Really well-done and eerie

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 2013)

I don't get scared often, or even really jump at most jump moments in most horror films, but The Conjuring delivers on its premise. It's not terribly original, but its scares don't hit you over the head and don't feel dumbed down. They're well-done, and the characters are well-written and so it brings in that extra dynamic to the table. The acting is also pretty great from all involved, Vera Farmiga being the stand out especially and unsurprisingly. Every time I see her I expect greatness and I get it, and I haven't even seen much from her. She's pretty fantastic and she gets some meaty material to work with and delivers the goods.
