I feel like The Conjuring is below them as actors yet they keep doing it

>>214420249 (OP)
They're actors, nothing is below them.

>>214420263
Hitchcockpilled?

>>214420249 (OP)
I get the impression that they're a relatively (lol) small production team that sincerely enjoys working together. Maybe that fell away at some point and they're just getting churned out for exec profit, but they probably say 'fuck it' and have fun.
>mfw the end scene of Annebelle goes home or whatever where he whips out a guitar and asks if anyone wants to hear a song.
Cheeky cunts.

>>214420249 (OP)
Patrick Wilson directed the last Insidious movie so he clearly takes his job in horrorslop very seriously. I'd rather have actors take it seriously and make stuff "below" them rather than the usual ironyslop of today.

>>214420249 (OP)
>Easy money
>Easy role
>Fun co-workers
Why wouldn't they say yes. Both of them already probably have enough money between them to retire. Hundred times over anyways

>>214420249 (OP)
They are faces, nothing more.
If anything, they're far below the average human, because they take part in pushing propaganda.

They're both B-listers and it seems they're ok with it. I do wish they'd do some bigger projects, since they're both really good. But maybe they don't feel like it

I'll never stop being amazed at how trash modern CGI is. This looks like a PS2 game

4 years later and I still think it's hilarious that the conjuring 3 is rated 18 over in the UK

>>214420249 (OP)
They put butts in seats

>>214420557
I constantly feel like I'm going insane by how few normies have commented on how repulsive VFX has become. So much money, so little talent.

FPBP

>>214420557
ps3, but yeah

>>214420548
I hate how all fight sequences use the camera as a floating drone now. They don't design impressive set pieces for one or two locked cameras any more, its all this noisy fast-cut action all the time.

>>214420249 (OP)
The dude literally wrote/directed the last Insidious film - he's 4 real

>>214423499
Patrick Wilson even sang! the song in the fucking credits! Look it up, Conjuringfags

>>214420249 (OP)
It's steady, reliable work.

There's a TV series that they'll probably get paid for too, even if they're not in it.

>>214420249 (OP)
Isn't this the last one? Did they announce another?

>>214420479
The funny thing is that scene often is lauded as one of the best in its movie (Conjuring 2). In a world of post-ironic and lolrandom humor, it comes of as a genuinely touching moment. Some kids are terrified of a spoopy ghost tearing apart their lives, so Patrick Wilson sits them down on the couch with him, takes a guitar and quietly croons Elvis to them to give them some peace in a quiet moment. The Conjuring series, even at its cheesiest, has a way of humanizing Ed and Lorraine Warren and making them actually seem like nice fucking people as opposed to yet another brooding antihero or a nihilistic 'lol who cares' quipster

>>214420548
Pajeet quality animation

>>214420660
The BBFC have some very arbitrary rules for making stuff an 18, especially if it's 'reproducible'. The Matrix would have been an 18 if they didn't cut the headbutts. The Suicide club episode of Paranoia Agent was completely refused certification.

>>214420794
i just watched the Belko Experiment and they must have run out of money because the deaths at the end were really rushed and kind of heard but not really shown, and the mastermind guy's scar makeup was cracking and falling off, which was so distracting.

>>214423499
>>214423515
He did a good directing job but unfortunately they let the subhuman from the new Exorcist movie write the fucking thing. Half of it was just goofy DEI Scooby Doo shit in a frat house.

>>214423630
i really appreciate in Insidious 1 when the wife says "NO FUCK THIS WE'RE MOVING" and he says, "okay yeah"

>>214420249 (OP)
I think thats a very sweet thing to say. Genuinely.

I've never had a gay thought but I really Patrick Wilson and I can't explain why.

Shame the 2nd Aquaman was completely destroyed by COVID and Amber Heard. First one was one of my favourite superhero movies. But Aquaman 2 was really bad, but it wasn't Momoa or Wilson's fault.

>>214423630
They're extremely likable in a wholesome boomer way, unironically. They love each other, they love their daughter, they fight demons and praise Jesus. Of course that's based (and unexpected) compared to the gay satanic modern culture we live in now.

>>214423683
Shame it was all according to keikaku

>>214423630
I found it amusing that we got 3 completely different retellings of the Enfield ghosts in just the space of a few years.

Not bad for someone who could throw their voice and a few polaroids of people jumping on their beds and pretending they were floating

>>214423769
Chat, is this real?

>>214423738
>Shame it was all according to keikaku
well yeah, there wouldn't be much of a movie otherwise, but we need more horror flicks where "i know! let's LEAVE." is taken seriously but goes wrong for them.
>go to a hotel but everyone involved gets withdrawal symptoms until they go back home
>move to a family or friend's place somewhat nearby and continually keep sleepwalking back to the haunted place
>go elsewhere and wake up to find that not only has your house supernaturally replaced the house across the street overnight, but there is now a tunnel between it and your new sanctuary, effectively linking them as one big haunted entity

>>214423769
the idiocy of people is so distressing to me.
i thought the internet would educate people but it's just made them easier to turn into dependent brainlets

>>214423819
NTA I agree, it's a good compromise. Also scarier when people act with common sense and a decent level of intelligence but it's still not enough.

