first english, below spanish: english: a masterpiece of paranormal horror. one of the most striking openings that horror cinema has delivered in recent years: 'the conjuring' begins with a force that shakes the audience in their seats and foreshadows what is to come. rarely does a film of the genre manage not only to unsettle, but also to establish itself as a solid work as a whole, and here james wan achieves it with admirable force. the film stands as a narrative exercise that transcends the merely commercial. beyond its belonging to a saga, we find a story supported by fascinating characters, with the warrens standing out for their magnetic presence and the credibility with which they are portrayed. the direction is meticulous and elegant, capable of pulling us into the heart of the story without resorting to excess, supported by immersive sound design and special effects that achieve a disturbing degree of realism. in terms of atmosphere, few works can boast such an accomplishment: tension permeates every frame, the setting is almost surgically precise, and the visual result possesses an aesthetic power that is hard to match. to this are added sequences of great intensity that, without showing more than necessary, succeed in elevating the experience to a climax as distressing as it is memorable. 'the conjuring' not only ranks among the best horror films of this century so far, but also positions itself as a contemporary benchmark of the genre, capable of engaging in dialogue with the great classics. a work that undoubtedly deserves a place on any serious list of horror cinema. spanish: obra maestra del terror paranormal. uno de los inicios más impactantes que ha dado el cine de terror en los últimos tiempos: 'expediente warren: el conjuro' arranca con una fuerza que sacude al espectador en la butaca y anticipa lo que está por venir. pocas veces una película del género logra no solo inquietar, sino además consolidarse como un film sólido en su conjunto, y aquí james wan lo consigue con una contundencia admirable. la cinta se erige como un ejercicio narrativo que trasciende lo meramente comercial. más allá de su pertenencia a una saga, encontramos una historia sustentada en personajes fascinantes, donde el matrimonio warren destaca por su magnética presencia y la verosimilitud con que son retratados. la dirección es minuciosa y elegante, capaz de arrastrarnos al corazón del relato sin recurrir a excesos, apoyada en un diseño de sonido envolvente y efectos especiales que alcanzan un grado de realismo perturbador. en términos de atmósfera, pocas obras pueden presumir de semejante logro: la tensión se respira en cada plano, la ambientación es de una precisión casi quirúrgica y el resultado visual posee una potencia estética difícil de igualar. a ello se suman secuencias de gran intensidad que, sin necesidad de mostrar más de lo necesario, consiguen elevar la experiencia hasta un clímax tan angustiante como memorable. 'expediente warren: el conjuro' no solo se sitúa entre las mejores películas de terror de lo que llevamos de siglo, sino que también se postula como un referente contemporáneo del género, capaz de dialogar con los grandes clásicos. una obra que, sin duda, merece figurar en cualquier lista seria sobre cine de terror.

A Masterclass in Terror and a Blueprint for the Genre" The Conjuring" is a truly phenomenal horror film that serves as a powerful testament to how a horror movie should be made. It's a cinematic masterpiece of terror that earns its scares through masterful atmosphere, psychological dread, and a compelling narrative, rather than relying on cheap tricks or gratuitous **** film's genius lies in its patient and meticulous build-up of tension. Director James Wan expertly uses every element—from eerie silence to unsettling sound design and meticulously crafted shadow play—to create a constant sense of unease that gets under your skin. This is horror that respects its audience, allowing the fear to creep in slowly and organically until it becomes a suffocating presence. Beyond the technical brilliance, the film is anchored by a strong, emotionally resonant story. The characters, both the beleaguered Perron family and the dedicated paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, are deeply human and relatable. Their fear feels genuine, making their plight all the more terrifying. The outstanding performances by the cast make you care about their fate, which is a crucial element that many horror films miss. The film perfectly executes classic haunted house tropes with a fresh, modern sensibility. It's a rare horror movie that manages to be consistently frightening without ever feeling stale or predictable. Every jump scare is earned, and every chilling moment contributes to the overall terrifying experience. Overall, "The Conjuring" is not just a great horror movie; it's a definitive example of what the genre can and should be. It is a terrifying, emotional, and impeccably crafted film that deserves its perfect rating.

The film directors after reading the book that contains the true story of the house has far more graphic content, it couldve been more scarier.

