very nice

Rating: 8/10 (14 October 2016)

This is certainly one of the better horror movies of recent years. High production value, good acting and a classic story that still does not feel stale.
Most of the suspense is very low key - with a few stereotypical jump scares every now and then. It could have done without most of those scares as the non jump scares are nice enough on their own.
Of course the entire plot of the movie is kind of ridiculous. The entire house is so dark and kind of gritty that one has to wonder what the family did when they moved in. (usually i would expect a new house owner to cleanly paint the walls and install sufficient light... also to study the blueprints of the house so not to run into unexpected HUGE cellars or hidden compartments behind wardrobes.
However - what i do like about the Conjuring movies is that the people talk to each other and do not fall for the most prominent horror movie cliché ... that is miscommunication.
Also on a personal level - i love this 60s/70s look ... at least i think its that time era. It fits nicely - without all the technical gadjets. At least there is an excuse for blurred video and non HD pictures.
In short - i really liked it...
