Review of The Conjuring (2013) by Roxanne D — 24 Apr 2016
It's always interesting to note the first person affected by the demonic possession, and then to what extent. Here, the former is less relevant than the latter. The mother is possessed by the demonic spirit, Bathsheba.
She has to remember that she loves her children in order to overcome the possession, which rather than the exorcism is what truly saves her. Horror has a very troubling relationship with women and especially mothers.
They are always put through ghastly trials, it seems, in order to earn or prove something. They generally come out triumphant, but not before being subjected to a hellish ordeal.
