What the votes say

Too close to call: the world picks Saw over The Conjuring by just 54% to 46%. Saw is #329 of the 1,800 movies in the world ranking and The Conjuring #488; among the 7 by James Wan, they are #1 and #2.

The case for each

The Conjuring: Nine years later James Wan went the other way: old-fashioned ghost-story scares instead of gore, in a Rhode Island farmhouse investigated by Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Saw: James Wan's 2004 debut, written with Leigh Whannell: two men wake up chained in a filthy bathroom, pawns in the Jigsaw killer's game. Made for about a million dollars, it started one of horror's longest franchises.
