Warner Bros. has a release date for The Conjuring 2

The-Conjuring-02

I’ve got some quick release date news to pass along to you guys as Warner Bros. has just slated the sequel to James Wan’s massive hit The Conjuring for an October 23, 2015 release, setting it up just in time to haunt theaters right before Halloween! At first glance it’s kind of surprising to see that they aren’t going to give it a July release where the original film pulled in over $300 million worldwide. But as you guys know, the summer movie season is filled with one blockbuster after another, and 2015′s summer schedule is looking quite crowded with films like Avengers, Terminator, Mad Max, Jurassic World, Ant Man and Ted 2—just to name a few—all hitting theaters that summer.

The Conjuring’s Annabelle doll getting her very own movie?

Ryan —  November 8, 2013 — 14 Comments

THE CONJURING

Some interesting news is being reported that James Wan’s The Conjuring is getting a spinoff titled Annabell, and it will be about exactly that—the Annabelle doll that had one hell of a terrifying presence in the film. One thing I often hear when fans talk about Wan’s haunter is how damn creepy that doll was. And she’s hardly in the film at all! This tells me that Warner Bros. is really onto something here. According to Schmoes Know, The Conjuring’s Director of Photography John R. Leonetti will take the helm, and sources say the movie will begin filming in Spring of 2014.  Continue Reading…

Blu-ray Review: The Conjuring

Ryan —  October 21, 2013 — 23 Comments

The Conjuring_2

Seeing as how I never got the chance to review James Wan’s The Conjuring when it scared up theaters back in July, I figured a Blu-ray review only made sense. Hitting shelves on October 22nd, acclaimed director James Wan’s The Conjuring follows a pair of paranormal investigators who help a family haunted by a demonic force, only to find themselves trapped in their own horrifying nightmare. The film stars Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as Ed and Lorraine Warren; Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor as Roger and Carolyn Perron. Continue Reading…

Review: Insidious: Chapter 2 takes you deeper into the further

Ryan —  September 14, 2013 — 19 Comments

Insidious

James Wan’s Insidious: Chapter 2 may have been a somewhat forced sequel after the major success of the first film, but Wan does everything in his power to make it one that not only holds up to the original, but takes you deeper into the further in a strange as hell ride. Wan has stated that this will mark his last film in the genre as he moves on to newer and exciting things so it’s no surprise that he really wanted to leave behind a wickedly weird and entertaining flick that is riddled with enough scares to make Insidious: Chapter 2 an absolute blast. The sequel picks up right where the original left off as the haunted Lambert family seeks to uncover the mysterious childhood secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world.

Current owners of The Conjuring house haven’t slept in days

With all of the success and hype surrounding James Wan’s The Conjuring, you knew something like this was going to happen eventually. In a recent article on Woonsocket Call, it has been revealed that the current residents of the Harrisville, R.I. home are being disturbed by fans of the movie who want to take a peak at the house that inspired the film.

“We haven’t slept in days,” Norma Sutcliffe told The Call. “Because we wake up at 2 in the morning there are people with flashlights in our yard. People call on the phone and ask “is this ‘The Conjuring’ house?”  I can imagine that being pretty damn annoying. Obviously there’s really no harm in being curious and wanting to see the house that inspired it all. Hell, I myself went and checked out the Amityville Horror house a few years ago that I admired from a distance. However, it only takes one nut job to turn curiosity into something much worse, which is exactly what the couple are afraid of. Continue Reading…

Insidious Chapter 2 poster will take what you love most

Ryan —  June 12, 2013 — 15 Comments

Here’s a new poster for James Wan’s upcoming Insidious Chapter 2 and it’s actually pretty damn creepy! It’s just a simple shot of a child reaching into the darkness with the tagline, “It will take what you love most”. Between this and The Conjuring, horror fans are really being spoiled this year. Wan has really matured over the years within the horror genre and I for one cannot wait to see how this sequel turns out. If this is in fact his last horror film, I hope he goes out with one hell of a shocker. Continue Reading…

James Wan’s Insidious Chapter 2 gets a bone chilling first trailer

Ryan —  June 5, 2013 — 10 Comments

Horror fans are lucky to be getting not one but two James Wan horror films this year as we’ve got the terrifying true story of The Conjuring as well as the sequel to the haunted house shocker Insidious. Today the first trailer for Insidious Chapter 2 has arrived and it looks like vintage Wan with some truly creepy imagery and a downright chilling score. I liked a lot of what the first film had to offer but it just lost me in the final act, but I’m still really looking forward to seeing what Wan does as he revisits this terrifying world as he calls this one his “last horror film” – at least for a while anyway.
