better and more frightening then the Insidous saga

Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2014)

James Wan, who had a break through with Saw (2004) was the kind of director I wanted to follow. Have seen Insidious (2010) his effort into the possession genre I had some mixed emotions. I didn't found it scary. The follow-up, Insidious 2 (2013) had the same problems as part 1, it wasn't really scary. But in between those two flick Wan decided to make a real scary possession flick like we used to see in the eighties. And let this be this one here, The Conjuring.
Again, it's beautifully filmed and it surely had the feeling like those old school horrors. It takes a while before things go wrong but it just doesn't matter because I was sitting on the edge of my seat to know how this would end. What failed in Insidious, the way the ghost appear, did work out fine here. Even as they also walk around somehow it's more frightening than Insidious.
One of the better flicks about possession in years, a must see if you want a throw back to the old school horrors.
