A damn fine horror film which actually delivers some truly jolting scares, while also being deeply unsettling in the long run. I have not seen a mainstream genre film with such sustained sequences of tension and outright terror like this since maybe The Ring. It will go down as one of the best. Vera Farmiga gives a truly flawless and hauntin g performance. While James Wan proves that he's just about become the great horror director he's striven to be. Despite it's minor flaws, The Conjuring is a new horror classic, and a great experience at the movies. It takes a lot to scare me, but this one really did. Anna the doll will haunt your dreams.
A masterpiece of independent experimental cinema. A mind-blowing burst of originality. One of my very favorite films of the year. Also, it's really not as baffling as many have led one to believe. It's a experience to wash over you, and intoxicate you. Just pure brilliance, and work of unforgettable art (whether you love it or hate it.)
