A fine horror

Rating: 7/10 (11 August 2013)

A textbook haunting horror movie done fine.
Nothing original about this film at all. You have children, ghostly children, ghostly women, exorcisms with creepy voices, periods of silence and then a loud bang; you know the drill. However, each of these elements were executed pretty well. I'm sure everyone in the cinema expected every part of the scares, but yet they still jumped. Credit to the actors and director.
Overall, a decent horror; but honestly, nothing to go shouting off roof tops about. At the time of me writing this, it is rated at 7.8 , which is too high imo. It should be around the 7.0 mark.
I do have one complaint. The posters, made me believe that this film was based around the haunted doll. In fact, the doll had very little or almost nothing to do with the main plot. I felt a bit cheated on that regards.
Anyways, go watch the Conjuring if you have free time and fancy a horror movie at the moment. If you don't, just re-watch any haunting movie you really enjoyed, and it would probably do the same job.
