another quality horror movie from James Wan

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2014)

Director James Wan has really come into his own with 2013's "The Conjuring." He teams up again with actor Patrick Wilson (they collaborated on 2010's INSIDIOUS), to tell the story of a normal family who moved into a house in 1971, and the spirits that haunt the house and then the family. A slow unraveling of pieces to the story helps keep the audience engaged, as we find out about several historical events which have brought tortured souls back to torment the house's occupants.
I found this movie to be suspenseful and scary, creating empathy for an otherwise normal family who did nothing to deserve the fear that was brought onto them, other than to move into a house whose previous occupants suffered unspeakable crimes decades before. Definitely worth watching.
