The Conjuring is an impressively terrifying (hate to say this) yet engaging and heartfelt horror thriller, inspired by the haunting of Perron family case faced by real paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in the 1970s. Despite the fact that it's frightening to watch, one can't help but to feel impressed with the film at the same time. While the film offers nothing new to the genre (most of the elements presented in the film were done before...dolls, bed pulling, sleepwalking, animals dying in a weird way,etc), but the pacing and execution was brilliant.
The acting main casts were excellent in delivering their best performance, especially Farmiga, her facial expressions is so convincing that you believe there's real evil lurking in that place.


Overall, James Wan successfully mixed the best elements of haunted house and demonic possession concepts into one film and cleverly delivered them in a seemingly refreshing way to the audience. If you're not afraid of being scared out of your life and would like a decent challenge, be my guest and go watch it now.
Rating: 8/10
Fortunately (or Unfortunately?), the events depicted in the film are largely fictional. If you have any questions about how much The Conjuring is fact and just how much is fiction, you can watch the clips shown in the link below:
