THE LEGEND OF ED AND LORRAINE WARREN ON DISPLAY IN BIG SCREEN SPOOKY TALE
by
Bowie V. Ibarra
Many years ago, I read a book called 'The Haunted'. It was probably the scariest book I've ever read since 'The Shining', mostly because it was the true account of the horror experience by the Smurl family and the help they received from the legendary Ed and Lorraine Warren.
That's why when I watched 'The Conjuring', I was pleasantly surprised to see that the protagonists were the dynamic duo of demonology themselves.
The movie starts off with a story of the cursed doll that is mentioned in the aforementioned book. Before long, you get to see the spooky room where the Warren's keep the cursed objects they collected in their mission to help people, also mentioned in the book.
When the Warren's are enlisted to help the Perron family, who just moved into a beautiful country home, the Warren's discover the tragic history of the place and the source of the paranormal activity in the house.
The story itself is top notch, taking place in the 70s. The costumes, cars, and setting was put together well for the time period, right down to a rotary phone! And the acting across the board was phenomenal. While not a bloody movie, the entire film is chock full of chills and legit frights as they deal with the escalating aggression from the ghosts.
'The Conjuring' is an outstanding movie with a great story and even greater performances from the cast that is completely ZombieBloodFights.com approved.
