The Conjuring Reviews

Movie Reviews

• taut and effective edge-of-the-seat horror, delivered with style and an especially haunting performance by Vera Farmiga

  by Sheri Linden [Hollywood Reporter ]

• it is the threat that hangs over everything, though, that creeping dread pushing in at the edge of the frame all the time, that makes "The Conjuring" so special and so difficult

  Review rate : A- by Drew McWeeny [HitFix ]

• a sensationally entertaining old-school freakout and one of the smartest, most viscerally effective thrillers in recent memory

  by Justin Chang [Variety ]

• a masterclass in absolute terror that's destined to become a classic within the genre

  by Uncle Creepy [Deadcentral ]

• a film that doesn't really deliver anything new, per se, but should be recognized as one of the best haunters since Poltergeist

  by Brad Miska [Bloody Disgusting ]

• "The Conjuring'' depends more on its excellent cast and atmospheric direction than cheap gimmicks to raise hairs on the back of your neck

  by Lou Lumenick [New York Post ]
