Music Review: "The Conjuring"

The Conjuring is based on a true story. Starting in 1971, the story begins with one married couple, Carolyn and Roger Perron, who moves into a old farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode Island with their five daughters: Andrea, Nancy, Christine, Cindy and April. Strange and unexplained things starts to happen to almost each family member and hidden places in the old farmhouse in which they resided in were soon discovered. Deeply disturbed and terrified, Carolyn Perron contacts the famous paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren, to help them figure out why weird things are happening to them and the house itself. After visiting their house, Ed and Lorraine had come to a conclusion that there is a malevolent, demonic spirit haunting the Perron Family and it will not be an easy task to get rid of it. They need to get rid of the evil spirit before it kills everyone in the family.

I have watched a lot of horror movies and I found this particular movie to be very creepy because of the fact that "it is based on a true story." The director James Wan does an exceptional job at providing a chilling, fact-based background on the famous paranormal investigators: Ed and Lorraine Warren. Also, once the movie is over, there are real photos of the Perron family and photos of the old farmhouse. This gives a unique touch to the movie because it leaves people thinking whether or not this actually happened.
There were many scenes that were unexpected and terrifying. The Conjuring is not the typical horror movie that you usually watch and that's what makes the story exhilarating. Even though, there were some moments where I was on the edge of my chair and expecting something to pop out, I was still surprised and caught off guard. So, if you are the type of person who can't handle suspense and horror, then this is definitely not the movie for you to watch. This movie will put you on the edge.

On a side note, there are people who believes that this movie was actually based on a true story and there are disbelievers as well. The Conjuring is a must watch movie. Go watch and decide if it was based on a true story.
Rate: 9/10
