Reviews

VarietyA sensationally entertaining old-school freakout and one of the smartest, most viscerally effective thrillers in recent memory. - 4.5/5

Film.comWan has marshaled his crack sense of supernatural menace into making his most satisfying scare story yet. - 4/5

The Hollywood ReporterThe handsomely shot, expertly button-pushing scare-fest has the polish and the cast to draw older audiences who grew up on shockers built from performances rather than CGI. - 4/5

Slant MagazineThough The Conjuring claims to be based on a true story, in truth it's based on every horror film that's come before it. - 2.5/5

Dread CentralI truly believe that Ed [Warren], who passed away many years ago, would be very proud of this film, and that’s the highest compliment I could ever pay it. The Conjuring is a masterclass in absolute terror that’s destined to become a classic within the genre - 4/5
