Disagree.

You're comparing apples and oranges. They're two different kinds of movies completely.

As far as exorcism or haunting movies go, The Conjuring was really well done. Good acting, good character development, good plot, good pacing. It's a good movie. Perhaps you don't like it because it's intentionally shot as a period film and a throwback to early exorcism and haunting flicks?

I hated Insidious. So, let me get that out before I talk about Insidious 2. The first installation was great, for the first half of the film. It set itself up for impossible standards, then all the sudden they throw fucking astral projection and demons and stupid jingles into the mix. It was a train wreck.

That being said, I had reservations when I went to see Insidious 2. Severe reservations. I was expecting to hate it. I didn't, in fact I loved it so much I downloaded it to watch it again. They really upped the creepy factor. They removed the dumb demonic presence thing. The prospect of the old woman/serial murderer inhabiting his body was fantastic, plus a nice dose of body horror. His body starts falling apart AND HE CANT STOP IT. Every aspect I hated in the first movie was expanded upon and fixed and made wonderful by the second installation.

With all that in mind, making a third movie would absolutely kill the franchise. The sage involving the family is done with, they've established that. If anything, a third would be an unsuccessful direct-to-DVD.

And as far as new horror goes, I was very impressed with Sinister.
