A let down of a movie (minor spoilers)

Rating: 5/10 (31 July 2013)

I went to see The Conjuring today and I was disappointed. Having seen so many horror movies I guess I am jaded. Three-quarters of the film was filled with cheap scares- doors opening and closing, creaking this and that. It resembled a cheap rip-off of The Amityville Horror and The Shining. Only the loudness of these effects made some people jump- and that was just volume. Having said that the only redeeming quality was the last part of the movie- during the possession of the Mother.. Even if these manifestations really occurred at least the writers could have injected some artistic freedom and make it more spooky. If this was based on true accounts, then real horror is pretty boring.
