No. He's all formula and no real substance.

Yeah. The conjuring 2 was pretty good. Glad there was no cliffhanger or hint at a sequel.
>>

Everything is formulaic, the only thing that matters is execution.

>>70847181
His hair looks like its always wet

ehh?
but it thought the conjuring is about the Warren couples going around doing cases?
if that is the premise then they should be able make as many as they can, right?
unless you are trying to say that one of them or both get killed in the second movie, i didn't watch it yet but you can spoil it if you want to


also james is doing alright in term of making western horror movie

feel bad man, is it the senility that holding him back?

Nothing like that happens. They could easily continue to pump out sequels if they choose to go that route.
>>
conjuring 3 confirmed right?
>>
>>70847181
south east asian lad here. james is from malaysia. this guy grew up in a "kampung", or rural village, surrounded by jungle. rural malaysia is a hotpot of paranormal activity and superstition. so hes been...born in it...raised by it. so yes he is best director for horror.

What was good about it?
I honestly can't tell the difference between Conjuring, Insidious, and every other non-found footage horror movie of the last decade.

Pale faced humans standing in corners. Faces appearing in space between door/doorframe, human spookily oookily voices that I could mimic with ease, FUCKING CHILDREN ARE NEVER SCARY, THEY CANNOT ACT, and the same sequential "investigative" breakdown of events.

It's so predictable and boring. There's nothing truly unsettling and disturbing about any of it. There's nothing that makes you reel back without some cheap jumpscare or gore gag. It's not creepy or even eerie, it's just boring. I want something that makes you question the motives of the director or screenwriter for producing such a disturbing of fiction.

Not generic haunted house shit. Stop using Amityville as a plot point, jesus christ.

He never saw comedy until he was already a man, by then it was nothing to him but a tool to relieve tension between jumpscares.
