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

By	Patrice Jackson "PJ" (the deep south) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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 : )

Conjurer (Clint Hutchison, 2008)

Mediocre haunted-farm flick you've probably seen a dozen times before. Young professional couple Shawn (Big Bad Wolf's Andrew Bowen) and Helen (Dangerous Curves' Maxine Bahns) Burnett need a break from the big city after Helen miscarries, so Helen's brother Frank Higgins (The Dukes of Hazzard's John Schneider) buys them some property out in the country and plans to build them a new house on the site of a Civil War-era shack that local legend has it is haunted by the ghost of a witch named Hattie. While they're waiting for the new house to get built, they're living in an older one on the property. Strange things start happening around the old cabin, but it doesn't seem like anyone but Shawn notices them. Of course.

Hutchison, whose previous directorial work consists of one short and a piece of the laughably silly horror anthology Terror Tract, takes this film down well-worn horror-trope paths without ever once veering off into new or interesting material; every piece of ham-handed foreshadowing we see is bound to lead exactly where you think it will. Having a female lead who can't act her way out of a paper bag doesn't help matters, either. On the upside, the film is reasonably well shot, and Bowen is convincing as a guy who doesn't know whether he's haunted or just crazy. Maybe worth renting if you have an hour and a half to kill and there's nothing else that looks appealing at the video store, but not all that hot. **
