The Conjuring Review

*** The Conjuring Review ***

The Conjuring Starring Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga, Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor. The film was very intense and very scary. The film takes its time to build up tension; therefore it's more harrowing, because you don't know when the scares will start. Everything in the film was unpredictable. While it is not the scariest movie in recent memory, the scares themselves are well-crafted, and smartly delivered, and incredibly effective. The best part about them was that they are old-schooled crafted where CGI has little or nothing to do with them. The events, for the most part, was well made that it is almost impossible to find the computer made scares. While the scares are effective and realistically made, the creepy atmosphere is where the movie really shines. The creepiness of this movie is fantastic as there are numerous scenes where you cannot help but shudder. The script and dialogue by Chad and Carey Hayes was perfectly well written and who show off their skill at setting up scares and delivering increasingly suspenseful scenes. The plot was perfectly well constructed and the film boasts a powerful and tense atmosphere that will chill and terrify you. The Director James Wan did another amazing job and the fact that he can craft a truly intense and creepy ghost tale. The acting on this film was very strong and convincingly well acted. The film uses a unique framing to create tension, with creative camera angles and shots that don't feel gimmicky, rather fresh and often ingenious. The cinematography is both beautiful but is also a classical throw-back. The film really does feel like its setting, that of the late 60s. I will give this film an A.
