I couldn’t sleep the next few nights!! Lol
So scary , I’m watching the others as well!!
Boo!!!
Right from the start of the film the quality of tension underlies the entire film. James Wan makes the light and shade, as well as a couple of jokes, work immensely well for this film. Although I understand that this was scripted, it was supposed to be scripted from real-life, but thanks to the fact that there is no commentary of any kind, we simply don't know. I think it would be appropriate for the filmmakers to either get Lorraine Warren (if she wants to) do a commentary, or maybe have the writers do a joint commentary saying what is adapted real-life, and what is out and out fiction. Overall, at least from my point of view, I would classify this film as the scariest I've ever seen. I have been shut down about this, and told that MAMA, INSIDIOUS CHAPTER 2, and some other films are scarier, but given what I know about Ed and Lorraine, and that I like supernatural, ghost house type stories (however, this is so much more than just a ghost house story), I still maintain that this is a James Wan masterpiece that takes you on a tour of the dark side.
When I received the DVD Blu-ray combo was happy to find that the cover was the hologram of one particular scene, and it's pretty cool. I still don't like the ultraviolet option since you have to sign up for two accounts (and they ask you for too much personal material), the file you can stream is only available for a limited time, and the so-called digital download presupposes you've passed over all the personal information before you can get the digital file. Anyway, I really wish the Studios would just can it with the UV garbage and provide a digital download. The Three extras are really great, since you get an interview with the original family, as well as the clearly terrified mother; there is also a special on Lorraine Warren, who takes her work very seriously, and the special feature is a very powerful bonus. The feature with James Wan, is a pleasure to watch, since he is obviously done his research on Ed and Lorraine, and it is clear James enjoys his work, and he knows what scares you...; Which makes his later claim, which he gave in a separate interview that I saw on the BBC, that he is leaving horror all the more devastating: there is simply no one of the caliber of James Wan that I am aware of. I for one, certainly hope he goes back on his statement that he is leaving horror, since I'll be lining up for tickets at the theater, and preorders for combo packs.

Amazon's Fulfillment services in Lexington KY is getting to be very bothersome; I had two orders thrown together in one BAG, and it looked like no care was taken with the orders at all.TAKEN 2 had the cover damaged, and the CD "NEW" had an obvious bend in the cover; only the CONJURING combo miraculously survived anything except a few minor dings; most of my orders in the last few months have been packed in the same careless manner, and some damage has been above and beyond normal shipping issues, since the el-cheapo packing is used a de-facto send method.
That's why I was pleasantly surprised by this film. Not only it avoids those pitfalls (it does have a few jump scares, but they're not cheap or unnecessary), it manages to actually tell a good story that can actually scare you. It might not make you jump from your seat or hide under the covers (it depends on what kind of person you are, really), but it will at the very least creep you out and leave you with an uneasy feeling several times.
The first thing you want to do is ignore the "Based on a true story" sign. That's either purposefully misleading or an outright lie, for obvious reasons. Furthermore, it doesn't matter, since it doesn't add or take from your enjoyment of the story.
The plot is, quite frankly, nothing new. A family moves to a secluded house in the woods and it turns out to be haunted, so they contact a somewhat famous paranormal-investigators couple to help them with their problem before they're driven insane. The plot bringing nothing new to the table isn't really a bad thing, since it's all about the execution.
For starters, the movie counts with an amazing cast. No superfamous stars or silly Disney TV rejects here. Everyone, from the youngest to the oldest does a great job with their role. The visual style of the movie is also very appealing. The visuals on the movie and the make-up job are excellent, and the little CGI there is does a great job, and it's only used when necessary.
Second, the characters here are well represented. While they're kind of a cliché (specially the family), they're actually interesting and likable people. They're cliché, but they're not one-note. This is very important, since it marks one of the reasons this movie is not like the awful horror films of later years: you actually care about these characters. For instance, the paranormal investigators are actually shown to be people who thoroughly investigate the cases to make sure there actually IS something paranormal occuring. Most movies will just claim these guys are always right and rational people are always wrong, but here, the couple recognizes that most cases of ghosts, spirits or haunting are actually tricks played on people by their own minds. This marks an important distinction, since in most "horror" films these days you hate the main characters so much that you end up rooting for the villain.
