Horror revamped

Rating: 9/10 (29 July 2016)

"The Conjuring", does everything right the entire film. From classic scares, to impressive acting, there are few flaws throughout. We can agree this movie borrowed some ideas from horror classics like "The Exorcist", "The Amityville Horror", and others, but the way this new film is executed is what makes this film so frightening. We get a taste of all these films, but in correct portions, meaning nothing is overdone. Giving background on these paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren gives the audience some information on what these guys are all about. Unlike most of these "Ghost Hunters" nowadays, the Warrens attempt to find any logical explanation for cases instead of jumping to the conclusion the victims are being terrorized by a paranormal force. The movie is based on the true events of the Perrons in 1970, which makes what was already a creepy movie into a nightmare. Little by little, we uncover the mystery of the Perron house and it's past. The superb acting makes the scares believable and life like, adding another element to the overall scariness of the film. We learn early in the movie the Warrens are experienced investigators, knowing how to handle almost any case and seem to be rattle by nothing. But we see true fear in the eyes of Ed and Lorraine as they uncover a case nothing like they've ever experienced. "The Conjuring" is a unique film on its own, making its presence felt in the horror industry.
