The storyline of this movie is awesome! I don't know how it doesn't have a 10/10 rating! This movie is very scary in parts and is just overall a very good movie.

Yes! This is one of the best horror movies that will scare you and make you jump! I don't easily get scared of horror movies because I have watched too many of them and know exactly what's gonna happen. This movie has something a lot of horror movies doesn't have, like, a well thought storyline, great actors, jump scares, I-can't-watch-this-moments and everything else a horror movie should have. So go make som popcorn and go grab a friend (because you don't want to watch this alone) and play the movie!

As a horror movie, it had some scares, but as a story, it wasn't that surprising. Though it is based on a true story and I love haunted house movies, these kinds of films have lost their surprise. It seemed like a cross between Insidious (directed by James Wan also) and Sinister. Insidious also dealt with demonic possession (in fact, one old lady that was also a ghost in Conjuring looked like the same one in Insidious) and Sinister, which also deals with demonic possession, features the characters moving into a house that was previously haunted already and those that enter are in danger. So basically, there weren't many surprises, but I wish we knew more about the ghosts. We don't know the names of these demons or where they came from (other than Hell) and some of the ghosts appear in one scene and have nothing to do with the movie. As a horror fan, it does have scares, but I think they should have a new approach to the haunted house genre. I still say The Others was the best of the haunted house movies (though I haven't seen Amityville Horror). Overall, I guess if you haven't seen the two horror movies I've mentioned, it would be scarier. So I'm on the fence with this one.

Seeing it again after 5 years, I realize how important this piece of gem is. This movie defines the horror genre and brought back what the horror lost in our 21 century. It is revolutionizing in every way possible, finally a perfectly written and logical horror story with a decent plot, awesome characters and acting, amazing visuals and an amazing build up play. The movie is so great, that even those less than a few jump scares are crazy good unlike that classical cringy approach to jump scare scenes.
