Great First Half

Rating: 5/10 (9 December 2014)

I sat down and watched the Conjuring not expecting a lot and then after an hour was pleasantly surprised. It was scary, well crafted, acted well, good rhythm, unobtrusive soundtrack. BUT all is well that ends well. Err no. What happened in the second half. It was hurried, unrealistic and completely out of character for Carolyn Perron up to that point and became simply preposterous. Why do Hollywood do this. Take a good story and chuck in some spectacular (not) exorcism type set-pieces. It has nothing to do with the Devil at all so why change a perfectly good story and sensationalise it. Very very disappointed after an amazing first hour.
