The most horrifying film I have ever seen!!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2013)

Most horror films claim to be 'based on real life incidents'. While they rarely live up to the hype around them, THE CONJURING is an exception. The atmosphere build-up begins even before the film does, as a disclaimer is flashed before the opening credits, warning you that you might seek psychological help after watching the movie. The strategy works, as the film can scare the living daylights out of you. While we didn't feel the need to undergo any counselling, unsettling it certainly was. Wan does not succumb to sensationalising the story either. It's the subtle and steady build-up of suspense and psychological tension, coupled with sudden spine- chilling scares and dramatic silences that make you go numb with fear. Note: You may not like the film if you find psychological horror films disturbing.
