Genuinely scary film unlike the competition...

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2013)

I have to admit that the selling point of 'The Conjuring' to me is the fact that it's based on a true story and I think that's what makes the story so disturbing and chilling for the audience.
Unlike films such as 'Paranormal Activity' or 'Insidious' this is not just simply meant to frighten you but to actually make you think about how there are evil spirits out there among us and that stories like this, many of which we probably will never know about, do exist.
The acting was superb and not over done by any means. It's not a fast paced thriller and it's more deliberate pace is the stuff stories are made of in place of a cheap thrill.
There are many pretenders to this genre of film. 'The Conjuring' is most certainly an original and a must-see.
