In The Conjuring, the scary casts out the spirit of the silly, permanently, and with a vengeance.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Fresh
The Conjuring uses every stock scare in the horror movie playbook for a dumb, yet charmingly traditional haunted house picture that manages to feel more retro than rehashed.
Philip Brown, Globe and Mail
Fresh
Wan builds mounting dread with silence and suspense, lingering the camera unsettlingly long here, creaking a door there.
Cath Clarke, Time Out
Fresh
Wan ... builds the many bumps in the night into a small Hitchcockian symphony of terror by way of long, eerie tracking shots, dramatic silences, and sudden scares that are frighteningly immersive.
Bruce Diones, New Yorker
