PLOT:
In
1971, Roger and Carolyn transfered dilapidated farmhouse in Harrisville, Rhode
Island with their five daughters. On their first day at that house, nothing
happened and its just an ordinary day for them, but their dog, Sadie, refuses
to enter the house and one of the daughters finds a boarded up entrance to a
cellar.The next morning, Carolyn wakes up with a mysterious bruise and finds
Sadie lying dead outside the house.After the next several days, some paranormal
disturbance occur. The activity happenedone night while Roger is away in
Florida. After hearing various clapping and giggling noises, and seeing the
picture frames fall on the stairs, Carolyn is locked up in the cellar. Later
Cindy, one of their daughters, is awakened after sleepwalking into her sister
Andrea's room—she sees a spirit on top of a wardrobe in the room that attacks
Andrea and andrea is shouting so loud that catch the attention of others who is
sleeping already.
Carolyn contacts noted paranormal
investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren for help. The Warrens conduct an
investigation and conclude that the house may require an exorcism, but
they needed authorization from the Catholic Church and for more evidence before
they can proceed.While researching the history of the house, Ed and Lorraine
discover that the house once belonged to an accused witch, Bathsheba, who tried
to sacrifice her children to the devil and killed herself in 1863 after cursing
all who would take her land. The property was once 200+ acres but has since
been divided up into smaller parcels. They find reports of numerous murders and
suicides in houses that have since been built upon parcels that were once part
of the property.Ed and Lorraine return to the house to gather evidence to
receive authorization for the exorcism. Cindy again sleepwalks into Andrea's
room and reveals a secret passage behind the wardrobe.
Lorraine enters the passage and falls
down into the cellar, where she sees the spirit of a woman whom Bathsheba had
long ago possessed and used to kill her child. Another of the Perron children,
Nancy, is violently dragged by her hair along the floor by an unseen force.The
Perron family decides to take refuge at a hotel while Ed and Lorraine take
their evidence to the Church to arrange an exorcism. While the Warrens are on
their way home, their daughter is attacked in their own home by the spirit of
Bathsheba, though Ed arrives in time to prevent her from being harmed.Carolyn,
now possessed by the spirit of Bathsheba, takes two of her daughters, Christine
and April, and drives back to the house. Ed, Lorraine, Roger, and two
assistants rush to the house where they find Carolyn trying to stab Christine
with scissors. After subduing Carolyn, Ed decides to perform the exorcism
himself, though Carolyn escapes and attempts to kill April. Lorraine is able to
temporarily distract the possessed Carolyn from killing her daughter by
reminding her of a special memory she shared with her family, allowing Ed to
complete the exorcism, saving Carolyn and her daughter.
This movie is quite scary and also a bit gory. It's
definitely not appropriate for kids under 13 or 12. It really depends on how
well the child can cope with horror stuff, like whether he/she gets scared
easily. The movie is really creepy, and I suggest the parents to watch the
trailer of the movie with their kids first, and then decide whether to watch it
or not.The conjuring highlights the power of faith in God and compassion
between humans to thwart evil in this world.
