A Masterwork Of Contemporary Horror

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 2016)

Making effective use of its visual & sound design, vintage elements & old-school scares, The Conjuring is one of the best mainstream horror films to come out in recent memory. And its preference for atmospheric chills over mindless gore as well as controlled craftsmanship in almost all aspects certainly gives it an edge over other examples of contemporary horror entries. It's not flawless by any means but it gets the job done far better than its competitors.
