The Conjuring
Starring Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor
Directed by James Wan (Saw)
Rated R for sequences of disturbing violence and terror
Real life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (Wilson and Farmiga) have searched for evil activity in hundreds of homes but apparently this case of a demon haunting a family in Rhode Island is the one that they found to the most disturbing. Personally, I was very scared watching it. Easily Wan’s best film, this is a masterpiece of horror that relies on a credible and authentic look and feel rather than the torture porn normally passed off as horror nowadays. The film is so well produced, written, directed and acted that there is no surprise that it is doing so well at the box-office. So if you are like me and love it when the hair stands up on your neck, and you haven’t had that feeling in a while, you gotta check this one out. A-
