Our take on The Conjuring

James Wan's 2013 horror centres on paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, called to help a family besieged by a dark presence in their farmhouse. What begins as an inquiry becomes a confrontation with a powerful entity, drawing the Warrens into what the film frames as the most terrifying case of their careers. Wan favours slow-building dread, practical craft and precisely timed shocks over gore, trusting silence and shadow to do the work. It suits viewers who like classical, atmospheric haunted-house horror and a story anchored by its investigators rather than spectacle. Those sensitive to sustained tension should approach with the lights off.
