Based upon true events, The Conjuring tells the horrific story of paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren. The Warrens, whose reports have inspired The Amityville Horror, come to assist the Perron family who experience terrorizing events in their farmhouse. They are forced to come face-to-face with a demonic entity in desperation to save their family.
The movie has grossed over $220,166,000 worldwide, earning $41.5 million during its debut weekend. This broke The Purge‘s previous record as the biggest opening for an original R-rated horror film.
Rotten Tomatoes critiqued it at 86% and a 7.2/10, describing it as “well-crafted and gleefully creepy, The Conjuring ratchets up dread through a series of effective old-school scares.”
The Conjuring is a melting pot of every horror film you’ve ever seen. Filled with suspense and terror, it will have your heart racing and spine tingling.
Personally, I have seen the movie twice. The first time, almost sending me out of the theater, had me convinced that it was by far the best scary movie I have ever watched. The second time still had me holding my breath and covering my eyes in horror.
