Good Movie But....

Rating: 7/10 (30 July 2013)

When I first heard The Conjuring announced, I wasn't that excited. The plot wasn't something new, and I just was not that excited. James Wan, a good director with movies like "Saw" and "Insidious", kind of brought my attention to this movie. However, when "The Conjuring" came out, it got very good reviews with critics and even better ones from fans. I then got exceptionally more excited for the movie and planned to see it in theaters. I came in waiting for a movie to scare me out of my seats but what disappointed me the most was....the scares themselves. I had watched a couple of trailers for the movie before going to the theaters and the trailers revealed more than half of the scares! It got so bad that I was even calling out the scares before they even came out. It really ruined the movie for me but I didn't let that influence my review. "The Conjuring" is a good horror movie don't get me wrong, but its not anything new. Sure it's better than most horror movies coming out now, but it is not as terrifying as most people say it is. My recommendation, watch it, but DO NOT watch any trailers for it. If you did, you're going to be a little disappointed with how much the trailers show.
