OH THE HORROR

Horror movies. Recently we've been watching a few horror movies, supposedly scary... or nah. I'll do you and favor and:
What NOT to watch or even think about watching in the nearest future.

Jessabelle
Maincharacter  - in wheelchair -> moves home to her father she hasn't met in a long while - he's a hillbilly, alcoholic, sad person. The room where her mother (deceased) was staying is now hers. Maybe two scenes in Jessabelle finds some tapes under her bed and lo and behold the tapes are cursed. Then there were so many weird unimaginable things happening in a row but Jessabelle is more or less cursed and blablabla now it's raining and blablabla hoodoo sequences and switching bodies and now we're done. Really soppy end-line.

Annabelle
One might think this would be of quality, maybe have some standards as it's the "prologue" of The Conjuring and it is freaky at some point. A devil living through a porcelain doll, a scarred (and very naive) priest and a very long corridor. But please explain to me why the black woman all of a sudden just jumps out the window without a good reason, sacrificing herself instead of the white couple's child. Evidently the woman is in grief because of her deceased daughter but she's not that convincing, instead she seems more at peace with the concern.
I'm wishing for more credibility. Anyhow, the black woman dies and the white couple lives on and so does the doll. Funny fact - the real doll is not a porcelain doll but a raggy plush doll.
Note that I didn't like The Conjuring either.

I've chosen to write a play myself.
To be continued...
