The Conjuring Review

Rating: 9/10 (7 September 2016)

The Conjuring(2013) Starring:Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga, Ron Livingston, and LILI Taylor Written By:Chad Hayes & Carey W. Hayes Directed By:James Wan Unlike most people I have never seen a good modern paranormal/demon horror film. I've seen paranormal activity's one and two and I hated them. But last year there was this trailer about a horror film called the conjuring and every one was excited and everyone saw it but me. What caught my attention is when everyone said it was one of the best horror films ever. The other little piece of goodness was the possessed creepy doll and considering I'm a fan of creepy dolls I had to see it. The film is based on true events of two ghost hunters Ed and Lorraine Warren who help a family that is being haunted and one family member possessed by an evil entity that will latch to whoever is living on their land. I don't know how much of the story is true but I do know for a fact that I was expecting to be really scared but instead I was frightened, creep-ed out of my mind, the fact that unlike other demon,paranormal, exorcism movies this one was based on a true story which I believe helped the film, don't you sometimes hear things at night. James Wan is one of my favorite directors especially when it comes to the horror genre, he made one of my all time favorite horror movies that scared me as a boy that I still watch to this day the very first Final Destination from 2000. Which was a very creepy dark horror film about paranormal deaths conflicted by the grim reaper because someone had a vision and didn't die and they would be picked off one by one. Wan also produced a lot of the X- Files episodes and he's really good at building tension and suspense. The only problem I do have with this movie and I'm pretty sure you will too is that it's poorly paced in the beginning of the picture. But once more stuff starts to happen in the house and the family meets the Warrens it starts booming and it stays booming. You'll be on the edge the rest of the movie. The movie has really good performances especially from Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga they were the best thing about this film. YOu could tell that they gave their all into these two characters. LILI Taylor is also amazing as the distressed mother who is experiencing all of this strange stuff going on around her and her family. The Conjuring is one of the best paranormal/Demon/Horror movie I have ever seen so far. The performances are top notch, the movie is very creepy and frighting and James Wan got some rally nice shots with his camera work but it is poorly paced in the beginning so I'm going to give The Conjuring a four and a half out of five.
