    The Conjuring

    Reviewed by

    Got sucked into this one by the hyped up reviews and poster, promising me a good Ghost Story! Instead it’s a Frankenstein collection of previous movies. Child’s Play, Amityville Horror & Blair Witch mostly, complete with an Exorcism performed by the Chris Isaak Exorcist. I was never quite sure if he was going to pick up a cross or a guitar. TWO STARS only as there were two decent scares at the beginning that made me hopeful it would be good, but after that, the plot defied common sense which only left a melodramatic wake of confusion. It was not scary at all. Characters screaming and flying around is not suspenseful if there is no context! Not really sure who or what or why these demon/ghosts were hanging out at this house, they never really bothered to explain. This film could only conjure up two stars from me.

    There is plenty of context. If you'll recall, most of the reasoning for all of the happenings comes out when Ed and Lorraine are reviewing all they've found on the history of the farm house together (the tape recording scene where Carolyn's voice disappeared) All the ghosts/demons were people who were murdered by the spirit of the witch who proclaimed, right before she hung herself and right after she sacrificed her baby that," Anybody who tries to take my land will suffer" (or something along those lines) I thought the plot was incredibly clear: Ed and Lorraine Warren take measures to ensure that the Perron's are able to separate themselves from Bethsheba and move on with their lives.
