Conjuring Up Terror

Concept: Expose a horrifying true story about a family requesting the aid of two ghost hunters in dealing with an evil presence in their new home.

Review:
Plot: 9/10 An evil spirit haunts a family in their new home. The family then requests the help of Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga), two ghost hunters, to deal with this menace. Not very original right? Well, this is based on a true story so think again. Even the Annabelle Doll is real! (Although the one in the movie was much scarier than the one in real life, whcih was a Raggedy Anne doll). I reasearched the story and the movie does exagerate some things, but the incident really happened. 

Music: 9/10 That little jingle theme you hear quite a bit in the film still haunts me thinking about it. The actual music is scary and makes the film 2x scarier.

Acting: 8.5/10 Overall the acting is fantastic, especially the children. Patrick Wilson was great as always. I did have a bit of a hard time taking Ron Livingston seriously due to me being so familiar with his role in Office Space, but as the movie got darker and scarier, I got over it. The only person I did not like was Vera Famiga's role. It was kind of cheesy and over the top. She kept giving corny speeches at the weirdest times. 

Special Effects: 9.5/10 Holy crap! The ghosts all looked terrifying (especially the witch, as seen below). The objects AND people being thrown around were very well done. Awesome job effects people!

Entertainment: 10/10 Scariest movie I have ever seen and I have seen a lot. You will NOT get bored. In fact, you will be screaming your head off throughout the whole movie.

Overall: 9.5/10 

WARNING!!!! BELOW IS A TERRIFYING PICTURE OF THE ANNABELLE DOLL AND THE WITCH BATHSHEBA SHERMAN!!!! DO NOT SCROLL DOWN IF YOU HATE SCARY STUFF!!!
