The Conjuring 2013 review C-



*Clap* *Clap*------- The Conjuring is currently scaring in theaters.  This is James Wan's latest foray into the horror genre.  Before I get into my review a little background on this director Wan begun his career by making a short film which would later become the Saw franchise.  He shopped it around to investors and was able to procure financing.  After Saw became a bonafide hit Wan had proven himself a bankable talent.

However multiple instalments later Saw ended up diluting the original direction of the first film.  Wan later went onto direct Insidious a creepy movie about a haunted child.  In it he continued his theme of utilizing creepy dolls and practical F/X work.  So when it comes to The Conjuring I am extremely excited.  I am familiar with the case and the people depicted therein.  Ed and Lorraine Warren are famous paranormal investigators.  They are controversial people because they have been accused of being charlatans but they welcome skeptics and present compelling paranormal evidence.

In "The Demonologist" the Warrens explain the demonic strategy for creating fear.  Infestation, oppression and possession.  Infestation is the first stage of a haunting... floor creeks, apparitions, shadows out the corner of your eye basic creepy stuff...oppression is when something happen to oppress the will of the victim to make them give up.  And possession is when one surrenders complete control of their body and mind to a demonic spirit usually ending in the victims death.

My problem with the The Conjuring is that it shows someone being possessed at the will of a demon which is incorrect because a human cannot be possessed unless permission is given.  The ending was overly dramatic for me.  Paranormal novices will find The Conjuring entertaining but I'm giving this movie a C-.

I'm giving it this grade because there are story elements that are left hanging and the computer graphics are bad.  This would have been better if it were released on Redbox.
