid of the Dark. though it sounds like it will be one story? I feel like that movie should be an anthology and have 3 or four stories told by members of the midnight society. still, interested to see how they do it.

but I completely agree, horror for kids coming back, awesome. also, Courage fucked me up hahah, loved it though.

 

Something I’ve been dying to talk about all week- we did an episode with writer/director Stephen Cognetti about Lake Mungo and his 2015 film HeLL House LLC/it’s planned sequel!

 

I haven't seen the remake or read the book, but that's definitely the feeling I got from the original movie

 

I'm excited to take my daughter to Goosebumps 2 and she wants to see The House With A Clock In Its Walls as well (awful title though)

 

i plan on listening to this later but can you quickly tell me, did you ask him WHY hell house needed a sequel? because i love that flick, and it didn't need one.

 

and he's like a total asshole in it! super weird to watch

 

welp i binged the first two seasons of the strain

i love this show

 

Haha I did not ask that because I’m just excited to see what else happens. I believe the sequel is more of a prequel about the hotel itself.

 

haha i hear ya. i'm still going to watch the hell out of it!

 

i see what you did there

 

Not sure why people are shocked that a Conjuring spin off isn't getting rave reviews.
The pattern so far has been that the first one is ho-hum, but still makes a ton of money then they get a better director for the sequel and everyone loves it again.

 

I thought The Nun was decent. The scares are standard fare and don't have the creativity of the Conjuring movies, but it's a brisk 90min, the Nun is still creepy looking af, and I loved the castle setting. Nothing amazing, but not garbage either.

 

I rarely hate movies but I’m pretty sure I hated the Nun. For a horror movie it was so boring. Very little scares. I think what annoys me the most is all the wasted potential. The set designs were gorgeous and all, but meh. I just wanted it to end. And I’ve loved all the Conjuring movies so far, even the first Annabel was fun. Oh well.

 

Thinking about watching Train to Busan on Netflix later on. Good idea?

 

I loved Train to Busan but like also prepare to get v emotional

 

good idea

 

Train to Busan is so good.
