The last 30 minutes made the film

Rating: 7/10 (29 July 2013)

***MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS***There's no doubt that The Conjuring is a scary film but what happens throughout most of the film isn't anything we haven't seen before. To me it was like Paranormal Activity and Insidious on steroids. Girls getting dragged out of bed (Paranormal Activity) girl getting lifted in the air by her hair (Paranormal Activity 3) but just more amped up. Ghosts walking around and standing in places (Insidious) and some of the music sounded similar to insidious some of the scares instantly reminded me of even more horror films before and even the possessed woman at the end kind of looked like Regan from the exorcist but the conjuring has some scares that are well placed and the suspense is high throughout the film the scares were terrifying in exception to the cheesy Annabelle doll sequence at the beginning of the film. I thought the film had very good acting and was very well paced. the film was very entertaining to watch and will probably have many people looking more into the story of the warrens and the people that they helped. The Conjuring is a scary film that borrows a lot but doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing. I look forward to seeing the next film in the soon to be franchise but I doubt it will top the original but we will see.
