Just saw The Conjuring. Terrifyingly badly behaved audience - texting, talking, even taking calls during the screening. I cast you out!


Hope that wasn't any of you!
He's lucky I didn't see him!

No texting that I saw, but the security was pretty agressive where we were. Toilet trips was the major thing
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

Good storyline. Most of the scare tactics were provided by loud bangs to try and shock the audience. Vera Farminga was very convincing in her role and I liked the fact that was depicted in the 70s. Nice freebies. 8/10

I KNEW I recognized that kid from somewhere! The one with the sleepwalking issue is the daughter from Twilight!

I don't actually watch Twilight, but I do know the kid's name. If anyone was interested, she has also just been cast in Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar'.

I'm the one at 0:52 seconds that looks like they're at a stand up comedy show!

(I'm not really that twisted, the laughter and grinning is a coping mechanism.)

Brilliant! This is everything that The Last Exorcsim wasn't.
Loved the period nature of the movie (although why do all the peiod cars look brand new? Maybe it is because they are all borrowed from museums and car buffs).
Clap Clap!

Major gripe is that one of the big scares involving a wardrobe is actually spoilered in the trailer. Fell slightly flat with me having seen that scene several times already.
Another minor gripe is that the doll looks like a demon. Why? Surely these toys are more sinister when they look normal? Clowns are scary after all. That toy just looks like someone made it up. Why would this have been a child's toy?

Hey - loved it, loved it, loved it. Even giggly inebriated students couldn't ruin it. Funny how their giggles and chats dissolved into awe and silence as the frights started getting serious.

9/10 from moi.
