An outstanding look at the folk horror subgenre. There's lots here I didn't know and it's fun to watch and make a list of all the films you've yet to see, because I can promise you that there will be many you've never even heard of from all sorts of countries. The film is over 3 hours which might make it a bad idea for one seat viewing, but it's just as good if you want to watch it in smaller portions.
As far as early 80's slashers go, My Bloody Valentine is one of the ones that gets the most right. The locations are claustrophobic, the actors/characters feels like real people, and the murder scenes have both suspense and enough gore for the bloodthirsty among us.
The Conjuring is at its best during its more classical haunted house moments where characters walk around in dark places with candles or flashlights as the sound designers take over and let your imagination run wild. The more the ghosts are revealed, the more silly it becomes, but the cast is solid and tries their best to keep the film's head above water.
