I guess american horror movies are hit-or-miss with me, didn't find this scary in the slightest bit. Same thing for Insidious. But Insidious was more fun and entertaining, as I recall. Of the more recent american horror movies the only ones I can think of right now that got under my skin are The Ring and The House of the Devil. There are probably more but I can only think of these two. The last 10 minutes of [REC] is still the scariest thing I've ever seen in a horror movie.

What do you expect. I'm the contrarian around here.

I'll admit there were some mildly spooky parts, but none of it gave me a proper chill. Maybe haunted house movies don't do it for me. The cursed video clip in The Ring (remake) is positively scarier and creepier than the whole of The Conjuring.

Evil Dead (2013) is pure thrash - a movie with no sensibilities at all on how to handle characters or horror. I think it's probably the worst movie I've seen this year.

Oh don't get me wrong, I have no problems with James Wan's approach. It is classy. I just don't think the end product managed to scare me. Maybe I'm just a bit different. Most people thought The House of the Devil was boring crap. I thought it was a creepy little throwback flick that made me feel uneasy all over. Now THAT had a terrific mood and atmosphere that crept right under your skin! (Ti West's next movie The Innkeepers was less successful. You could say I had the same reaction to it as The Conjuring)
