NewUsername 11,742 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Hard to choose. From both franchises, the first 2 movies were really strong. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roughhouse Dandy 13,363 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago (edited) Patrick Wilson 🙌🏼 Both franchises are fun. Insidious only really hit for me with the first one, and that one scene in the 3rd installment with the closing curtains in the bedroom. The Conjuring consistently found inventive scares, and the 2nd one is one of the most unnerving modern movies imo. The Conjuring takes it.

Call me pretentious but I find the likes of the Conjuring franchise too popcorn horror for me. They just rehash the same old cliché horror tropes and never break any new ground. But still good fun dgmw. I think I’ve probably become too desensitised to that style of horror. I find movies that fall more in the 'elevated horror’ category more interesting. Hereditary (banger!) Midsommar Robert Egger’s movies - especially The Witch (but Nosferatu and The Lighthouse are insane to and I can't wait for Werwulf later this year!) Speak No Evil (the original Danish version) Hokum Barbarian The Substance Skinamarink (that’s a hard watch) A Dark Song (my no.1 favourite) A Wounded Fawn Longlegs Hush Oddity Apostle Talk To Me / Bring Her Back Gretel And Hansel Stopmotion Suspiria ,,,, to name a few..

Anderson123 42,228 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Daddy Wilson. Both movies are great, as a franchise I think The Conjuring 1 - 4 have done really well. Insidious 1 is amazing and to this day there are scenes that still give me some chills, but the rest of the movies haven't had that re watch value for me but they're still good. I'd say Conjuring 1, 2 and Insidious 1 are top of the list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickoNacko 36 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago The Conjuring 1 and 2 are peak horror movies for me, they're so good! But I think the other movies are pretty hit or miss. I don't really like 1 and 4...neither Nun movies are that good...but I really like Annabelle Creation and Annabelle Comes Home. I've only seen the first Insidious.

NUTELLA 24,719 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago The first half of the first Insidious scared me more than all of the Conjuring movies I've seen, combined & I don't even remember how many of the Conjurings I've seen because (imo) they're all pretty meh 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the type of creepy stuff people see in real life, or that Conjuring 2 scene when the girl turns off the TV and you see the old man sitting on that couch in the reflection. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t even remember the second half of Insidious… but unsettling ambiance & jump scares of the first half have stuck with me all these years later. The whispering/yelling on the baby monitor, the house alarms repeatedly going off/front door opening at night, the younger kid describing how the comatose kid walks around, that giant man casually pacing back & forth on the balcony (until he… isn’t), the face behind the baby bassinet, the dancing kid hidden beneath the coat rack, Barbara Hershey describing her dream… & of course (arguably one of the most effective scares ever)… the sudden face behind Patrick Wilson The Conjuring is evergreen as a franchise/source for spin-offs because of that married couple, but none of their stuff has ever been as effectively upsetting as the first Insidious (for me) Honestly, I think the only time I felt afraid during a Conjuring movie was the nun's first appearance (before she became oversaturated as a horror icon) "Mom... who's that?" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these are sooo good. But too me it's also kinda funny that you would call The Conjuring and Insidious overrated, but list Hereditary and The Substance Spoiler Ok, Toni Collette was amazing in Hereditary, especially in that scene, but still.
