Movie Review: The Conjuring (2013)

I had an epiphany today. Pick one of the scariest movies I've ever seen, and review it. Is The Conjuring really that scary? Yes, it is one of the most terrifying movies I have ever seen. So, The Conjuring is a movie about this family who moves into a new house and encounters evil spirits. These aren't just ghosts, they are demons that are rooted in a creepy doll named Annabelle. Hence the name for the spin-off movie. I really liked this movie, the people in the movie actually look like they are having fun. Besides that, it is a REALLY scary flick. There are pop up scares, exorcisms, and a possessed doll. These things come together and it will make an extremely big impression on you. The acting is great, despite the fact that I recognized nobody in the movie. Is there room for improvement? Not really, Conjuring is pretty much just as scary as any movie gets. The other thing that works really well in this movie? The special effects. I'm not going to give anything away, but just don't watch this film before bed, it will scar you....and scare you. Overall, scares and solid performances give The Conjuring a great shoot into a possible new movie franchise. Three Stars.
