But the final 30 minutes is about as thrilling of a finale in a horror film than I can remember. There isn't a ton of scares early on, and the stuff in camera does a lot to set the mood. Part of the creepiness to this film comes from what you don't see. Wan and his writers, Chad and Carey Hayes, deserve a ton of credit for that. This wasn't a horror film built around scares and gore, it was built around characters.
And even to a certain extent, a love story between Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Wan does a nice job of building the characters out in full before we get overwhelmed with thrills in the second half. I'm sure there were plenty of liberties taken, but The Conjuring is a far more grounded horror film than I expected. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga play Ed and Lorraine Warren, two paranormal investigators who take on the case after the events escalate. It wasn't even so much the demon itself or the endless number of terrifying jumps, but the fact that this was based on a true story. James Wan brilliantly directs this supernatural flick about a family of 7 dealing with a relentless dark presence in their newly purchased home. I was not disappointed.Ī horror film in the theaters is definitely different than viewing it in the comfort of your own home in the middle of the day, but The Conjuring still had a significant impact on me. I'm not fond of horror films in general, and I wasn't particularly interested in a horror film that was dubbed "the scariest movie of the last decade." But as an avid film fan, I owed it to myself to give it a shot. I've been pretty weary of watching The Conjuring for a few years now. On a Scale of 1 to 10, I'd give The Conjuring a 8.0 Too add I think it's an greater advantage and enjoyable thrill to see this at the movie theaters with the much greater sights and surrounding sounds vs at home on DVD or streaming. This should easily be one of the scariest movies of the year. Overall I thought this film was a solid film that gives some spooky chills and thrills in periods of the movie, and although I was initially concerned that this would be one of those films where the trailer itself ends up being much better, exciting that the actual movie itself- I can say that's not the case here, and I was very much put at ease on that note after I finished watching the film. While the credits rolled at the end, you get to see the pictures of the real couple who the film was based that actually investigates Occult like haunting back In the 60's and 70's. I didn't really get into the " Annabelle " doll, which was supposed to be one of the " gateway" tools to which demon spirits emerged into the lives of the living humans, I thought that the ending which one gets possessed to murder,- could have been a lot more intense and dramatic. Particularly Lily Taylor and Vera Farmiga. The creepy sounding and wide screen camera angles were terrific and the cast and characters were well scripted and portrayed admirably. I also liked that it had a very brief documentary-like atmosphere where you felt part of the investigating ghost-crew with the rolling camera. There was only a couple of instants where director James Wan let that slip, primarily at the end. I liked that the Conjuring more centered on atmosphere than with a lot of excess blood and gore and superficial CGI effects. The way the film started out did remind me very much of the Amityville Horror, but unlike that film and it's ghostly encounters, it was well explained in this film why the terrified family group could not just pack up and leave.
And I thought the whole haunting demonic origin was well told. unexplained physical yanking and bruises. Speaking of which, in terms of it being a demon-possession flick, it ( nor any other "entity" movie will ever be in that class) Slowly creaking opening doors. Much like the room the possessed girl Regan was tied up in the Exorcist.
With the Conjuring - which I tip my hat to the director James Wan and writers - because not only did I think this film had some creepy and jittery "jump-scare" moments in the film, but I also liked the way the dark areas of the house, the rooms, the corners, basement, stairs dark areas were displayed, they made it look eerie and macabre ( that's been an missing element in horror films for decades, IMO) But I have to at least say that I found the Conjuring definitely to be " creepy" enough to enjoy. Everyone may have their own view as to what is considered really " scary" to themselves. And I had to admit that I enjoyed myself and thought it was well worth seeing. I had heard so much about based on true story film, " the Conjuring " from word of mouth that I finally decided to check it out.
