The Conjuring






I'm a big horror movies fan and the conjuring was one hell of a scary ride.Director james wan is the most talented directors now when it comes to scary movies.His last venture was also a scary ride [insidious]. I would say that this is his best work till date after insidious and SAW 1.

The movie is set in 1970's,the costumes and surroundings were apt for the mood.A decent creepy doll will always scare you,this movie is also revolve around a doll.The things that scare you in this movie are the subtle things and the ghosts are not revealed long enough to become not scary anymore and scenes where you think something is going to pop up nothing happens.

The story is same old,but the making is such,you wouldn't notice anything when you are in it. BGM was apt for the mood,mostly silent,which scares you the most !. Editing was top notch,which is the most important factor in a good scary movie. As i mentioned earlier, story is old fashioned and screenplay is a bit above par level. Direction is the one thing that stands out in the movie. James wan deserves full credit for the movie success.

Perfomance wise,i thought joey king as christine was the standout in the movie.
Vera farmiga was also very good,especially thorough climax sequences.

All others did their parts very well. No one was boring or annoying. 

The one thing good about this movie is that it does not get disgusting at any point. Can watch it with family,not with kids though [lol].without having to show sex, gore, nudity,and say the F-word too much the movie scares you well.Yes, it is rated 'R' but can be viewed anytime !! 

Go watch it with a decent headphone/earphone/headset. Will scare you for certain.

Definitely worth checking it out.


8/10