Third, I can't state this enough: this movie is REALLY creepy. There are some parts that will give you goosebumps and make you see things that aren't there. The end shows up pictures of the actual people this film is based on. Those old-time pictures are usually quite creepy by themselves, more so here. There are small bits of the story that are left unexplained, which actually adds to the overall mysterious feel of the films, unlike other films, that leave you thinking "What the hell?" here the lack of specific details only adds to the film's appeal. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just say there are some times when the movie makes you think it's going to do one of those groan-inducing bad-horror-flick clichés, but it turns out to be something different.
So, again, I think it's a pretty sweet film. As a last note, the quality of the Blu Ray picture and audio is great. I haven't checked the extras yet, so I don't know how good they are, but they seem to be a sizable chunk. If you have a Blu Ray player, that's the way to watch it.

Der erste Trailer von "The Conjuring" klang aber vielversprechend. Nach einer wahren Geschichte, wird einem dort erzählt, was man anfangs anzweifeln mag. Deshalb ließ ich es mir nicht nehmen, den Film im Kino anzusehen. Und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Dieser Film war, meiner Meinung nach, der beste Horrorfilm, den ich seit langem gesehen habe.
Ich weiß nicht, ob ich es schaffen werde, hier keine Spoiler zu posten, und die Story möchte ich jetzt auch nicht erzählen.
Nur so viel vorweg: Die Geschichte von Spukhäusern wurde ja bereits in vielen Filmen erzählt. Hier geht es auch wieder um ein heimgesuchtes Haus, aber dennoch ist alles ein wenig anders.
Anfangs sind es noch Kleinigkeiten: Tote Tiere, knarrende Türen, Klopfen an den Wänden, flackernde Lichter, herunterfallende Bilder und Uhren, die genau um 3:07 stehen bleiben. Aber mit der Zeit wird alles viel schlimmer, die Ereignisse nehmen dramatische Formen an.
Also wird das Ehepaar Warren, ihres Zeichen "Geisterjähger" oder wie man sie auch immer nennen mag, gerufen, um den paranormalen Phänomenen auf den Grund zu gehen. Und sie stellen Erschreckendes fest. Was genau, das kann ich hier nicht sagen, da es ansonsten die Spannung nimmt. Nur so viel: Es handelt sich definitiv nicht nur um Geister.
Also versucht das Ehepaar nach besten Kräften, der Familie zu helfen und das Haus zu "reinigen", was alles andere als einfach ist.
Die Vergangenheit des Hauses kommt zu Tage, die Ereignisse überschlagen sich und die "Hausbesetzer" rächen sich nun auch noch an Außenstehenden.
Ob am Ende alles gut geht? Wenn ich das jetzt hier verrate, ist die Spannung ja weg.
Alles in allem kann ich nur sagen, dass ich mich während der Vorstellung nicht nur einmal erschrocken habe. Nicht nur einmal standen mir quasi die Haare zu Berge und ich hatte eine Gänsehaut. Als die Vorstellung zu Ende war, musste ich jedenfalls einige Male kräftig durchatmen und ein wenig lächeln, als ich die beiden Damen neben mir panisch sagen hörte: "Diesen Film werde ich mir NIE - WIEDER - ansehen!"
Im Abspann werden noch die beiden Warrens gezeigt, wie sie damals wirklich aussahen, ebenso die heimgesuchte Familie. Es scheint also doch wirklich passiert zu sein, auch wenn ich es mir noch immer nicht wirklich vorstellen mag.
Wer Horrorfilme mag, Geschichten von Spukhäusern toll findet oder sich einfach mal wieder richtig erschrecken möchte, dem kann ich "The Conjuring" wirklich wärmstens empfehlen.
Ich habe gelesen, es soll einen zweiten Teil von "The Conjuring" geben. Neugierig bin ich auf jeden Fall.
