The Conjuring

(2013)

Hello Boys and girls and welcome back to Talkin' Talkies With Matt Medina. Today I will be reviewing 'The Conjuring', a movie of which i was hesitant on seeing for more than one reason. 1. I’m not fond of horror movies.... I just don’t like being scared of shit that I know doesn’t exist... Now that’s the only reason, so don’t judge me. But I will say that this movie might have changed that, the reason I say this is because the movie is a good thriller and semi horror. Yet, alot of the sequences and dialogue was, for a lack of a better word… humorus. I say this because the horror movies that Ive seen are the old cheesy 70s and 80s classics like 'Friday the 13th', 'Children Of The Corn' , and 'Nightmare On Elm Street'. At that time they were scary as shit but thirty years later it’s more of a unintentional comedy. Just don’t get me wrong when you read this. I was sweating balls about watching this movie because, you know I’m somewhat of a man and my buddy George brought his girl - friends with him so I was trying to look "cool" while I trying not to make short cakes in my pants (otherwise known as pooping.....). Anyway I really enjoyed this movie. I’ll give you a plot summary.

So in 1971, Carolyn and Roger Parren move their family of 5 daughters into this dilapidated Rhode Island farm house, and it isn’t long before nightmarish terror engulfs their lives. In desperation, Carolyn contacts noted paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren, to investigate the house. What they discover is the whole area is steeped in Satanic history that now follows the Perrens wherever they go.

That is the movie in a nutshell and let me tell YOU, THE READERS OF THE NEON EAGLE AND SO FORTH, go out and see this movie. Whether it be a Matinee or if you have real balls (Unlike Me) and see it at the night showings, you will enjoy it. All of the makeup and costumes are fantastic. There are scenes that will make you laugh one second and curl up into the fetal position in the next. Down below I will leave the cast info and the director’s, the latter of which is new to me.

Thanks for hanging out with me again and if you want to follow me on Twitter you can go to our "Contact Us" page at the front page of the site. This has been and always will be Talkin' Talkies With Matt Medina. Have a good day and save me a piece of that corn for later.
