The Conjuring is a 2013 James Wan film about a family terrorized by a group of spirits. It’s set at a secluded farmhouse in 1970 and based on a true story. The Perron family of six has just moved in when they start to experience paranormal events. First, it’s little things, like all the clocks stopping at 3:07 am or objects being moved around. Then there are actual sightings. When one of the daughters is attacked, the mother seeks help from paranormal specialists. Soon, these professionals learn that this is not a normal haunting and that they have now put their own family in danger.
The Conjuring ranks as one of the scariest movies I have ever seen, certainly in recent years. The only one to come close for me is The Changeling. I was on edge from the first sighting until the end. If you like scary movies, definitely put this one on your list. It was good enough to spawn two sequels, which I hope to see soon. But for now, watch The Conjuring and be prepared to tremble.
