At the beginning of the film, it claims to be based on a true story. Whether it is true or a technique, it has successfully planted a seed in the hearts of the audience at the beginning. The plot of the story isn't complicated, but the conflict is created so perfectly that the movie doesn't degenerate into horror for horror's sake.
As far as a horror movie is concerned, the atmosphere of "The Conjuring" can be regarded as a textbook level, and the horror atmosphere deepens layer by layer - the fear of the unknown and darkness at the beginning, the fear of life-threatening, and then, It culminates in the struggle between man and the devil. Movies are very good at using common things in life to create "approachable" fears, and there are also some classic images that often appear in horror movies. One aspect deepens the fear. Although I used some JumpScare, it laid out a better atmosphere before the startle point, so it didn't seem obtrusive.
In the plot, the contradictions between god and demon, family and work, although it is a routine that has been used badly, but the rhythm of the plot development is better controlled, and the two pairs of contradictions are better integrated, and it is through good and evil ( God and Devil) This pair of contradictions combines the two families that are so similar to each other, and they go hand in hand to make the old-fashioned contradictions not so thin.
Having seen so many American bloody films, The Conjuring gives people another kind of terrifying feeling. It doesn't have too much blood, but it still makes people nervous and worth watching.
