HSW Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Has anybody seen this yet and if so is it as scary as they say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I haven't seen it yet but plan to tomorrow. Looks good so far on IMDB. Fairly high rating too (though it just came out, so take it with a grain of salt). I always love a well done supernatural horror flick, which (sadly) is fairly rare these days.

SKINS@THEGOALLINE Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I haven't seen it yet, although it is supposedly based on a true story . . . much like the"Exorcist". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 "Based on a true story" is always a fairly loose description. It gets even more loose with "Based on true events." With thta being said, it looks awesome. Just saw the trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor703 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I've yet to see it but the people I know that have seen it said it was incredibly disappointing. I'm a big horror fan and I was told to wait for the rental. Really wanted to go see it too but I'm going to wait it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herrmag Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I saw it last weekend. It doesn't live up to the hype, but it's not terrible either. If you go in with lowered expectations, you'll probably enjoy it. If you're expecting something that rivals the Exorcist, you'll be disappointed.

Yeah I was pretty bummed myself considering the crap that gets passed off as horror now. I honestly can't remember the last, new horror movie I've seen that was good....

NoCalMike Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I admit it, I jumped a couple of times. Â The problem is that it seems when it comes to horror, the big studios have to latch onto a single sub-genre at a time and play it out to death. Â They are still going forward with a Poltergeist remake, but by the time it is out we will have had Insidious 2, and possibly The Conjuring 2 (sequel is confirmed, just not sure for when). Â Also, is Patrick Wilson the go-to guy now for haunted house flicks? Â I did enjoy the movie, although the fact that they showed the demon so early kind of took away the effect from it later on. Â Also, the Warrens are the same couple involved in Amityville Horror, so I think the sequel may be about that case because..... Â ***SPOILERS*** Â Right at the end, the husband says to the wife "They want us to go check out a case in Long Island" Â and that is where Amityville Horror took placed.

grego Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 i saw sinister a couple of months back. i really expected it to be good, but halfway thru, i was shaking my head at the predictability and silliness of it. definitely did not live up to the hype.  heard good things about conjuring though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could probably spin 3 movies out of the whole thing. I don't think I've ever seen a movie on the Molly House. That would be pretty good I think.

88Comrade2000 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I saw it this afternoon. I liked it, a little slow. I think we pretty much know what the sequel will be about.  I remember listening to Lorriance in an interview once; she's still alive and had a cameo in the movie.

Destino Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 It's a good old school haunted house/demon style movie that's more about creepy atmosphere and music/sound than special effects. Movies like this require you to shut up, focus, and let them scare you. This is not an action movie at all. I liked it but I like movies like this. It's sort of like insidious but no hilarious black painted demon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybrant Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I went to see this yesterday and I enjoyed it. It was a lot better than some of the recent horror movies that I have seen lately (Insidious, Sinister) but I didn't go into it with really high expectations.  I really doubt that anything will be able to freak me out the way that The Exorcist did with the Spider Walk scene but I still enjoy watching these movies searching for something to make my hair stand up lol.
