The Conjuring Ratings & Reviews
- FVNKYFLIXDecember 18, 2025The Conjuring is what happens when a sweet little farmhouse in Rhode Island decides to be more haunted than a Skynet server farm on Judgment Day. The Perron family thinks they’re getting a fresh start, and instead they move into a house that feels like the T-1000 got bored of chasing John Connor and decided to start slamming doors, clapping in closets, and playing “guess who’s standing behind you” at three in the morning. Every scene is basically, “What if your house hated you…and was really patient about it?” Enter Ed and Lorraine Warren, the closest thing this universe has to a tag-team of paranormal Sarah Connor and a vaguely Catholic T-800. Ed’s the practical one, lugging around tape recorders and holy water like ammo, while Lorraine is the psychic who walks into a room and immediately looks like she just got a push notification from hell. Miles Dyson would be in the corner trying to measure this thing; the Warrens just walk in like, “Yeah, that’s a demon. You need a priest and probably new furniture.” The haunting escalates the way Skynet escalates: quietly at first, then all at once. You get weird smells, bruises, and yanked bedsheets before it graduates to full-blown possession and airborne moms. Bathsheba, the witchy demon running the show, has big T-1000 energy—once she locks onto the family, she does not care about locks, distance, or common sense. She’s riding on top of wardrobes, hanging from trees, and treating the mom’s body like a rental car with no insurance. By the time the exorcism hits, the house is basically the steel foundry from Terminator 2, except instead of molten metal it’s rosaries, screaming children, and a mom trying not to murder her own kid. What makes it hit harder is that the Warrens aren’t superheroes; they’re tired, scared, and just stubborn enough to stay in the fight. Lorraine’s visions chew her up, Ed nearly gets wrecked doing improvised exorcism work, and the Perrons are hanging on by a thread while the house runs patch notes on new ways to traumatize them. It’s less “boo gotcha” horror and more “this thing will not stop until someone breaks the cycle,” which is straight out of Sarah Connor’s whole playbook. Hasta la vista, baby — because if Sarah Connor, John Connor, the T-800, the T-1000, and Bathsheba all ended up in that farmhouse, John would be bricking up the basement, Sarah would be burning the damn tree, and the T-1000 would be the only one petty enough to stay behind and argue with the demon about who haunts the place better.
- UniqueMovies Deb HOctober 28, 2025:The Real Conjuring House: The actual real Conjuring house was actually going to be sold this Halloween 2025. 🏠 I'm glad I did some further investigation because! Guess what? They sold it to a secret buyer!!😱 Please! if anyone has information on who bought the real Conjuring house, please leave a comment here and let us all know. Right now at this time, they will not reveal it! 💥🏠💥 Like many successful horror films, The Conjuring sold itself back in 2013 as being based on a true story ✨🏠✨ Ed and Lorraine Warren where real people who died in 2006 and 2019. Respectfully!! 🙏😇🙏 And they were two of the most famous and controversial figures in the world of the paranormal ✨👻✨ This movie is based on real reported hauntings of the Perron family in the 1970s.💥 But the film is heavily fictionalized for a dramatic effect. According to the oldest daughter, the movie is about 95% fiction and 5% hard truth!! 🪓🏠🪓 The family really did move into a old farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode Island in 1971. The family report is strange Noises, levitating beds!! and objects moving on their own. The activity mainly focused on Carolyn Perron, who reported being physically attacked!! 🪓🪓🪓 The real haunting reportedly continued for nearly a decade! until the family finally moved out in 1980. The intense exorcism scene with a mother, wife, of course at the end of the movie never actually happened. Thank God for her and her family!!!🙏 😇🙏 Audrea Perron did state that she witnessed a frightening seance in which her mother appeared to be possessed! 👹 and her father kicked the warrens out of the house!! Wow! Can you believe that? Actually kick the warrens out of the house and all they're trying to do is help!! ✨😇✨ Bathsheba Sherman::: The movie portrays Bathsheba as a satanic witch who cursed the land. 🧹 🪄 When in reality she was a real person in the 1800s, And was a lifelong member of her Baptist Church and had a son who lived to adulthood. ✨😇✨ She never lived in the Perron farmhouse, though she did live nearby on another farm. 🏠 The real events were frightening but much less intense than the film itself!!
