This is how you make a movie about the Supernatural

Rating: 9/10 (22 July 2013)

Horror movies are rarely made well these days... let alone this well. James Wan has finally made his true Masterpiece. After making the original "Saw", he ventured off to make a gritty action movie and the underrated "Dead Silence". Then came "Insidious" in 2010. A more suspenseful movie with a better execution. It's like "Saw", "Dead Silence", and "Insidious" were all practice shots for a much bigger and better movie.
"The Conjuring" is supposedly based on true accounts from paranormal investigators "The Warrens". Whether or not anything in this film is true is truly irrelevant to me, because I don't get caught up in the Hollywood gimmick of "Based on a True Story". The movie alone captures real terror all on it's own. From bumps in the night, to horrid faces, creepy dolls (A constant in Wan's films), shadowy figures and straight up exorcisms... This film has it all.
The theater was going nuts throughout the film. This movie, based on language, sexual content and blood and gore could have easily been rated PG-13, but it's rated R, simply because it's that scary.
