"Mommy, can I sleep with you tonight?"

Rating: 9/10 (4 August 2013)

Going to the movies should be entertaining; it can be scary or funny, and every once in a while a tear- jerker gets thrown in there. This is how we 'genre-nize' movies so in the future we may easily choose similar titles to itself. The Conjuring cannot be genre-nized so easily. The trailer allows you to think it as a supernatural horror without the cheap, slasher thrills; a film equal to The Ring or A Haunting in Connecticut, which couldn't be further from the truth. The Conjuring somehow combines every fear imaginable without becoming cliché. It won me over by evoking primal senses that rarely get experienced in my day to day. The Conjuring is feral, to say the least...it plays with your mind in order to elicit a visceral, heart-pounding affect. I will never be the same knowing what my eyes and ears witnessed at this horror's opening night. I conjured up a bad case of insomnia for weeks to follow.