- LivewireAdminMarch 31, 2025I don't even know how many times I've watched this now but James Wan truly changed the horror game with this one. I remember I was still working at Regal at the time this came out and there was a lot of buzz about how this had received an R rating but not for language or nudity, just for pure horror. I don't think that's happened since? Wan ingeniously set up a shared universe in this with the Warren's collection room. It feels like almost every piece in there could be it's own standalone spinoff film. The cast is great, the scares are great. I was in the mood to marathon this series as there are entries I have not yet seen. Stay tuned... Starting with this one I would like to rate the evil entities each film features - Bathsheba: - 4 out of 5 - truly creepy looking - the clap game was sinister and scary enough to be put in the trailers - exorcism level type stuff - attempting to scare and kill an adult can be creepy but trying to kill a kid is on a whole other level
- flavo43December 16, 2025The Conjuring (2013) surprised me in the best way, especially as someone who doesn’t usually watch horror films. Knowing it was based on the real‑life paranormal investigations of Ed and Lorraine Warren drew me in, and the film’s adaptation of their accounts is genuinely frightening, claustrophobic, eerie, and mysterious. The casting is excellent, with strong performances that ground the supernatural elements in believable emotion. The effects—practical and digital—are used with restraint, enhancing the tension rather than overwhelming it. While there are a few traditional jump scares, the movie relies more on atmosphere and slow‑burn dread, which kept me completely riveted. Watching it in the dark only amplified the experience, making every creak and shadow feel significant. The Conjuring succeeds as both a chilling haunting story and a character‑driven drama, offering a gripping entry into modern supernatural horror even for viewers who don’t typically seek out the genre.
- hugoagogo69December 13, 2025Made the hairs in my neck stand up a few times. A well constructed horror, a genre that is hard to pull off convincingly.
- SandyOlson78December 6, 2025I'm speechless. It feels wrong to say I enjoyed it, because it's a true story, but it kind of gave me Poltergeist vibes. I enjoyed the screaming for some reason. There were so many people in it that I recognize, but I don't know why.
- RickFebruary 12, 2025I wrote this off as a bad horror schlock and put off watching it for a long time. I was wrong. What an unsettling and tense film. Also, note to self, don’t let creepy spirits vomit into your mouth. It never goes well.
- Kevin WelknerAugust 30, 2025One of my favorite horror movies
- HumptyFebruary 23, 2025Hide the clap 👏

- Nath PapadacisNovember 15, 2025It’s got your typical horror elements but I like the no nonsense acceptance of them. It doesn’t spend half the film with characters refusing to believe in the crazy happenings. My wife watched most of it from behind her hands, so points from her on scariness.
- Nathan MagretaOctober 31, 2025The conjuring isn't a basic haunted house movie. It has great characters, is genuinely scary, and overall, amazing. No wonder it started the biggest horror franchise ever.
- shirazesatOctober 29, 2025The first of many.
- 649xnOctober 30, 2025Love this movie, one of my favorites to this day.
- UlySeptember 9, 2025The Conjuring is a solid entry into the case files of Ed and Lorraine Warren. The opening build up had some good scares, but I felt it lost some of the tension once it was clear there really was something in the house. From then on it played more like a supernatural thriller than straight horror, which made it less spooky for me. Even so, it’s an enjoyable watch. A few moments even felt unintentionally funny, probably because of how the film has aged, but that didn’t take away too much. It’s not the scariest horror I’ve seen, but it works well as an introduction to the Warrens and the wider universe of stories that followed. Scary at first, spooky in parts, but more of a ghost story than a nightmare.
