The Ninth Layer

I don't usually go for scary movies, and I hated the last one I saw in theaters, Paranormal Activity, which I found to be really boring and not scary at all. The Conjuring takes a lot of cues from Paranormal Activity and the plot is almost exactly the same, but there's also actually a real movie here, with a great atmosphere that accomplishes a lot with a little. I found myself absolutely absorbed in the moment through great lengths of this movie. Some of the scares were a little predictable but still very effective. There's really not much for me to complain about except for a loose end that was probably left that way for a sequel hook. Whereas I left Paranormal Activity pissed off that I actually spent $11 on that piece of crap, I came out of The Conjuring genuinely unnerved and it took me a few hours before it wore off.

5/5
