The Conjuring (2013) - The Wizard Watches
Until now, I have been in the small fraction of horror fans who had not yet seen The Conjuring. I wasn't afraid to either; I just never made time for it in my schedule. Now I know how much I was missing out on. Though there are a few underlying issues, The Conjuring is a classic ghost/possession story done right by the director of Saw and Dead Silence , James Wan. The scares are creepy and well-done, the family's story is enthralling, and everything is just done right and played up to the perfect haunted house movie effect. The film takes place in 1971 when Carolyn (Lili Taylor) and Roger Perron (Ron Livingston) move into a new, old house with their five young daughters. The family seems to enjoy the house for the most part except for their dog won't come in and there's an occasional smell of rotting meat. However, things start to go awry when the family dog is killed mysteriously in the night and soon after apparitions ...
