I didn't bother with the second Conjuring (I thought the first was HIGHLY overrated) and the Abigail spinoffs were lame. I liked Insidious, but hated the sequels. Don't do gore-porn, so never bothered with Saw after the first. Didn't care for the Babadook or "It Follows" either, which are two of the better rated films these past few years. I have yet to see "It" or "Get Out" but plan to soon.

And yes...every Paranormal Activity movie has sucked. Rec did found footage sooo much better.

Anyways.

Abigail? Do you mean Annabelle? That movie was utter garbage and has nothing to do with The Conjuring other than being based on the doll of the same name.

Not sure what to say if you didn't like It Follows because it was like getting a modern day John Carpenter film.

The problem is that studios rely way too much on jump scares and gore as it that is what makes a horror movie good when it isn't. It's about the suspense, the tension, sitting at the edge of your seat in anticipation for what you know is going to happen, but unsure how or when it is going to go down.
