Pieces of Me: August 2013

What would you do when you realize you’re not the only one live in your own house? You've spent all your money on a property which was actually haunted and then you have nowhere to go. What would you do?Well, that is what happening in “The Conjuring”.

I’m a big fan of horror movie so when I first saw the trailer, I was like, ‘I’m so gonna watch this!’

The Conjuring is somehow based on a true story which happens to Perron family. They move into a haunted house, which originally owned by Bathsheba, an accused witch. The thing is Bathsheba swears to kill anyone who takes her land. Ok, enough with the synopsis. You can read it here: wikipedia.*lazy me*

What I love about this movie is how realistic and logical the story line is. It started with ‘the dog’-refused to get inside the house because you know, apparently, animal sees and smells better than human. The ghosts don’t come around appearing in the bathroom, under the bed, or on the mirror like typical horror movies.

The scene I like the most is when ‘Bathsheba’ stays on the closet and jump onto one of the children. EPIC! The scene was not included in the trailer so I guess you’ll get the shock and even jump from your seat LOL (because the guy who sat on my right seat was totally jumped and then embarrassingly whispering “Silaka, terlumpat juga sa…” (Damn it, I was even jumped) Hahah.

Furthermore, the story is not focusing on ghost. It’s more to an angry and evil spirit who’s taking revenge. They added Ed and Lorraine Warren character as paranormal investigators, which made the story even realistic. Some viewers might found ghost thing is absurd but demonic or possession scene in the movie might let you think twice about ‘their’ existence.

To conclude it all, I highly recommended ‘The Conjuring’. It’s worth it, I assure you. And next time, if your watch stop at 3.07am, watch out because who knew it might be Bathsheba coming to get you! :P
