I loved conjuring but absolutely hated the sequel for the very reason although it did give me a scare in cinema thanks to loud speakers but hated it after a second watch.

Well, there are some good horror movies though in BW. Phobia and B13.

It's true BW doesn't take horror as a genre seriously at all.

I did like Bhoot, Darna Mana Hai and Ek thi Dayan (except the stupid climax) though.

Also, Dushman scared the shit out of me when I watched it for the first time. Don't think I watched the whole film till much later. I was very young but still. Then, movies like Phobia, Kaun etc are also good.

I thought star Kids with no great talent was horror enough.

They still get big budget movies. 😕

Personally, I really liked the first installment of Darna mana hai then Kaun, Vastu Shastra and Bhoot.

Honestly, Hollywood mvies aren't that scary either. conjuring 2 was such a joke. Their movies have more hype than they actually deliver. I find Korean movies much scarier.

Some hw horror films are not even scary either. Just cheap jump scares and illogical plots. Bollywood does have a few good ones. But hey, other countries have better films than Hollywood. Japanese horror is good but weird.

Recently I saw the hw film vvitch and it was sooo creepy. haven't felt scared in a while until I watched that.
