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.
