Be prepared for your popcorn to drop

Rating: 7/10 (1 September 2013)

"The Conjuring" is horror well made that earns it's R-rating solely based on terror without any sex, gore or cuss words. It's a welcome change from the overused and hence clichéd "found footage" genre. Set in 1971, paranormal researchers Ed and Lorraine Warren are approached by a mother whose family is being tormented by a demonic presence in their new home. It doesn't take long for the Warren's to get sucked right in the sinister situation. Unlike most horror flicks these days where the evil spirit crawls across the walls and ceiling wearing white, "The Conjuring" does not show much and builds on the greatest fear on mankind - fear of what they can't see. The acting, screenplay, sound and set design is very fitting too. My advice? Be prepared for your popcorn to drop if you go in with one.
