the conjuring movie review - Aussieboyreviews
IS THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY IN THE CONJURING TOO DISTURBING FOR KIDS?
The film is definitely horrific and it will give kids nightmares, but The Conjuring is not appropriate for kids. This very scary paranormal film is very disturbing, entertaining and based on a true story.

Aussie boy's thoughts
The Conjuring is basically all a true horror fan could want: pure terror that doesn’t rely on ridiculous amounts of violence, sex and language. The Conjuring is a paranormal horror film based on a true story directed by James Wan, and features terrifying music, horrific visuals, alongside a moving horror story.
There are several super-nicely-portrayed horror scenes targeted at scaring the heck out of you (which it obviously manages to do)! However, some viewers may be bored by the tension which can honestly get fairly slow, but the slow tension has you shaking in fear. A jump-scare or a big fright could jump out of nowhere, and that’s what usually leaves you on the edge of your seat.
The performances of The Conjuring are also truly realistic, and although your eyes are seeing terrifying things, you can’t stand to look away. Audiences need movies like this to remind them of what real horror is. Without relying on violence for scares, like the majority of horror films today, The Conjuring is an entertaining supernatural horror film.
Even if you can’t believe the fact that it’s a true story, it’s still a totally horrific story for people wanting true horror and would have to be the best horror film of 2013.
