A family moves into a house and things start going bump in the night. The family tasks a couple of paranormal experts to investigate and things get crazy. Based very loosely on the story of a real life haunting, this film doesn't add much new material to the horror genre. It has echos of The Exorcist and Poltergeist, but in a good way. The best scares and thrills in this one are the old school ones - lights going out, things falling off the walls, things like that. This film is really we'll shot. Near the beginning of the film there is a super cool long shot that made me day wow. I'm not a big fan of horror films, but I did enjoy this one.
The Conjuring scares up 3 out of 5 stars!
