The Conjuring is a “real” Hollywood horror film based on the possession of the human species by demonic figures. There's a dog who ends up doing the usual thing dogs do in horror movies (they get scared and bark constantly or end up unknowingly dying). There is a doll who ends up doing what dolls usually do in horror films (taunting the human body). There are slamming doors, ghost hunters equipped with motion detectors and UV lights, weird TV static, and scary ghosts that appear out of the blue when you least expect them, and to top it all off , they add scary music and scary makeup. what all ghosts wear so that you can identify or recognize them. When I say “it’s real,” I mean several things. First, and most obvious, the film is based to some extent on “real” events. It tells the horrific story of the Perron family, who moved to a somewhat haunted farmhouse in Rhode Island in the early 1970s. The Perrons teamed up with famous ghost hunters Ed and Lorrain Warren to help rid them of their house of evil spirits (after which Ed began a long journey through hell to bring the story to the big screen years later.) Some of these qualities of the film are quite charming; like the period hairstyles, or the role-playing style and standards of Lili Taylor and Ron Livingston to play the Perron parents. Other claims of truth, however, are far less palatable. There are, of course, real photos and newspaper clippings playing over the end credits. And then, on the other side of the film, before we even get to our so-called haunted house, we have scenes of the Warrens (ghost hunters or demonic explorers) working on other cases and answering questions from the humans interested parties in the conference rooms to respond. their ...... middle of paper ......n (director) seems to mistakenly believe that he can direct the whole film. Based on a true story, he rejected the eye-catching characters, imaginative plot and unforgettable villains. As a result, all we're left with at the conclusion is a bit sloppy and a real quote from Ed Warren warning us that demonic powers are real and that our personal choices matter. Which may or may not be your case. But if the filmmakers cared about bad and moral choices, I would have preferred that they made a film about them rather than these so-called "horrible" events. Instead, The Conjuring devotes itself to the completely pointless task of encouraging its viewers, over and over again, in various ways, to pretend that unoriginal nonsense on screen actually happened in real life. It's not scary actually. It's not even surprising. It's just another horror movie!
