I remember it coming out when I was in high school. My friends and I couldn't find tickets because theaters were sold out. It was a big deal. By today's standards, it's a generic haunted house movie, but when it came out, this felt fresh. The story is scary, especially being based on true events. The pacing is great and never drags. It borrows from The Exorcist but gives it a modern style. The production, props, and sets are exceptional. It feels like we're in the 70s. The atmosphere makes everything gritty and lived in. The darkness, practical effects, ghost attacks, and great tension make this terrifying. You feel the dread with the family as events unfold. James Wan's direction is exceptional. The music is effective. The clap game gave me nightmares for weeks. The performances are incredible, especially the Warrens and Lily Taylor. Her basement scene is nightmare fuel. This is perfect and one I will always come back to. See more Matthew D @OceanSage 4 days ago A contemporary take on exorcism with thrilling results. James Wan brings possession to life utilizing every horror trope imaginable to great effect. While it is not the most original movie ever, The Conjuring (2013) is a very fun and often scary horror movie. I think it works on adults and teenagers alike, while being too fearsome for most kids. Wan has a great eye for neat shots, jump inducing cuts, and eerie lighting. The creepy story and location is just a bonus. I think The Conjuring works so well because it addresses the skeptics. Wan takes into account all audiences that might view The Conjuring, so that anyone can enjoy it if not be terrified. The narrative is grounded by the loving relationship of Ed and Lorraine Warren. The haunting atmosphere is layered alongside a sense of realism when depicting nightmares and ghosts. In all, The Conjuring may not scare you to the point of fainting or screaming, but you will jump and be surprised by many of the frights.
