Just got back from seeing it. Probably the best horror movie to come out in a long time.

Really good...tense, genuinely scary, and well paced.
One of the best if not the standard bearer for modern horror films. Highly recommend it... |

Wow...must just not be for me. My wife and I just got back from seeing it. We weren't impressed. I had high hopes goin in because of reviews, but was very disappointed walking out. Quite honestly, I just got a kick out of laughing my ass off at other people around me and their reactions, funny as hell!

I thought The Conjuring was pretty good although it didn't bring anything new to the table. Let's be honest, this type of horror flick has been done to death.
It definitely fell into the cliche trap at certain points- family moving into a new house, dog won't even go inside, clocks stop at certain times, pictures falling, youngest child was first to make contact with "spirits", stumbling upon the old, boarded up cellar- but how can you make a horror movie without some of those elements? I feel like it would be nearly impossible. The acting was good, particularly from the actors that player Mr. and Mrs. Warren and the setting was good, albeit a bit played out. I thought where this movie excelled was in it's suspense. It was one of the most tense films I've seen recently and it didn't rely on cheap, jumpy scares to make you feel uncomfortable. I only had a couple complaints, and they were very mild. One was the fact that it got a bit slow in the middle particularly after
Spoiler!
The other 'complaint' was that I didn't really understand the whole Annabelle thing.

Whatevskis. All in all, it was definitely a good movie. I'd recommend it. |

Saw this movie last night and thought it was a good movie.
I had read so many glowing reviews though and kinda wished i hadn't. I expected too much. And I agree with Thavirus about the doll. Could've completely removed it from the movie and it would've been the same movie. Im not sure why it was even there other than to put a creepy doll in the movie. |
