The Conjuring (2013)

I'm in LOVE!!!!

I'm in love with James Wan!!!!

Okay, maybe I'm hyperbole-ing....

I am really enjoying his work!

Well, maybe NOT Saw (2004), not a gore fan, but his Insidious and now The Conjuring, has proven that he understand how to capture his audience in suspense!!

Wow.

Supposedly based on true story.

Some things are obviously artistic licensing.... but the end product, impressive.

I'm also in love with Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga (Bates Motel) and Lili Taylor!! Is that too greedy??? I forgive Lili Taylor for The Haunting (1999). She is a really convincing actress!!

Some character have potential but weren't allowed to shine. And have to add at 2 hours, I can understand why.

It is really hard to comprehend why they would keep all the... supernatural artifacts at they home!! I personally would not! That's just because I'm chicken shit!!!

If you are a fan of horror, go for it!!

And I thought the "contrarian" is Mary... (Mary Mary quite contrarily... )

Bad joke, don't have a cow...

I do like The Conjuring.

Like Insidious, the movie making approach is a little "old" fashion, in a sense that the attention is paid into creating suspense...

Right down to paying homage to Alfred Hitchcock



A lot of movies especially the rated R one tend to use "sex" to attract attention to itself (Evil Dead anyone, even the original)

Having said that, it seems that James Wan is classy enough not to go that way

I... respect that.

Also, the casting in itself it quite marvelous.

Everyone I feel, brought their A game!!

I'm just having a discussion here, there is no right or wrong. Just want to get my point of view across and please, if you have anything to add, ADD!!

My OTHER two sen

Which is the interesting thing about The Conjuring. The leads are four fold, The Warrens and The Perron

... The reason why I did not mention Dead Silence (2007), is because I haven't watch Dead Silence...

There is only so many hours in a day... And have to work some more...

The one in the movie is WAY creepier...

My point exactly!! As I had stated in my previous preview, I really do not understand why they would keep the cursed object in their house....

I'm a chicken shit. There is NOT WAY ON EARTH I would have kept those as trophies....

I understand that. But am just stating I not that brave...

The Conjuring is being released on Bluray on the October 22nd.... YEAH!!!

The Conjuring (2013) Addendum

For my original review, please goto:

The Conjuring Review

What I would like to add is the sound design for this movie.

It is simply, SPECTACULAR!!

I know, I know, many a people is talking about Pacific Rim and The Lone Ranger etc, but for me, this one takes the cake!!

Everything is... WEIGHTED, which really REALLY adds to the movie.

Additionally, the special feature are great. I finally get to hear James Wan speak and it is a surprise.

He sounds... ENGLISH!!!

Joking apart, the special feature also has interviews with the Perron family and Lorraine Warren, so really nice inside to the story/movie!!

So in case I was not clear, I LUV THIS MOVIE!!

My Additional Two Sen.
