REVIEW OF "THE CONJURING"

Horror is a genre that has a way of affecting us, long after we leave for home. Unlike other genres the effect isn't positive and yet we are interested in the next horror movie knowing well what’s in store. Though horror is a widely reiterated genre, very few movies stand the test of time.

Expectations starts to rise from the trailer on wards  especially if the director of SAW and INSIDIOUS is returning for his next venture. And the director has hit it right in the bull’s eye.

The Warrens are called in for help after the Perrons find an unsettling presence in their new home. Add to this, the dog that senses ghosts, a cellar which should not have been opened, the  children becoming the target, you will this movie to be fairly predictable. And that’s where you go wrong.

The screenplay is so tightly knit along with some strong performances from the entire cast. The Warrens themselves have a past with demons, and as they are ready to confront their worst fears, problems rise and ultimately all hell break loose.

The tiniest objects hold the utmost importance in a horror movie. This one is no exception either. From the musical mirror thing to the chain of the Warrens to Mr. Warren’s personal museum of cursed items, everything looks creepy and haunted (I bet, the Annabelle Doll will look right through your soul.)

All this leads to ultimate climax where everything that can go wrong in an exorcism goes wrong. Adding to this macabre is the fact that the exorcism is not performed by the pastor but by Mr.Warren himself.

Having said that, THE CONJURING is definitely worth the price of admission and a must watch for all horror fans.


PS: Don’t buy a Coke for this movie because you will spill more than you drink.
