DISCLAIMER: This review may be missing information because I watched half the film through my fingers.
I only have one word to describe ‘The Conjuring’: DAMN.
It is being dubbed as the scariest big studio film to be released in several years and rightfully so.
‘The Conjuring’ is a throwback to the 70’s possession films like ‘The Amityville Horror’ but a strong big budget response to the “Paranormal Activity’ craze.
The film shows no mercy on its audiences. It relies on its extremely talented cast and creepy atmosphere, rather than cheap “Gotcha’s!”, to horrify audiences. It is packed with enough disturbing demonic possessions and spine chilling suspense that will certainly have you calling the Vatican the next day for a spiritual cleansing.
If you plan on trying to sleep after watching ‘The Conjuring’, be sure to have holy water, a cross and a bible on your night stand because this movie will haunt even the biggest horror fans for weeks.
