5.0 out of 5 stars Spooky Thriller, November 24, 2008

This review is from: Conjurer (DVD)

I was pleasantly surprised with this film. I've seen many horror/suspense films loaded with cheap scares and boring dialogue. This is NOT the case with Conjurer. This film delivers excellent dialogue and achieves scares that other films try but fail to do. This film sets a psychologically thrilling tone throughout the movie which ultimately creates the eerie suspense. It was artistically done, not the slashing or blood & guts. Conjurer succeeds with an actual storyline, great direction, actors and the LOCATION IS SPOOKY : )

5.0 out of 5 stars good twist-dominated horror, September 24, 2009

This review is from: Conjurer (DVD)

Not quite just another horror movie. The Conjurer is about a man who keeps seeing images of a witch appar in his back yard shed. The people all around him including neighbors, the previous owners, and even his wifes brother all tell him "those are just myths and stories people say to spark interest". But the man continues going through strange occurrences and unexplainable events despite all this.

The story in the beginning is about the mans wife who lost her baby, and what happens when they move to a farm house in the country to start over.

What makes this movie 5 stars is quite simple- there's two major twists at the very end that will probably catch you by surprise, and the eerie build-up in the first half of the movie is quite fantastic when the man continues to see and hear things in the woods and in his shed that he can't explain. The plot builds slowly, but not TOO slow that you become bored with it. It requires a fair amount of your attention span, but it's totally worth it because of the ending. Without spoiling too much, what you probably think is going to happen to the wife is actually going to be something much different.

The writers of the film were also aware what's been done a million times in other horror stories and disregarded them, such as the scenes involving a little boy who kept spying on his new neighbors. There's an explaination for his appearance and it's good writing because he doesn't play the typical "scary kid hiding in woods planning to kill people" that it appears he's going to play when you first see him.

The acting is great all around, especially the wife who's very underrated in her performance.

I wish there were more horror movies like this out there. Ones that deliver on suspense, storytelling, and fantastic endings.

4.0 out of 5 stars EFFECTIVE HORROR OUTING WITH ATMOSPHERE!, December 23, 2009

This review is from: Conjurer (DVD)

With so many terrible horror films coming out, it's always surprising to see one that actually understands the genre. 'Conjurer' won't win any points for originality, but at least the makers of this film have learned a little about atmosphere and that less is more in some cases. The story of an couple who move to a remote farmhouse to heal after losing their unborn child is both chilling and pretty smart. The acting is above average, but that doesn't mean it is without its flaws. The usual "get the H E L L out of here" thoughts will scream through your head, but the doesn't make this film any less effective.

What I thought was really impressive is how the director could evoke chills in broad daylight! Clocking in at under an hour and a half, 'Conjurer' has enough chills to keep true horror fans happy and considering its short length doesn't fail to tell a complete story.
