I’m not a huge fan of horror movies because the thrill or chill you’re supposed to get is either overdone to the point that you end up hating the movie or just wishing you could shoot the director.
The Conjuring was made on a $20 million budget, which may be low compared to other top movies out there, but for a top-class horror movie, the price is about right. After viewing this movie, I can boldly say this is a must-watch. Not all the time do critics and moviegoers agree, but here’s an exception—a movie that will keep you glued.

My favorite part of watching this movie was the idea I had in my head that if I got up to go pee or moved my head, I’d miss something. So, I just sat there, glued, not wanting to be disturbed as I witnessed strange occurrences happening and two married individuals (very bold individuals) going up against the demon.
Ed and Lorraine Warren are paranormal investigators, with Ed being a noted demonologist, author, and lecturer, and Lorraine being a professed clairvoyant and light trance medium.
Some things are better left for the TV screen because I can’t imagine myself going into a haunted house like the Warrens for no reason at all. And the Perron family? They’re bold because if I witnessed something strange going on in my house, we’d all be moving out immediately.


The Conjuring is based on a true-life story concerning the events in the life of the Perron family, who experienced demonic episodes and a series of unfortunate events in their farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode Island, in 1971. The family reached out to Ed and Lorraine Warren for help, who then came to the house to investigate the happenings and exorcise the evil.

The idea of making the events that took place at the Perrons’ farmhouse into a movie began over 20 years ago when Ed Warren played a tape of his original interview with Carolyn Perron for movie producer Tony DeRosa-Grund. DeRosa-Grund went through many ups and downs trying to get the movie made until he got a deal at New Line Cinema, and the movie went into production in 2012.

In conclusion, the movie may not scare you enough to jump off a cliff, but it will thrill you enough to keep you sitting tight. It is a good enough movie that I can ask you to go see.
