10 Horror Movies You Won't Be Able To Sleep After Watching

10. The Conjuring

Even after over seven years of sequels and spin-offs, the first The Conjuring movie still stands as the scariest of the bunch.

In The Conjuring, a family moves into a new house in the middle of nowhere. Almost immediately they come to find that they may not be the only ones living there, and must call upon the Warrens, a married pair of ghost hunters, for help.

Working as a throwback to old school haunting movies while at the same time putting a modern spin on them, James Wan's film is one of those rare movies that exceeds its hype. The way he methodically uses the camera and subverts the typical way jump scares are done is not only genius, but downright diabolical. Take the bedroom scene for instance, when the daughters suspect that something is in the room with them. It's paced in a way where you never know when sh*t is going to hit the fan, forcing you to hold your breath until the very last second.

The Conjuring feels mean, as if its only purpose for existing is to make you regret that it does.
