CLAP! CLAP! Here's a Good Horror Movie! ðŸŽ¥

Rating: 8/10 (14 November 2019)

I'll give credit where credit is due. "The Conjuring" surprised me with how well the storyline was done and the characters were developed, especially Ed Warren (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga). Lili Taylor "Carolyn" did an exceptionally good job as struggling mother of five hyper daughters who had just moved into a VERY extraordinary house (haunted that is). And Ron Livingston, as the dad "Roger Perron", filled his role adequately. There was definitely a 70's atmosphere with the music played, hairstyles, automobiles and slang spoken. All of which set a background for the terror to slowly unfold for the family as they tried to adjust to their new home. From things grabbing little girls under the bed, ghosts in the basement, to a grotesque witch attacking a child from atop wardrobe furniture, to the demonic possession of their mother, a lot HELL happens to the Perron family. The evil house even takes out their poor family dog! For a movie that has very little cursing, no nudity and not at ton of gore it sure does deliver intense horror. I'm pretty sure I'd never want to be in a dark house alone and hear someone or something "clap" twice after viewing this.
