Garbage!!

Rating: 1/10 (5 August 2013)

I was really looking forward to this. Wan's last movie, Insidious, while not perfect and frankly unintentionally hilarious at times, it was in my opinion a step in the right direction for this sub genre of Horror. When Sinister came out i thought OK now we're getting somewhere. OK, Sinister is flawed in places but my favourite part of this movie was the unnerving soundtrack. Throw in some cheap frights and it was easily the best horror/thriller of 2012. The Conjuring has none of these aspects. What it does have is unlikeable, clichéd characters, clichéd script and some really bad acting by everyone involved and not to mention an uninspired score and crappy dialogue.Throw all that in and you have one of the worst movies of the year. Looking at other reviews, i say don't believe the hype. If you never see this movie you will not have missed out on anything. In fact do yourself a favour and look into Foreign horror movies, there are some gems out there. South Korea and France are a good place to start
