The Conjuring


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Jordan, Amberly, Michael

Well, this one worked a treat. James Wan may be relying on a few of his old tricks, but who can argue when he does it so well? What's great here is that, being based on a true story, he's jettisoned his spooky cartoony face ghosts and toned down the theatrics (just a smidge). It also helps that he has an amazing cast that create great characters to get invested in. Without the horror, I think the drama still works well by itself.

Also, gotta love the period setting.

I can't wait to check this one out again. Watching peoples reactions was half the fun the first time through. (Or perhaps I was just to scared to keep watching the screen...) Go and see this now.
