James Wan should have directed this!


With James as director, and Leigh Whannell fixing the broken screenplay, this movie would have been much better.

You're probably right. Surely he could've done with this, what he did with Insidious and The Conjuring.

Right, and those were great movies.

I don't really get why this is considered so much worse than those. It's a remake so the plot itself is a little 70's goofy but other than that I find it equally as good. It's a creature movie whereas those are supernatural. It can't really have the same feel.

CiCi: Oh, my bad. I thought you were someone else.

I probably wouldn't have liked the movie as much if they'd been involved. I loved this one start to finish even though the ending upset me. Insidious was good at first then went to hell. Conjuring was boring and didn't do anything for me at all.
