…they made “my big fat Greek wedding” THREE?
They’ve been out of movie ideas for about 20 years now. Where you been?!
I get what you mean but there are literally 3 movies in that list that are original ideas. Not saying they are good, but the are not sequels.
TIL There's a Gran Turismo movie.
Yeah I feel like this thing should have been released 15-20 years ago
They've been spamming ads in theaters...
Wow jawan made this much money from India
I don't get it. How can anyone see literally any movie in the Conjuring Universe and go, "Man, that was great. I'd love to watch more like that!"? It's the same bullshit schtick, the same cheap scare tactics, and the same poor actors that play the Warrens. How are any of those movies considered "good, scary" movies? Annabelle was terrible, the first Nun was just dark and goofy.
I think I just dislike James Wan's work, because Insidious was just god awful as well.
I’m not a horror/thriller fan. I do see why it’s an easy churn and burn genre though. Lot of these don’t have to be good to make a profit. Cheap to make and it’s a good group experience. Just have to give audience a good cinema experience to justify ticket purchase.
But that's the problem.... They aren't even a good cinema experience. :/
When your entire movie relies on jump scares to be scary, your not doing a good job. Dread is a huge component to horror movies and there's very few movies that truly and properly pull that off. For example:
- The Descent
- V/H/S (First video)
- The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- Paranormal Activity (1st one)
- The Silence of the Lambs
That's horror. Those are rightfully scary, they have meat to them. They stick with you, and you can't stop thinking about them. They don't rely on stupid people making absolutely stupid decisions (a.k.a. Ebert's Idiot Plot) and they don't fall apart as you think about them.
I agree with you for most of the Conjuring universe movies. However, James Wan didn't direct this Nun sequel, and I think it was WAY better. Still ridiculous and reliant on jump scares, but it had a lot of original ideas and I personally think it is the best of the Conjuring movies.
