What is all the hype about?

Rating: 2/10 (8 January 2014)

I really don't understand what people find so wonderful about this movie. The first hour is just boring buildup. Then, the climax is a woman screaming for almost ten minutes straight. There are a few parts that have the potential to be scary. These fall flat, though, because they are drawn out and try to hard to frighten the viewer. This film was neither scary nor interesting, with the only unsettling part of it being the creepy doll. I miss the days when horror movies were actually scary and didn't involve the predictable paranormal activity or exorcisms. It's getting old, and The Conjuring is no different. This movie is too much like all of the other demonic movies nowadays. It doesn't find way to stand out amongst others in the genre.