>>214423846
To the Conjuring 2 writers's credit is does actually refer to these images and says they were obvious fakes to try to get the Warrens to leave.

Still no excuse for this being a big news story in the UK and probably one of the most famous 'real' ghost stories around (Borely rectory being another, also a known hoax)

>>214423908
>scarier when people act with common sense and a decent level of intelligence but it's still not enough.
exactly! if they behave like characters doing dumb shit to drive the plot forward, i see them as just that. yawn.

I think that's cool though. If I was an actor I'd prefer something like that or being the ballistic expert in CSI for 11 seasons than taking myself too seriously and doing boring dramas and shit just to see if Oscar notices me and gives me an award.

>>214423917
yeah the movie handles it pretty well but it's the real life hoax and others like it that drive me up the wall.
the balloon boy shit was infuriating. you had to turn off your brain to accept that there was ANY weight in that floaty sheet of foil, let alone a whole kid.
That scam artist and his mail order wife shouldn't have been given anything beyond a hefty citation and a visit from CPS

>>214424047
What will hoaxes be like in the age of AI and deepfakes?

>>214423957
I always like horror with smart people behaving on a believably smart way without plot convenient temporary stupidity (see Alien Covenant). Heretic was good for that too (even if being smart ended up being according to keikaku again), was nice to see someone actually call out the Religulous bullshit that euphoric atheists trot out.

>>214420548
The fisheye lense used here is genuinely nauseating.

>>214424077
people will believe the dumbest hoax and will somehow refuse to believe something happening right in front of them.

>>214424207
Rising percentage of the population who have no mental images or internal monologue...

>>214420548
Can say what you want about Snyder but this shit would've never made it past storyboard with him.

>>214420249 (OP)
Actors are class clowns and theater kids, nothing is below them

1. I can't stand these two shitty actors in anything they've done
2. Ed and Lorraine Warren were known bullshitters and scammers capitalizing on satanic panic. They were shitty people in their private lives too
3. All of these jumpscare horror flicks are awful. The simple, low budget, made-for-tv "The Haunted" (1991) is a better movie involving anything involving Ed and Lorraine than all of these modern ones combined.

it doesn't

don't remember asking
*unplugs ur mic*

>>214424538
my apu has 9 other mics on that pic. at least make an effort

Can you guys give me a gist of the series and then spoil this movie for me? It's not like I will ever watch it but I'm curious about how it ends

>>214420249 (OP)
theyre just having fun at this point

>>214424594
Each movie is very loosely based on a ""true"" event, with more jumpscares and overdesigned entities. Kinda creepy in areas, but ultimately just "turn your brain off" kinda movies.

>>214424741
And how is that tied to the protagonists being involved in all that shenanigans? Are they investigators?

>>214420548
This "cinematographer" should be shot. It's all pure shit, but the fact that Gunn is enamored with him and just can see the "le dynamic" camera movements and not the literal amateur hour blown-out highlight overexposure and the shit lenses is maddenning.

What kind of no-taste garbagemuncher likes this aesthetic, ffs

>>214424803
They're "real life" paranormal investigators who were all involved the cases the films are based on. There's a thread hanging between them in that it seems the demons are all somehow targetting them and that the wife is having a premonition of the husband dying repeatedly (not sure if it happens in the latest film as I haven't seen it but probably not)

>>214424861
Humm, interesting. Thanks, anon

He's not aging yet she's walling hard

>>214420249 (OP)
>show up
>make a scared face at a nun or whatever these movies are about
>walk away with a few million bucks
Oh no

>>214420249 (OP)
Easy gig. Actors are risk-averse because they're at the mercy of filmmakers.

>>214420548
This is beyond embarrassing. Hollywood is truly dead and buried.

>>214424914
She smokes cigarettes. I don't think her daughter does though so if u need a new waifu go for it.

>>214424914
They're also going out of their way to grandma-mode Vera to resemble the real life Lorraine Warren despite the film makers being oddly adamant about Patrick Wilson being pretty thin while real life Ed Warren was chubby for most of his life and straight up obese by retirement age. Can't have a fat leading man I guess despite the movies repeatedly insisting that Ed is out of shape and one more bad scare will literally explode his fluttering quail heart

>>214425900
At the same time Ed's also some kind of beast in close quarters combat. He went Donkey Kong on that satanic altar in 3.

>>214425900
>grandma-mode Vera to resemble the real life Lorraine Warren
That's how I remember her on shows like Sightings and Unsolved Mysteries. She even popped up in Paranormal State a few times.

Her husband was long dead but she never stopped grifting.

>>214420249 (OP)
Probably really fun. I like the movies. Would totally star in one for kicks

This franchise is so old that a lot of what's powering the box office is pure nostalgia. Hell, I was 19 when the first one came out and even I'm weirdly nostalgic about them.

>>214420548
>Trust to convince opponent she isn't evil

>>214425741
>She smokes cigarettes
that causes you to age overnight?

Never saw The Conjuring. Are any of them worth watching?

>>214426140
they are modern horror flicks designed to lure teenagers so dont expect anything special but they're kinda fun and carried by wilson and farmiga. james wan is a competent director too so check out the first one.

>>214426140
the first one is really good, the second one is passable. As with Insidious, the quality starts to drop when James Wan is not the director

>>214426140
It's kind of comfy-kino with jump scares.
