The Conjuring is a 2013 American supernatural horror film directed by James Wan and written by Chad Hayes and Carey W. Hayes. It is the inaugural film in the Conjuring Universe franchise. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga star as Ed and Lorraine Warren, paranormal investigators and authors associated with prominent cases of haunting. Their purportedly real-life reports inspired The Amityville Horror story and film franchise. The Warrens come to the assistance of the Perron family, who experienced increasingly disturbing events in their farmhouse in Rhode Island in 1971.

I’ve watched this movie a few times now, and it’s not boring yet. Pretty good for the first film in a series, right?
The Conjuring film series follows the cases of Ed and Lorraine Warren, the first officially recognized Paranormal Investigators, and they work with the Catholic Church. I’m sure some of the events were exaggerated to make the film more exciting, but for the most part this feels pretty accurate.
It somehow feels right to start with the series of events that inspired The Amityville Horror. Tackle the big story right out of the gate.
I do really like the point of view for this version of events, from the perspective of saving the family, not enduring the horrible, tragedy that the movie is all about.
