The Conjuring
If you’re a horror fan, and even if you aren’t, The Conjuring has to be one of your must-see films of July. Really anything James Wan dreams up is an absolute must-see, but the trailers for this film are absolutely terrifying. Seriously, if you haven’t seen them yet, you need to go check them out now. In fact, for those of you who prefer not to get nightmares from going to the movies, the trailers may have more scares than you can handle.
It’s another ghost story from Wan, but this time it deals with some paranormal researchers, one of whom is played by Patrick Wilson, who has shown that he can take on horror roles and still deliver a stellar performance.
This year hasn’t been a great year for the genre so far. There have been some bright spots, but for the most part the big horror releases have underwhelmed. If early reports hold true, The Conjuring will definitely have a shot at challenging Evil Dead for the scariest horror flick of the year. I’m not sure whether I’m more excited for this or Wan’s other film releasing this year, Insidious 2, but just know that Wan is trying his best to become THE name in horror. So far fans are reaping the benefits.
