Over-hyped, too slow paced and not that scary as the critics said it would be.

Rating: 4/10 (24 July 2013)

* A LIL BIT OF SPOILER, JUST A LIL BIT*
Saw The Conjuring last night. I have high expectations going to theater because of the high praise it receives and because of what most of the critics are claiming it to be as one of the scariest movie in a recent year and after watching the movie, I felt like it's a bit over-hyped.
I didn't jumped once and after watching the movie, I can't keep myself from comparing this movie to what I experience in "Insidious", James Wan's best horror movie IMO. Insidious totally scared the hell out of me. The jump scares on The Conjuring is so predictable that you already know someones coming out to scare you, an example is the ghost that jump at the top of the Closet and goes on top of the girl. It's not like insidious where the ghost were unpredictable and you don't know when and where they will pop up. I also found The Conjuring too slow paced, I felt like the first half is they are trying to build up the tension but loses steam after. I also didn't like that they add some hidden laughs, I don't really want to spoil anything, but in some parts, most of the people in the theater are laughing and it kinda detracts the tension and the fact that it's supposed to be a horror movie not some kind of Horror-Comedy like the horrendous "Cabin in The Woods" movie. The performance of Wilson and Farmiga is good IMO, though I think Wilson did a better job in Insidious.
Overall I'll give this movie 4/10 for the effort of the actors/actresses. I want this movie to be good but unfortunately, It doesn't scare the heck out me like the critics said it would be.