Part horror, part Lifetime original, and part evangelical PSA. I might be able to forgive the disjointed sappiness if every adult character weren't so unlikable and one-dimensional. The mood and pacing is all over the place. Between the suspense and thrills, which are mostly pretty good in themselves, the movie shoehorns in the most awkward sentimental and expositional scenes, accompanied by music that sounds as if it were taken from a made-for-tv soundtrack. The kind of backstory we get is: this is based on a true story, the Salem witch trials were actually good, and witches loudly proclaim their love for Satan as they curse innocent people. There is no interesting motive behind the haunting, and every line is written with maximum possible cheese. I may be disinclined to be so critical if anything in this movie were original, but it's more or less your standard religious horror fare. Witches are evil, demons possess people, and only a benevolent Christian or two can save you. I've seen everything done better, right down to the exorcism. The witch demon using telekinesis to shoot a rifle was new to me, but it was a low point among the intended scary moments (the other really bad one being the second part of the terrible laundry scene, where you are expected to believe that the witch's spirit can control the weather, but only a little), making me laugh out loud in a climactic moment when I should have been terrified. To be entirely fair, this movie is worse in hindsight. It has a good atmosphere, some pretty good scares, and doesn't kill the shock value with loud, orchestrated jump scares early on, like so many horror movies do. It's worth a viewing if you want something suspenseful and scary, which it is most of the time, but it certainly doesn't live up to the hype.

The Conjuring 1 is in my opinion one of the scariest horror films ever made and an Oscar worthy film

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

82/100. Understand tradition so you can perform the ritual and defeat evil. James Wan knows the tradition of the genre, that is why the ritual (the film) is performed looking great. Amazing first entry for the saga.

For me, this is one of the best horror films of the decade. Primarily because it's done in a unique way, at times feeling more like an adventure movie, which often lulls you into a false sense of security only to terribly surprise you. Additionally, there are two intriguing stories being told simultaneously, which ultimately intertwine naturally and complement each other. The only downside is the scenes where the adventurous aspect of the film takes over too much, giving it a bit of an modern MCU vibe.

Woefully unimpressive. Requires ignoring so many leaps in logic that it took me out of the experience. James Wan sure does know how to make scary images. He does it much better in other films.

Not a big fan of casual horror movies where there is not much else to the story. I mean this was ok, but I hoped for something better.

If you forget that this is supposed to be based on real demonhunters (lol), it's actually a fun movie for the whole family.

o filme foi paia preferia ir assistir o filme do pelé pelo menos lá morre criança e não morre cachorro

Exceptional horror story telling at its best. Among all time favorites

The fact that it is inspired by a real case allows the movie about a cursed house to be given the benefit of the doubt, and for the better, since the plot grows like a snowball, especially towards the climax.

It was a really good horror movie, maybe One of The greatest of all time. And i love how great Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga play together, they make it feel like they are an actual couple

This movies is absolutely terrifying the whole time. My favourite movie of all time.

This is well made but couldn't be much more forgettable. It utilises every trope in the supernatural possession genre without doing anything new. It's very well acted, directed and shot which is let down by the dull script. So it's entertaining but falls very short of being memorable. I'm sure I'll be reviewing this again soon as I'd have forgotten I've watched it before. Stick to Hereditary (2018) or The Haunting (1999) and that's saying something.

Perhaps this film represents the best chapter of the Conjuring saga, scary and full of suspense is the only one in the saga that really manages to scare, otherwise it is a very normal horror.

A damn near perfect horror movie. From start to finish it has you hooked and unsettled. Even if the true stories are amplified, it’s very enjoyable and as my first Conjuring franchise movie I’ve watched, I’m excited for the rest!

This is an ok horror/ghost/spooks & ghoulies type film. There are some jump scares and its somewhat atmospheric but it's also fairly predictable to an extent and its cheesy towards the end. I felt it was a shame there wasn't more in terms of plot detail given. I wouldn't overly recommend this film, no.

Simplesmente perfeito, o Melhor filme de terror já feito desde "O Exorcista"

It's just very boring and not really scary. The acting is fine the cgi and sets are okay. Overall it's just slow and boring so I would not recommend but if you are okay with a slow movie then maybe you will like it

I love The conjuring I love that it's based on a true story I love everything about this movie that's based on a true story and it's scary as crap

One of the better horror movies and a strong performance by Farmiga. The atmosphere is thrilling and the movie keeps you hooked.

