Wan is just so good at creating a tense atmosphere. He put a lot more jump scares in here than the first Conjuring, but I though they were all well timed, well filmed and well earned. He also creates characters you actually care about. I hope to see further exploits of the Warrens in the future. Hopefully Wan will come back for more. High recommend for this one.Kyle Mulfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633797611187931312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-50993240269267000812016-06-15T15:21:32.435-05:002016-06-15T15:21:32.435-05:00Mike, I was about to show this to my wife and deci...Mike, I was about to show this to my wife and decided against it.

This was no exception. I think my least favorite movie of his is Saw. I think Dead Silence is underrated. Insidious 2 is my favorite. He directs the crap out of this movie. I think the length is the only thing that I would complain about. Patrick Wilson is great. I will watch anything with a woman that has the last name Farmiga. I would probably stick this movie in my top ten, so far, but I don't know if it will be there at the end of the year.

Mickey Keating)
I guess Mickey Kea...<i>Pod</i> (2015, dir. Mickey Keating)<br />I guess Mickey Keating is becoming the Joe Swanberg of indie horror in that he makes movies very cheaply and puts out 5 a year. The only thing I had seen from him prior to this was <i>Darling</i> (thanks, Ross!), which I really liked. This felt like taking a step backwards. There's some creepy stuff and I'm happy to see Lauren Ashely Carter again, but the movie reaches a shouty fever pitch early on and then never comes back down. It's all one shrill note. The performances are a little uneven and the 'twists' feel borrowed from better movies. Maybe this was some stuff he wanted to work out of his system before he could move on. I didn't hate it, but I probably won't go back to it. On the plus side it's only like 75 minutes long.Patrick Bromleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771837625286775607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-58984204905571583992016-06-14T04:02:13.161-05:002016-06-14T04:02:13.161-05:00So Evangeline Lilly doesn't mind having to pet...So Evangeline Lilly doesn't mind having to pet Black Phillip on a regular basis? :-O ;-) J.M.

It was very well made and probably really good, but I figured out what was going on pretty early and it probably lessened the impact a lot. I don't know if I would have noticed it if I wasn't looking for something, but I was and I did. The kids and the mom all give great performances and the movie is kinda creepy, but never particularly scary (except for a few specific images which were gross).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08764571200341102538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-37804234653267097002016-06-14T01:26:36.209-05:002016-06-14T01:26:36.209-05:00I was possibly the most worried about this film, i...I was possibly the most worried about this film, its really special to me, but I ended up loving it, The head on the toilet still makes me shudder, it could of been so much worse Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13900651640246375537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-20350715599054916422016-06-14T01:01:55.618-05:002016-06-14T01:01:55.618-05:00SecondedSecondedLindsay Wilkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18418341720079552415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-85344720195457141872016-06-14T00:34:09.801-05:002016-06-14T00:34:09.801-05:00Greatest... junesploitation comment.... ever.Greatest... junesploitation comment.... ever.Daniel Eplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866855763520017556noreply@blogger.com
