3. The Conjuring
Available on: Tubi
Easily one of the best Hollywood supernatural horror movies of the last decade, The Conjuring is an absolute must see movie for any horror fan. Spawning a mass amount of sequels and spin-offs, this film sparked new life into the mainstream horror game.
The film follows paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, as they are called to a house in Rhode Island. Loosely based off stories the real life Warrens have told, The Conjuring ups the scares by being connected to reality. Whether you believe the tales or not, it adds to sheer horror the film brings forth.
Director James Wan does some of his best work with this film, slowly building the scares and getting you when you least expect it. Wan has a skill when it comes to using jump scares, as they don't feel as tacked on a cheaply used as in most horror movies. He's been able to produce some of the most iconic scares in horror cinema, the red demon face scare in Insidious as well as the "clapping game" in The Conjuring.
This is a film that's shaped how Hollywood has approached the horror genre, and that's simply because it was well done and scared the hell out of viewers.