A Gripping, Tense and Overall Masterful Genre Revival Like comedy, the horror genre can be a very subjective beast, finding or missing its mark as much do to its craft and execution as it does the particular individual who plops themselves into a theater seat. If something isn't scary to someone – someone who earnestly believes that of course – then a fright flick has failed at its core intent. Then we have something like James Wan's The Conjuring, an artful, confident throwback that succeeds in maintaining a high tensile level of pressure on our senses, crafting vital jump scares, a potent human element and all encompassing technical prowess. This is the type of brave, but stripped down horror filmmaking that forces you to analyze other elements besides just the full effectiveness of its frightening intent. Plus it's scary as hell. The Conjuring completes a modern supernatural horror film trifecta started with Wan's own Insidious in 2010 and bridged by last year's unsettling Sinister. With these films the genre has proved that this is far from a dead, now inherently clichéd area of cinema and this effort is perhaps the best of all three. After breaking onto the scene in a big way with the trend setting Saw, the director took a bit of creative detour in the eyes of most with revenge thriller Death Sentence and supernatural doll flick Dead Silence (which is vastly underrated by the way) before rebounding with the aforementioned Insidious. For The Conjuring it seems Wan has taken everything he's learned – congealing everything he's found to be effective – and assembled them exquisitely and with ample new flare to boot. The Conjuring pulls its inspiration from a case file of famed demonologists and paranormal investigators the Warrens, the husband and wife team who's other journeys inspired films such as The Amityville Horror. Here they are played respectively by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga who are now both genre regulars with roles in Insidious and the upcoming Chapter 2 due this year for the gentleman and Orphan and television's Psycho prequel Bates Motel for Farmiga. We've all seen the painful trope of priests, exorcists, psychics and every nut-job in between showing up at the eleventh hour to save a haunted family but the way they're approached in The Conjuring stands as one of the film's greatest strengths. Though it's something that should be completely obvious out of the gate (but still something those inspired by the Warren's stories forget) this is just as much their story as those experiencing the phenomena. In giving nearly as much screen time to this duo as it does the Perron's (a seven family troop lead by actors Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor and their five daughters) we grow and involve with these nine individuals so when things get terrifying we not only feel just as much for everyone on screen but everyone gets a satisfying arc. It's something so rare in most horror films. Though this dynamic is certainly not presented through these two separate camps – the fearful and the experts – but the men bond over their love of cars and their wives and the women over the unfathomable: harm befalling their children. It's a satisfying an utterly untapped approach for the genre. But "wait, wait" you proclaim "this is a horror movie after all, stop talking about the little girls and get to the scares!" Graciously, somewhat rude reader. The Conjuring is creepy, intermittently nightmarish, tense, gross, unsettling, and in its purest form, scary. This is the type of film that dares you not to hug yourself or laugh nervously in the hopes you deflect some iota of the sensation of primal fear. But these emotions are never extracted in a manipulative fashion and the jump scares are orchestrated effectively through physical objects falling, bumping, banging and generally causing off-putting noises, not blaring, out of context musical chords. The camera work is also fantastic employing every angle imaginable and even some very impressive point of view and upside-down-spin shots. It's easily Wan's best directed effort to date but never one that lets its style eclipse the mood. Similarly his use of sound both in the score (which utilizes your average brooding options as well as sharp, grating notes that call back to horror of days gone by) and practical noises such as a strained rope swinging or a door slamming shut. Again, it all adds to the experience and in eventually pulling of the major frights.

The Conjuring is one of the good horror movies. The first half of the film doesn't look like much, but from the second half of the year, Warren gets involved, pulling the whole film. Overall, the fact that it is based on real events also helps the film, and thus it adds at least a little realism. I can recommend.

9/10 * Super Horror Film. Echt **** liebe Conjuring. Richtig gute Horror Filme gibt es leider wenig heutzutage.

So cliché horrible movie boring no substance at all a total waste of time it s not a b it s a c movie actually

I felt very bored throughout the entirety of The Conjuring. I will not be watching the sequel.

James Wan is a horror genius, the fact that they built an entire universe around these movies is a testament to that. Based on true events, The Conjuring was a downright blast to watch

The polt involves a true life story happend in 1997s . A paranormal investigators come to assistance the Perron family, who experience increasingly distributing events in their farmhouse in Rhode island . There are so many horror scenes that you can’t close your eyes for a moment. The film is set in wilmington, North Carolina. The soundtrack performed by American composer Joseph Bishara . I strongly recommend The Conjuring, especially if you are a big fan of horror films. It will keep you excited until the end . The movie has made such an impact on me that I found it difficult to forget the scary scenes

Very Effective Horror The Conjuring is scary, suspenseful, and an outright blast to watch.

It’s an okay film. The build up is kinda slow but it gives time to establish good characters in Ed and Lorraine Warren. The cast for the most part does a good job. 2 of the child actors are decent and the others are garbage. There is only 1 jump scare that actually got me while I predicted all the other ones. The movie is also kind of dark lighting wise. I watched this film in a relatively dark room and some of the scenes were just too dark to see anything. The plot is good. I understood what was going on and what the characters motivations were. The film flowed relatively nicely from scene to scene. The first five minutes are awful though. You basically get 3 introductions to Ed and Lorraine that just repeats itself every time and it gets super annoying. The opening scene is only there to establish Annabelle for her awful spin off film. The last 20 minutes of this film are amazing though. The exorcism scene is by far the best sequence in the film. There’s tension, the camera shakes but it works with the scene, the lighting is good, the music is good, and the makeup on the demon is really good, and most importantly, it’s creepy. The Conjuring is a decent horror film that provides good characters, a good story, and an amazing 3rd act at the expense of bad child actors, predictable scares, slow build up, and inconsistent lighting. I give The Conjuring a 6/10.

