The first reviews are popping up, and it seems like this will be an instant classic. Director James Wan really impressed me with "Insidious" and supposedly he knocks this one out of the park.

The film is rated R not because of violence or language, but because it's too damn intense and scary.

Justin Chang – Variety:

“It takes almost no time for “The Conjuring” to immerse the viewer in its spell, as it teases seemingly minor jolts into frissons of terror, and turns a simple game of hide-and-seek into a tour de force of sustained excitement… The film achieves its most startling effects through motion, not stasis. Wan’s command of horror technique isn’t just virtuosic; it’s borderline rhapsodic, playing the audience like Hitchcock’s proverbial piano.”

I'm not going to read anymore about the film so I'm as green as possible when I see it. This film gets my "CAN'T WAIT" stamp. Comes out July 19th.

James Wan didn't do Sinster, I think you mean Insidious.

 

This does look good though.

 

 

That's right, for some reason I keep wanting to think he did Sinister.  Well obviously I thought Sinister was done well, and it gave me the same creepy feeling as the first half of Insidious.

 

To me the first half of Insidious was terrifying, but it came off the rails in the second half with all the other dimension stuff.

I liked both personally. Insidious 2 comes out on September 13 btw.

Yeah I definitely need to go back and rewatch Insidious.  I saw it in theaters without knowing what to expect and was thrown for a loop when it went from "haunted house" to "alternate dimension twilight zone". 

 

Wan has a very unique talent for crafting suspense on-screen.  He really is virtuosic in that way.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
