The Conjuring Review
Here
comes a horror movie that everyone is talking about—The Conjuring. This movie
has been popular over the internet for the past few weeks. People from
different social sites like facebook, twitter, tumblr and even on youtube are
talking like crazy about this movie.
The
Conjuring is a rated R film directed by James Wan who is popular in directing
other horror movies such as Insidious, Saw and etc. Unlike Insidious and Saw
who had many sequels, James Wan finally jumped into another type of horror film
that is based on real life events. The
movie is established on a real life exploits of Ed and Lorraine Warren, a
married couple that investigates paranormal events. The film is focused on the
Warren’s famous case where they investigated a witch’s curse on a family who
lives in what seems to be a serene farm. The movie started off by introducing a
possessed doll named Annabelle who torments the life of two young nurses. At
first, I thought the movie is all about Annabelle scaring the souls out of
people because Annabelle’s creepy face is shown all over the movie’s posters
and trailers. But then, the freaky doll was only given a small part in the
movie which is kind of a bummer. They then introduced the real center of the
story, the Perron family, who innocently moves in a cursed house where they
experienced all weird stuff like birds knocking dead in their house, picture
frames falling out from their walls, and a paranormal entity (appearing every
3:07 in dawn) who’s playing “hide and clap” with them and dragging their
children’s feet while sleeping. They also presented an odd looking tree with no
leaves on it, it was said to be the spot where the witch who confessed her love
to Satan committed suicide The Perrons were genuinely helped by the Warrens in which they were able
to defeat the demonic curse at the end. But this is after all the dispute that
they encountered against the dark entity. The film have shown how hard the
family fought when Mrs. Perron got possessed, their daughter got dragged across
the living room and was slammed on walls and windows, the police (who only
wanted to help) got bitten and knocked off by the possessed Mrs. Perron and
ghosts of different entity showing up in front of their faces all of a sudden. It
was a great horror movie, there are a lot of breathe taking moments where you
would freeze in your seat waiting for the ghost to show up but then it doesn’t
happen and while you’re all relaxed, something will show up on the screen that
will make you jump off your chair and you’ll have that mini heart attack that
will make guys scream like a little girl. With all of the different scary elements
and the organized plot presentation, the movie has successfully caught the
hearts of the viewers who loves horror films.
The
movie has succeeded in giving people a horror film that is worth watching for
movie goers who loves to get goose bumps. The effects and timing of the
paranormal entity in the film were very accurate and effective. This film has
given us a happy ending where the Perron family was released from the curse which
we missed from Insidious and all of the sequels of Saw. I also love the idea of
the clock stopping at exactly 3:07 in the morning and whenever I wake up at
dawn to go to the rest room, that part of the movie always make me alert and
vigilant with my surrounding which is kind of silly. This only shows that the
movie has an impact on me and other people who watched this film. What I would
have loved more is for them to show a little bit more of Annabelle in the film
because I was interested about her part of the story where I kind of didn’t get
from the film. But if I have to describe this film in one word, it would be
“spine-chilling”. So if you haven’t
watched the movie, I guarantee, you will never play hide and clap ever again
and you will remember this film for the rest of your human life.