Фильм основан на реальных событиях из практики Эда и Лоррейн Уоррен. Пугающая история Эда и Лоррейн Уоррен, всемирно известных детективов, занимающихся паранормальными расследованиями. К ним за помощью обратилась семья, терроризируемая темным духом на уединенной ферме. Вынужденные сражаться с могущественной демонической сущностью Уоррены сталкиваются с самым пугающим случаем в своей жизни.

Some things felt a little silly, too many jumpscares, however 2 were great, other than that it's one of the best horror movies of the 2010's

E-Value: 8 Acting: 8 Plot: 7 This movie is the first instalment of the horror shared movie universe called The Conjuring Universe. The movie universe is based on the real life haunting cases handled by the famous paranormal investigators and demonologists, Ed and Lorraine Warren and also some fictional stories for the upcoming instalments. For this instalment, the story is based on the Warren’s 1971 case in Harrisville, Rhode Island. In the year of 1971, Roger and Carolyn Perrons (Taylor) moves into their new home which is a farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode Island with their five daughters. A short while after they moved in, paranormal events began to happen starting from the family’s pet dog being mysteriously killed after it refuse to enter the farmhouse until a some kind of demonic entity attacked their two daughters. After that, Carolyn contacts Ed and Lorraine Warren (Wilson and Farmiga) after attending one of their lectures in a university to seek their help. Agreeing to take on the case, the Warrens goes to the Perrons’ home and investigate. Once they are done, the Warrens conclude that their house must to be exorcise but they need to get authorisation from the Catholic Church and gather further evidence by doing some background checks on the land the family stays. From what I first expected of this movie, I thought it is just going to be another lousy horror movie more suitable for a TV movie. Fortunately, I was proven wrong after watching this movie. Although the story is not exactly 100% true from the actual 1971 case, the story is still good and well-written. The performance of Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are very impressive and done a very good job even though they do not resemble the actual Ed and Lorraine Warren back in those years. The jump scares used in the movie is very well utilised. It was so good that I was freaked out many times by these jump scares. Thankfully, I did not scream and manage to keep my cool. James Wan definitely deserved to be praised for his direction of this movie which is what I have expected from the director who specialised in horror genre. Hopefully, he chooses to stay and make more movies for this franchise.

Wan's exorcism on your fears will leave you screeching for more and for less of its thrills. The Conjuring Wan's exorcism on your fears will leave you screeching for more and for less of its thrills. It is basically a culmination of all the horrors that you have been went to and more. And even though it isn't perpetually on its mark, it gives you enough room and range to finds your own taste in this completely stuffed meal. The first act of it is just series of different close calls that builds up to a one big nightmare that ignites the tale when it reaches its middle stage. And then the close calls that have been giving you goosebumps in its first act feels like mere tomfoolery compared to the harrowing images it shows you. One of the primary strength of this haunted house is its illuminating characters that are brimmed with intriguing characteristics that are emerged fluently in narration by strong background tale that makes it more gritty and dark. There is a lot that makes sense, in its malleable mythology, Wan has managed to create logistics that can easily be expressed in a form of mathematics, a straight out home run by the writers. It also has a strong cast to blend it on screen and with exceptional execution by Wan and his puppeteering nature, he fiddles with them efficiently on screen. Wilson troubled with his past and guilt in his body language is committed to his act thoroughly. Livingston and Taylor as uncertain of the reality are convincing on their roles along with the younger cast that casts equally the aspired magic spell. But the show stealer is undoubtedly Farmiga in her easily influenced and supremely powerful persona than any other character in here. The Conjuring does conjure you, its supernatural thesis is much more scary than any killer hunting you or any mentally unstable past stalking you.

Horror is not my favourite genre so it really needs to make an impression on me to stand out. Moody, intense and relying on scary atmosphere instead of cheap jumps this film stands out as a recent success amidst a sea of mediocrity.

While other horror films of the 21st century are hard to watch due to their graphic violence, this films manages to be hard to watch because of how freaking terrifying it is. The pacing is near-perfect, as well as the chemistry of the leads which you will actually care for. While the villain is two-dimensional, it is bound to be one of the scariest horror villains you've laid yours eyes on.

Вы орете??!!! Ужасы где?????Девка и скучный фильм... убить время даже жалко просмотром фильма. Я намного интереснее живу, чем эта нудятина...

The Conjuring is a modern horror classic. The set up and execution of the scares is just flawless. You will care about the characters, and you will buy into the setting of the movie. It's very well written too, with some nice character development and dialog. This is not one to be missed.

I was watching until half of the movie, then I was so bored I want to kill myself. Maybe it will entertain you if you are a frail 13 years old girl or a religious numbnut, eh? The fact this this movie gets so many positive reviews baffles me, turn out there are a lot of stupid people out there who have no taste and will like whatever third rate product Hollywood **** out.
