Thank you guys for your thoughs about this movie, as I was wondering wether to watch it or not. Now I know that I want to watch it.

I appreciated The Conjuring because it has something so many other horror films fail to get right: atmosphere. Pervasive dread is hard to get right - but this film nailed it on the head. Other than a somewhat over-the-top ending, I though it handled things very well.Apparently James Wan wanted to go out with a bang as he claims he is "done with horror" despite the fact he seems pretty good at the genre.

over rated this one. its the same story as every other horror. first half was boring then it got good but then it just ended. worth watching but i thought the evil dead remake 2013 was the best horror in years

Same here. The director seems to be leaving hints of sequels in the conclusion of his films. Still, it was well crafted and scary.

I have to agree that this ranks as one of the best horror films in a long time. It's all about the atmosphere - something so many other films just can't get right but The Conjuring is pretty much perfect. The ending pushed things a little, but overall and excellent film.

the exorcist+ the omen= the conjuring.. Scariest shit I've seen in a while. A must watch.

If Wan can do action as well as he does horror... Fast 7 should be the highest-grossing film in the series. The Conjuring did phenomenal business over the weekend. I usually avoid horror films in theaters (outside of the occasional Halloween scare) but I may have to buck that trend seeing how good of response this is getting not just from critics (which is rare for a horror film) but even better from general audiences. Maybe on my day off, I'll sneak in a show and see if the horror hype lives up to expectations.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to wait until Tuesday to see this film. I'm hearing some seriously great stuff about this film and I actually love James Wan as a horror director. I loved Saw, I really liked (most of) Insidious. I even liked Death Sentence. Based on just three horror films he's made, he may be one of the only horror directors today who can generate genuine scares and shattering suspense through some really creepy imagery and atmosphere. I think he's great. However, after Insidious 2 he's switching over to action to direct Fast 7... what do you think of that?
