If you want to really get the chills, Conjuring 2 is your best bet. This sequel is probably one of the scariest horror movie yet! In 1977, paranormal investigators Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren come out of a self-imposed sabbatical to travel to Enfield, a borough in north London. There, they meet Peggy Hodgson, an overwhelmed single mother of four who tells the couple that something evil is in her home. Ed and Lorraine believe her story when the youngest daughter starts to show signs of demonic possession. As the Warrens try to help the besieged girl, they become the next targets of the malicious spirit.
Five friends travel to a cabin in the woods, where they unknowingly release flesh-possessing demons. 85 minutes of toe curling horror, the movie is directed by Sam Raimi and stars Bruce Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Richard DeManincor and Betsy Baker.
This movie has become a classic in the horror genre and has managed to score 94% on Rotten Tomatoes too. Several people are hunted by a cruel serial killer who kills his victims in their dreams.
