Not the best horror movie in 30 years but it is a push in the right direction

Rating: 7/10 (30 July 2013)

Every time a new horror movie comes out it is either labelled as a) based on a true story or b) the scariest film in thirty years I am sorry but although this is actually somewhat based on a true story it is not the scariest movie in thirty years, that belongs to a different film entirely but it's all a matter of opinion and we are here to talk about the Conjuring. There is no need to talk about the plot because I am sure you have heard/seen it hundreds of times already (especially within the last five years) What the Conjuring does do effectively is spin a fine tale of horror something that most horror movies these days have forgotten to do. The characters that inhabit this god forsaken house are the pillar to what will make the movie work for anyone going to see it, if they fall flat then you will most likely not care.
Most of the scares are things you have seen before but that is to be expected since this movie has been done hundreds of times just under a different coat of paint.
The Conjuring is a step in the right direction for the genre for now and is a better piece than Insidious. James Wan can film anything and make it look beautiful and is able to weave a sense of dread from the moment the movie starts.
Go see it for yourself instead of watching any trailers (really don't watch them they spoiled the movie) its not that scary but it is some good entertainment for a summer horror flick.
