If you loved The Conjuring, try Saw
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Saw has roughly 18.9× fewer votes than The Conjuring — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by James Wan, and they both carry the dread mood tag, and they sit in Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Conjuring, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Saw is
The fluorescent lamps flicker. A tape recorder clicks on. David wakes gagged, wrists zip-tied to a chair. A masked figure offers him a hacksaw and a simple choice. A back-alley *Saw* clone hunts amateurs in bare concrete chambers.
