Hi guys! How are you? My limbs and my nose has been frozen solid for the last few weeks. Hope you guys are in a better state.
I went to watch the Conjuring 2 on Thursday. I have absolutely no experience in horror movies. The last time I attempted to watch a “horror” movie was when I was when I was 9. I was dragged to watch Scary Movie 4 by my brother who was 6 at that time. And it doesn’t even count as a scary movie.
I made plans with a few friends to watch the new James Wan movie, the Conjuring 2, on Thursday. It was a very rushed get together and I haven’t seen the first movie. So I decided to watch the first movie the night before to get used to the director’s style and to have a taste of what I will be up against.
An hour into the movie:
Jump scares. Phone dropped three times. No cracks.
After revealing the cause of the haunting and the identity of the evil spirit etc etc it was alright for me. Probably because I’m used to watching exorcisms and stuff like that. I guess I have to thank my endless binge watching of TV shows like Supernatural (can we talk about the last episode of the last season? Is it just me or was it anticlimatic?) and random mangas and anime.
Thursday:
Despite my 3 week crave for Pringles I didn’t buy any because I am trying to save up for my South Korea trip in September. I don’t even have $1000 AUD yet.
We ended up in a small cinema theatre with seats near the back and the guys sitting behind us were really rude. They were constantly talking throughout the movie and doing something else on their phone.
There were jump scares, which I hate, as usual. Especially the last one! This time I didn’t drop my phone or anything. Proud of me? (*´∀`*)
What I realised with my limited horror movie experience is that the characters are so stupid. I understand the reason why the main characters would go to the cellar or into some basement filled with water since it’s their job. But why in the world would you go into a room where there’s apparently someone holding knives or figure out why your stupid toy truck is coming to life in the middle of the night.
Ok rant over.
Hopefully in the future there will be characters who aren’t like that. Though I know it’s unavoidable and required to get the story moving.
