I was drop dead curious when I heard the hype from the people who had seen the early screenings and the midnight shows; The Conjuring was said to be the scariest movie of 2013, that even the hunkiest man alive would whine over it. More to that, they actually provided a priest when the screening occurred, saying that this movie could cause a high disturbance for certain viewers and that they might seek the priest for a further help. The fact that The Conjuring was based on a true event of The Perron and Warren family. As the warning said in the opening of the movie, that this particular event was considered to be The Warren's most frightening case which they kept it sealed .. until now. So, was it that scary?

The story took place in the 70s when Roger and Carolyn Perron was just moving in to their new house with their five daughters, Andrea, Nancy, Christine, Cindy and April. Their life was just finally began to settle when their beloved dog Sadie died out of nowhere. Then strange thing started to happen, from crackle sounds, door left open, weird noises, and stuffs. Short story short, The Perrons decided to ask for a help from the infamous demonologist, Lorraine and Ed Warren. The Warrens agreed to help as they discovered more and more terrifying things inside the house and the history behind it.

Now the journey begin. The journey was engaging with nonstop jump-scares and terrors. It was haunting and made you feel like"What's gonna come up next?" and then booyah! Though the ghostly-encounters couldn't top Insidious's, but I was happy with the traditional horror film formula with a complete mixture of scare, haunt, terror, shock and fright. And I could also feel the sense of seventies here, as the movie took time in. The pace was steady and made you sit still within the entire 112 minutes. The plot was solid, tight and efficient and it worked without too much scare-in-the-dark scenes. Everything seemed real and 'normal' and that's what made this movie to be considered as a true horror film! And you guys should watch it! bye x
