Reviews

When I originally reviewed James Wan's haunted house classic The Conjuring, I had given it a 9/10 for certain issues pertaining to the focus of the film and character development.

There's very little character development in the film (especially with Warrens) and too many disjointed horror scenes (like the Crooked Man stuff).

Also the movie shows a woman who is sceptical of the whole haunting episode and dismisses it as a hoax--this was new for me as most horror movies tend to take themselves too seriously , to the point of not allowing any scepticism about existence of the spirit .

I believe The Conjuring to be one of the best horror films of the last decade and it's a hard act to follow.

The movie was directed by James Wan, who directed the first Conjuring film as well as some other action movies.
