The Conjuring
Genre: Horror
I decided to go and watch the Conjuring because I had never seen a horror film in the Cinema before. Plus, a friend of mine was badgering on at me saying that she wanted to watch it!
The first thing I will say to you is that the Conjuring isn't for someone who doesn't like jumpy films that have you at the edge of your seat the whole way through. In my opinion, It had a good story line to it. The fact that the house was old and slightly derelict was obvious but always adds effect to a horror film.
The scariest part of the whole film for me was the the doll, Annabelle. The whole film is said to be based on a true story and so is the doll. The actual doll obviously isn't going to look as scary as the one in the movie because the Director would have wanted the doll to freak out the audience and make them scared in the first five minutes of the film. However it is always scarier knowing that something like that exists somewhere in the world now...

People who enjoyed Insidious would love this film. It is directed by the same person and they both have the same feel to them; People being haunted and the family trying to stop the evilness from winning.
A down side I have with this film is that it had a happy ending. That probably sounds like an unusual thing to say but horror films stereotypically don't end with a happily ever after.
Even though I was terrified throughout, it was a great film to watch because the story and characters were well written and made the film worth the money.
I would definitely recommend to those of you who are adrenaline junkies or horror fanatics. However if you would prefer to sleep at night, this film maybe isn't for you...
Take a look at my Tumblr, if you like you can send me a request for your favourite film and I will try and write a review!
Thanks for reading!
