One of the better horror movies... creepy and tense...

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2014)

I saw this movie. I thought at times about turning a light on because it was persistently creepy. The movie seems original and when you predict something will happen, it doesn't. Much of the movie is creepy and tense.
There is one scene I do not think I will ever forget... and that is when a closet door opens near a blindfolded woman and then something else happened after that and I will not spoil it. That scene was weird and disturbing.
The ghost scenes are genuinely creepy. Few scenes or situations seemed borrowed from other movies. For the most part, this movie seemed original and it's better than most horror movies.
I give The Conjuring a honest 8 out of 10. A 8 out of 10 is the majority vote for The Conjuring on IMDb right now too and I agree with it. The Conjuring is not perfect, certain scenes could've been done in a better way certainly or excluded, but its a lot better than most horror movies.
