For the most part, they're usually not particularly entertaining or scary. I think Insidious, The Ring, and Drag Me to Hell were good because they had the right directors attached, and the stories for each of them were interesting. Other PG-13 horror films like The Grudge, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, One Missed Call, and The Possession were horrible.
Also, The Conjuring is proof that a movie doesn't need to have gore, sex or profanity to be rated R.
