The Conjuring Movie Review

I personally was very excited to see this movie because it has been a long time since I can truly say I was scared. The Conjuring was fantastic. Not as gory as I had expected but honestly I was unsure of what to expect. James Wan did a great job. No crazy CGI, good old fashioned spooky suspense. What's even scarier is that this is based on a true story. A few parallels to the Exorcist. There was one shot in particular that looked exactly like the Exorcist except in the Exorcist there was a woman holding a candle or match in the attic and in the Conjuring its the father holding a match in the basement cellar. I'm not sure if you absolutely HAVE to watch this in the theater. It would be much more frightening if you watch it in your home with all the lights out. I would say however, if you are the type that hides in your friend's arm pit... watch this with a friend. This is a good one. I may watch it again without covering my ears (lol). Good job!! On a scale of 1 to 10... 8.5
