patsylabrador Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I saw The Conjuring yesterday and it was scary! I was actually hugging myself at one point. But I have to say I was thoroughly enjoying myself. It was the kind of scary I remember from being told a ghost story when I was little, or from when I lived in the countryside and my route home from school went through a graveyard. It didn't have to I just liked the creepiness. I didn't want the film to end and I want to see it again. It's based on the experiences of two demonologists during the 70s which adds to the thrill. I always go to the cinema on Sunday mornings when OH is at work as he likes more jolly films and so that I can avoid the crowds and there were only five of us viewing it altogether. Bliss. Next on my list is Insidious 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I was thinking about your question as to whether I liked scary films. The answer is no - I hate them. BUT I LOVE scary books! Maybe I like the fact I can put the book down from time to time - or maybe I'm just weird??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 My YD and her fiends went to see this last week despite them all only being 14 I think that she was pretty scared by it, but she did say that it was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 I was given The Conjuring on DVD this week as a birthday present. I ha forgotten just how scary it is. There is one very small scene, maybe only a few seconds long that made me jump so much. 1408 - so oppressively scary, you'll love it.

Claireabella Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I love scary films - I'm not keen on the gory horror (Saw etc.) but I love the psychological/ paranormal type films. I brought The Conjuring on DVD too (missed it at the cinema), I've watched it three times I think the fact that it's based on real people makes it all the more scary I haven't seen a good horror for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I think I've seen so many scary films I'm immune - they make me laugh now - not so hubby because he won't look at them (the wuss). The only one that really terrified me was Night of the Demon. Really old film but I remember walking home in the dark having got off the train late at night (work party at Christmas) and going along the footpath through the woods. I ran hell for leather through the trees and didn't look behind me! And when I was a lot younger I'd been watching a vampire film and went upstairs to close my curtains (my bedroom was a loft conversion) and my blooming cat was looking in the window and I yelled because her eyes were glowing down at me. Little demon! Oh Paddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! After that I used to go up with my eyes shut and grope for the curtains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
