Amityexorgeist

Rating: 2/10 (18 August 2013)

Add one part amityville horror (any version or sequel will do) blend in the exorcist, this can be substituted with any exorcism related movies that have been released, add a dash of poltergeist and a very ample helping of lame crap and you have amityexorgeist....or as its also known the conjuring. I went in to this movie as a horror movie lover...umm I mean a good horror movie lover...knowing very little about it. I have heard that it is supposed to be very scary and with filmmakers who have worked with great films such as saw and insidious I had somewhat high hopes for a good creepy thriller. Boy I was disappointed. I will give credit to the scenery which helped the spooky atmosphere however it just wasn't much. There seemed to be a loooooooooot of blah blah blah between the characters to the point I was nodding off. When I see a scary movie I like for it to be scary and this just wasn't. It had a few moments to make you jump, or at least that was the intention. The fact is its a story that has been told and retold and revisited in sequels and remade so it just gets worn out. My main frustration is that I paid theater tickets to see something barely worth my time watching for free on Netflix. I will say this movie would be ideal for kids who want to see a scary movie with their parents or perhaps a horror fan who has a heart condition and can only handle mild scares. But if you want a real creepy freaky scary horror movie this will probably disappoint. And I do not base that on the lack of blood gore sex alcohol drugs and profanity, in fact I do applaud a movie that can still put out a good story without having to succumb to those often senseless tactics. Though if you want to see any of the aforementioned then once again skip this one. Twice I left the movie for a cigarette in hopes that when I returned something intriguing would be taking place on screen which is something I've never done.
