What makes a horror film more horrifying? The tag of “Based on True story”. When I saw this at the beginning of the conjuring. I couldn’t hold my shit together. For real.
On this day The Conjuring got released for the first time in the theaters. And today we’re celebrating the anniversary and digging up the fun facts about the film.
Trivia
The house where the perron family lived was used by 11 families before them. They all left because there was some unholy spirit living there. There were 10 deaths of unnatural causes documented in that house. Most of them were the family members of Arnold’s.
Iconic Dialogues from the movie
The Horrifying Introduction-
“Since the 1960s, Ed and Lorraine Warren have been known as the world’s most renowned paranormal investigators. Lorraine is a gifted clairvoyant, while Ed is the only non-ordained Demonologist recognized by the Catholic church. Out of the thousands of cases throughout their controversial careers, there is one case so malevolent, they’ve kept it locked away until now.”
Ed Warren: Well, we’ve been called ghost hunters, paranormal researchers.
Lorraine Warren: But we prefer to be known simply as Ed and Lorraine Warren.
Critic Reviews
“This James Wan scare-fest is frighteningly effective and surprisingly spiritual. But the images it offers will haunt you long after you turn the lights back on.” Plugged in
“Director James Wan pulls all the right strings to create an atmosphere so tense and unnerving that if evil spirits feed on your fear, so does the film” Times of India
Plot Summary
Perron family buys a farmhouse. They didn’t know the history of that house. The house was haunted. There were more than 10 unnatural deaths happened there. The angry and bad souls were roaming in the house and they wanted the family to leave. When the demons possessed a young girl from the Perron family, they decided to call the famous paranormal experts Ed and Lorraine Warren.
A Horror movie that is horrific, not hilarious
The fact that this movie is actually horrific is astonishing. In the horror movie genre, hardly anyone does it. Pick any horror movie about of the pile and watched it with a bit of skepticism. You will be surprised how lame, and horrific, and hilarious they are. 99% of the horror movies that are there in the world are downright lame. 1%, just one percent of them actually going to make you kick your floor with the jumpscares and sound effects. I am not messing around, especially after watching a big bunch of Bollywood crap in the name of horror. Films like Raz, 1984 and make me sick.
I am very fond of horror movies. That’s why I love Conjuring. I think I have seen this review four times. I want to watch it more, but there is nothing left for me to squeeze out of it (4:00 time is enough to make a film not enjoyable). This film has a good amount of jumpscares. Not your typical jumpscare but the ones that are sure to make you pee in your pants (no! It didn’t make me do it). The story is very gripping, and the screenplay is full of suspense and unusual turns. Enough to make you stick till the end for stop. Although, you would want to cover your eyes.
Vera’s Iconic Expressions
Vera Farmiga’s performance is the benchmark for this movie. I have never seen such tremendous facial expressions and acting from eyes by any actress. For a horror movie expressions of the actors are everything. It can make or break the film. The shock and terror on her face make the horror scenes hundred times more terrifying. I don’t know how but she has perfect timing with the BGM and jumpscare audios. This tells us how excellent the editing is in this film. The visual effects are sport on. The acting of the child actors is outstanding. Just perfect.
Conclusion
That’s It, guys. That’s what I had to share with you guys. I hope you find the stuff relatable. Tell me what is your favorite horror film.
