I loved this movie and it was a great start to a cinematic universe. I truly believe this is next in line after the MCU

"The Conjuring" boasts impressive sound and visual effects that kept me engaged throughout the film. The well-paced storytelling and atmospheric tension consistently held my attention. What makes this movie even more compelling is the fact that it's based on a true story, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the already gripping narrative.

While "The Conjuring" is a traditional horror film that doesn't offer any groundbreaking thrills, it still manages to deliver a touching ending that emphasizes the importance of family ties as its central theme.

10 years later, it is still unparalleled in the haunted house genre.

The iconic thing about The Conjuring is that it doesn't follow the convention of deliberately creating sound effects and vibes like what other horror movies do. Instead, its subtle layout and conception make the horror grow and progress along with the plot. The excellent pacing mobilizes the audience's emotions freely, and the ending makes this horror film, based on real events, even more amazing.

The greatest fear brought about by horror movies is not so much from the scares in the film, but the fact that it will cause you to fear your surroundings for a very long time. Phones, televisions, elevators, cars, mirrors, dolls, music boxes, closets, sheets, curtains, basements, attics, stairs, dumpsters, bathrooms, etc. Everything seems so dangerous from then on. I’m really curious whether horror movie actors ever have psychological shadows from their careers.

The beginning of horror

This movie is the beginning of a long saga of horror movies that, although its quality is in decline, it is still a novel and fresh proposal within the field.
