****, now I HAVE to buy it.
 
I think all the talk about The Conjuring has convinced me to go see it. :)
 
Besides Pacific Rim, I will have to see Red 2, RIPD this weekend (and 'Only God Forgives' isn't opening up here yet)
 
Saw the conjuring last night and was pleasantly suprised. Nice back to basics old school horror feel with little CGI was great. Definitely spooky
 
Watched the conjuring with my wife. Wasn't scary at all....what's that smell you ask? That's ****. In my pants.
 
Wow, The Conjuring was something else. Easily the best horror movie in a long time. Some really freaky stuff and it was extremely well done.
 
Wow...you all must not have seen any old school horror movies. I thought "The Conjuring" was boring, predictable, and a way less psychologically intriguing version of "The Exorcist". I've seen "Scooby Doo" episodes that were scarier. I mean....you knew something was gonna happen with that perfectly creepily shaped tree, didn't you?
 
L.A. Film Fest Review: 'Delivery' Brings Scary and Entertaining New Life to Well-Known Horror Genres | The Playlist

"Found Footage" is a tired trope, so one hesitates to lump in "Delivery" with the rest of the found footage horror genre because it's not under the guise of amateur "found" footage, it's footage that was specifically created— just for something quite different than what it was intended. "Delivery" makes horror out of what might be the least horrific genre (depends on who you ask) imaginable: the pregnancy reality show. Director Brian Netto and co-writer Adam Schindler have taken the taken both the found footage and reality show genres, and mashed them into one very scary and very entertaining homage to "Rosemary's Baby," and a worthy entrant into the pregnancy horror genre.

"Delivery" offers up recognizable tropes in a whip-smart and highly entertaining piece of indie genre fare. Much like the granddaddy of found footage, "The Blair Witch Project," "Delivery" knows that even just a well-placed twig can make your skin crawl if the context, storytelling, pace and dread are there. It's refreshing to see how effective lo-fi and simple things like that can be in a horror market saturated with CGI. "Delivery" has a strong sense of its own storytelling and cinematic historical context, and is a creepy-fun-scary flick that will leave you needing a hug, for sure. [B+]
 
Review: Horror Anthology Sequel 'V/H/S/ 2' | The Playlist

"V/H/S 2" is a whole lot of fun. We can imagine fans of midnight movies shrieking with delight at some of the sections, and "Safe Haven" is, by our estimation, a bold piece of original horror that will widely be revered, applauded and (like any good piece of balls-out horror) widely derided. We'd love to see the series, if it does in fact continue, continue to diversify the types of stories and the locations where those stories (and filmmakers) are based. But an anthology has to be graded on an average; it is, after all, only as good as the sum of its bloody body parts.
