The Conjuring : Typical horror fare that scares you nevertheless!



It's a a must watch flick for every horror genre lovers.Go get scared out of your wits while passing through the 3 demonic stages of infestation, oppression and possession!

After a long time, a horror film that meticulously succeeded at the box office grossing over $220,166,000 worldwide (as of Aug 25,2013) and still going strong!
The film works majorly because it doesn't stick to the conventional mumbo jumbo scheme or hi tech gizmos. Also, instead of some sad looking priest, kooks or weirdos,we get two dedicated professionals,Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga (superb act!) whose expertise in the paranormal make them popular speakers on the local college circuit, conductors of paranormal seminars/conferences and subjects of occasional newspaper articles. They also make haunted-house calls and keep a relic room of “possessed” objects they’ve removed from malevolent situations. A very well crafted (with good performances) haunted house thriller where the long eerie tracking shots,the dramatic silences,behind the door spookiness, creaking of the doors, the hide-and-clap sequences and the sudden scares are really impressive, though similar on the lines of The Amityville horror and The exorcist, it charms and shocks you nevertheless!
