Pretty good, not the best though.

Rating: 8/10 (30 August 2013)

The Conjuring starts off as a usual horror film, embracing some age old horror film. But getting in to the scarier bits, it separates itself from your usual horror films. Overall, not to spoil the film, The Conjuring is a witty horror film, delivering some great scary moments through out. Although The Conjuring is a enjoyable film, it relies on old horror movie film ideas, particularly at the start of the film. I mean, how many times has this idea of moving in to a haunted house been done? The characters are not strong enough as well, quite unrealistic. I mean, some of the most screwed up things happen and the family are terrified, but the next day, they act completely oblivious to the previous night's horror. The film does contain very good jump scares though. Especially towards the end of the film, when the family are in the basement, before they perform the exorcism. The plot was slightly predictable to say the least. Overall, a solid film.
