Tired of slow burn horror films

Regarding The VVitch, I had real problems with understanding what they were saying. Scenes where they sat and talked ran too long. I feel like 15-20 could have been trimmed off the film and it wouldn't hurt the plot at all. And then there was the supernatural element. There was a lot of back and forth whether there were even any witches at all---obviously there were. Some stuff was also left unexplained. I didn't find the film scary at all. Loud overwhelming music isn't scary. The rest of the "scary parts" didn't really do anything for me, as I couldn't get invested in the movie and the characters.

Idk, I try not to overthink things with movies. I go in with no real expectations and try to enjoy it for what it is. At the end, it comes down to asking myself "did I enjoy this movie?". I did not enjoy it. My companion at the theater was actually upset with me that I took her. And one patron fell asleep halfway through the movie.

I really enjoyed The Conjuring films although I have minor problems with them (I did not like Annabelle). Which is odd considering I don't find James Wan's other films interesting at all. I loathe Insidious and I thought Dead Silence was mediocre at best. I did enjoy the first two Paranormal Activity films, the rest were average to terrible. When I go see horror films I just want to be entertained and engrossed in what's going on. People may disagree but I liked Lights Out and The Boy. Another recent one I was surprised to enjoy was Ouija 2. The first Ouija is one the worst films I ever saw in theaters but the sequel did everything right. I got really sucked in. On Netflix there's a film called We Are Still Here and I enjoyed that one a lot.
