The Conjuring is based around two families; The Warrens and The Perrons in 1970. It involves The Perrons moving into their new home and suddenly experiencing paranormal occurrences. The Warrens are paranormal investigators and researchers, who step in and try and help the Warrens out with their case. Without saying too much, there's a racket of "FUCK!" moments for the average movie viewer. But if you're anything like me, and are used to the average spine tingling moments, there were bare few moments I found myself on the edge of my seat.
The twists and turns are generally entertaining. But the acting, this level of acting is not common in such horror films. It was brilliant. Its hard enough to be a respected actor like Ron Livingston play a ghost hunter, who's usually seen as the tough WWII officer in Band of Brothers. Horror movies based around exorcism can be sometimes cringe. When it comes down to it, actors who have to be possessed have it tough. Sometimes it can just result in a splutter of cringes. Ive to hand it to the all actors in The Conjuring, a job well done actors, well done.
This whole "Based on a True Story" can be quite captivating.. Actually reading up on the case online, can be sometimes more chilling then watching the movie,. If you're up to it, I'd recommend reading up one the case before going to see it! It may make the movie more predictable, but having the sense that these events did happen can make it all the more spooky.
Overall, I really did enjoy it. I'd give 8.5/10! The fact Ive now seen it twice, says a whole lot from me.
