Review of The Conjuring (2013) by C.j. H — 02 Jun 2016
James Wan delivers a very atmospheric film, but with little scares. I respect Wan for not hopping on the bandwagon and just putting jump scares in this movie. He relies on building tension and then delivering the scare.
But the scares never came and you're left with just tension that fizzles out. While I was disappointed with that aspect, Wan did a great job making the family feel real and all the relationships feel legit.
Overall "The Conjuring" is an okay film, but misses its mark at being terrifying.
