- LivewireAdmin31 maart 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
- Uly9 september 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.
- Paul Cee23 oktober 2025I absolutely loved it. So many other movies try to pull off this kind of story, but this one just does it right. It has everything you want from a possession film — the fear, the tension, the atmosphere — but still manages to feel fresh and real. The acting and direction are spot on, and the story really pulls you in. It’s chilling, emotional, and easily one of the best modern horror films I’ve seen. I respect the Poltergeist tributes, not the same. The cast is amazing. Loved it. Wow.
- FVNKYFLIX18 december 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.
- flavo4316 december 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.
