    Storyline

    Edit
    In 1971, Carolyn and Roger Perron move their family into a dilapidated Rhode Island farm house and soon strange things start happening around it with escalating nightmarish terror. In desperation, Carolyn contacts the noted paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren, to examine the house. What the Warrens discover is a whole area steeped in a satanic haunting that is now targeting the Perron family wherever they go. To stop this evil, the Warrens will have to call upon all their skills and spiritual strength to defeat this spectral menace at its source that threatens to destroy everyone involved. —Kenneth Chisholm (kchishol@rogers.com)

    Effective horror
    The Conjuring directed by James Wan is a great ghost story that tells the true story of Ed and Lorraine Warren, world renowned paranormal investigators, who were called to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in a secluded farmhouse. Forced to confront a powerful demonic entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most horrifying case of their lives. The Conjuring revels in great scares well placed. It has a strong cast and an atmosphere of real dread. James Wan has created a fun, scary and beautiful looking movie. The movie is an entertaining old-school freakout, one of the smartest and most effective horror in the last decade.

    Rating: 8,5.
