Last August 12, 2013, the movie The Conjuring was already released on all the cinemas here in the Philippines. It is one of the most eagerly anticipated films of the year. According to the newspaper, "The terrifying supernatural horror thriller, from director James Wan, opened to rave reviews from critics, as well as audiences, a fact that was reflected in the film’s A- Cinema Score—an extremely rare mark for the genre. “The Conjuring” had an extraordinary $41.9 million opening weekend at the domestic box office, the largest opening ever for an original horror film."
The Conjuring is a American supernatural horror film directed by James Wan. It is a true story, The Conjuring tells the tale of how world renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called upon to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in a secluded farmhouse. Forced to confront a powerful demonic entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most horrifying case of their lives. The director of The Conjuring was also the one directed the movie Saw and Insidious.
For me, The execution of the film is done very well and the cast is absolutely fantastic to watch. Most of the time you are not shown the entities but the haunting of the Perron family is incredibly creepy to watch and the suspense, just incredible. Its presentation and the great chemistry between cast members are definitely worth your time and money. The Conjuring is a remarkably scary movie, beautifully photographed, thrillingly edited, and filled with memorably real performances. So it could be a better horror movie. But if you will watch it alone especially in the midnight before you go to bed, be sure that you will pray because it's either you will dream it when you are asleep.
The first time I watch this it feels me so scared!! -.- Haha. It sounds like The Conjuring‘s scares are terrifying while they last, but that the fear itself only lasts until the credits roll. You might find yourself trying to hide under your seat as you watch the film, but you probably won’t be inclined to turn on every light in the house when you get home. Ultimately, the sustainability of the scare is only a peripheral aspect of the quality. The consensus between the reviews seems to be that Wan pulls off the frights masterfully, without resorting to camp or cliché, which seems to tally with what the director has done before.
