A couple of days ago I introduced you a list of my favorit top 10 horror movies (click to read it here), so  I thought let's go into more details and let's talk about the series of 

THE CONJURING

PART 1 REVIEW

Storyline

In 1971, Carolyn and Roger Perron move their family into a dilapidated Rhode Island farm house and soon strange things start happening around it with escalating nightmarish terror. In desperation, Carolyn contacts the noted paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren, to examine the house. What the Warrens discover is a whole area steeped in a satanic haunting that is now targeting the Perron family wherever they go. To stop this evil, the Warrens will have to call upon all their skills and spiritual strength to defeat this spectral menace at its source that threatens to destroy everyone involved.

Review

The Conjuring has a running time of 113 minutes, the movie is R-rated and is available on Bul-Ray and DVD. It tells us the true story of the Perrons, who will be attacked by their house, by deamons, by something surreal. This until they don't know what to do anymore and so they are contacting the couple Warren, who are travelling from University to University to show, what they have seen already, since it comes out, that Ed and Lorraine are ghost hunters. The cellar of the Warren house is full of ghost treasures, and especially when they go into the house of the Perrons, the figure out that something strange and most terrible is going on. 

The CAST is awesome. Vera Farmiga is Lorraine Warren, she is like the contact person to the deamons, who is so good in her performance. She showed that also in movies like Orphan, by her side Patrcik Wilson is also great. But most of all the kids in the movie are incredible in their performance. 

The CAMERA is also great and Mister James Wan, who also directed SAW, Sinister, or Incidious, knows exactly how to use the camera, sometimes full of, sometimes POV, sometimes slow cuts into the directions where the deamon is supposed to be. It scared me so when I was watching it, and remember, he set high standards in 2013 already.

The SETTING is most ot the time the house of the Perrons.

The MUSIC is awesome, 70 style, cool music at all.

The EFFECTS are minor important, rather The Conjuring uses slow terror on a high level.

CONCLUSION

What I liked about the movie, is the overall performance of the characters, the kids are awesome in their acting, the camera is greeat, and the movie is quite short with 113 minutes, because the action is so fast and not tiriing, that it feels great and fun to watch The Conjuring.

What I did not like abou the movie, is that it tries to steal a bit from other horror movies like Paranormal Activity or the Hitcock movies, as well as some other movies, so we get a bit a feeling, that we saw some takes already, but it is a minor minus point on high level.

The Conjuring is a great movie, and still today something what I really like to watch again. So for its genre it has of course 10/10 points, overall 9.5/10 because of that minor critic.

Please excuse me, that I missed out the technical details today. You can find them on the DVD or Blu-Ray box easily or here.

Thanks for reading, and have fun watching movies.
