James Wan Will Explore Another Home Haunting in The Conjuring

user posted image

James Wan, director of 2011′s surprise hit “Insidious” (made for a meager $1.5 million, the film has grossed $53 million domestically and just south of $76 million worldwide), has signed on to direct another home haunting in “The Conjuring”.

The story is from a pitch by Carey and Chad Hayes, and is “inspired by the supernatural events that happened in the Rhode Island home of the Perron family.”

The article says Wan is a perfect fit for the film, which I take it to mean it’s going to rely mostly on practical effects utilizing a relatively small budget ala “Insidious”.

Peter Safran and Tony DeRosa-Grund are producing.

Worth a watch if you're into supernatural horror, but I dont get why it's rated R.. it isn't really that scary, and i'm not usually someone who revels in these kinds of movies. (read: scared shitless of horror movies)

I don't know.. saw the trailer in the cinema and looks like the kind of thing that has been done countless times. You know...spooky house with evil past and stuff and some ghostbuster-like people are called to investigate. Then this girl's leg got pulled by some spirit and I was like.. hey I've seen that in Paranormal Activity! And then the trailer ends with someone first seeing nothing in front of her, when she looks to the other side and looks back to the front, boom suddenly the ghost appears. You see that in like every single horror trailer.
But since its getting rave reviews and is said to be the biggest opening for an R rated movie ever, I guess there might be some surprises.

Ah... "The Conjuring"... this movie has actually gotten me excited about a couple of weeks ago based on the trailer (the true story side of things) + RT score + IMDB rating + James Wan + I have not seen a good supernatural flick in cinema for ages.

RottenTomatoes:

Extremely well-crafted and gleefully creepy, The Conjuring ratchets up the dread with a series of smartly delivered, terribly effective old-school scares.


James Wan, the "Sarawakian-born movie director" tongue.gif I loved "Insidious", and we have a sequel for that as well. Patrick Wilson seem to be his choice of actor for his movies. James Wan really wants to bring back the 'old-school' style scares and "Insidious" did that brilliantly.

Currently "The Conjuring" holds a terrific 85% on RT and a brilliant 8.1/10 from IMDB which is always difficult. For a "supernatural / horror" type flick to get this kind of reception is more than welcomed.

Looking forward to seeing it, releasing locally August 1. smile.gif

I checked GSC website, there is only 1 show at midnight for July 25 and 26. I think this must be one of those early screenings or something... full release with more showtimes should start for August 1st.

Some cinemas (especially MBO) will be showing sneaks from Friday to Sunday so if you can't wait to scare yourself silly then this is your chance.

Not sure if they censored anything in Malaysia but it is a darn good movie based on a freaky true story.
One of the better horror films I have watched thus far, highly recommended for horror freaks like me!
