Worth its rating

Rating: 8/10 (27 August 2013)

I went to a surprise screening and was very happy to see that the movie was The Conjuring. I saw the trailer the other day and was pretty impressed, so I was keen to see the movie. However in the end I feel The Conjuring lacked something. There weren't many scary scenes, even though they were sophisticated. Still, you'll be able to find some scenes when you think "Really???". I liked the actors, especially Patrick Wilson's character who looked very reassuring throughout the movie and actually put some confidence in scary scenes. There are some jokes, some "cool" scenes, i.e. when they are installing gadgets in the house and some our generation energetic electronic plays in the background. I think they should have concentrated a bit more on a horror part, because especially in the second part of the movie it becomes more like an action/adventure. Overall - a very decent movie that still could have been a bit better. 8/10.
