Review of The Conjuring (2013) by Alex B — 29 Mar 2016

While not great, it was a good movie. One thing this has going for it is the fact that it didn't succumb to modern horror cliches. There weren't loud sounds preceding or paired with a scare. The acting was good and the story over all was kind of interesting. Though I wouldn't say this was in the least bit scary and it could have been since it did away with the music stings in an ironic twist. Things just happen, and sometimes you have to be rather astute to catch the reveal before they blatantly show it. I wouldn't watch it again since it did get boring at times.

With that said, I must commend the makers of this movie since they did go a more clever route and did break away from the stereotypical horror mold, by bringing the genre back to a time when you couldn't afford to go to stockmusiclibrary(dot)com and look under horror. I just wished it was more interesting.
