The Conjuring or The Babadook
Would like to hear the opinions here also, because at The Babadook board, it's a clear Babadook win, lol.
shareboth relies on tension and real horror instead of cheap jump scares, well there is a scene in the babadook where it reminds me about the conjuring where the mother vomit when she was released from the babadook, both are smart movies with a very strong script and likable characters, while the conjuring is a real horror film, the babadook took the road of a psychological study to a mother who can't love her child and her husband death where the demon is a kind of inner,it was something really smart and unique but for me the conjuring is way better and more effective(i've gave the conjuring a 10 and the babadook an 8)
shareWhat are you talking about? The Conjuring was littered with cheap jump scares.
shareThe Conjuring is full of jump scares, ghosts, exorcisms, demons etc etc.
The Babadook has zero jump scares and if you get the movie you'll understand that it has nothing paranormal.
The Babadook IMO is much better.
if you get the movie you'll understand that it has nothing paranormal.
Only one way of looking at it. The director intended it to work both ways so it can be seen either way, it doesn't add to or weaken the movie either way. share
I watched it for the first time a couple days ago and I honestly can't recall a single jump scare.
shareHow about the clapping hands behind the Mom when she's in the basement?
Really, there were many jump scares in this movie.
I assumed jump scares had to be remotely scary/have even a slight amount of potential to make someone jump. I jump at tons of stuff from basically any genre of movie (i.e. the Chicken in The Good Dinosaur) and nothing was even close to doing that in the Conjuring.
