Great Production

Rating: 7/10 (2 March 2017)

There's something about those one word scary movies--whether they start with "The" or not: Halloween, Alien, Poltergeist, Omen and The Exorcist, The Ring, The Grudge, and now The Conjuring. Those are some scary productions.
The Conjuring is supposedly based upon a true story about a couple that are a demonologist and a clairvoyant who attempt to help a large family in rural Rhode Island rid themselves of an evil entity.
I don't know if it was the innocence of the family or the wickedness of the apparitions but this movie gave me the chills. The family was a blue collar family that found a deal on a home. They comprised two parents and five lovely young daughters. Involving children in possessions and hauntings is nothing new, it always ups the creep factor. The Conjuring involved five kids and a mother and father thereby having wealth of hosts.
The Conjuring wasn't all that unique but it was done really well. They had jump scares and escalating paranormal activity like every other scary movie but they made a better production of it.
