Just in case you didn’t get enough fairly efficient and moderately-priced thrills from such fare as
The Amityville Horror remake,
Paranormal Activity, Paranormal Activity 2, Paranormal Activity 3,
Paranormal Activity 4, The Haunting in Connecticut, The Haunting in
Connecticut 2, Insidious, Insidious: Chapter 2, The Awakening, Grave
Encounters, The Uninvited, The Unborn, The Eye, Case 39, The Ward, The
Apparition, and
The Possession, well, have we got something for you—the trailer for
The Conjuring.
Yes, yet another modern horror film that concerns either a ghostly
haunting or possession, and is, of course, “based on a true story.”
Perhaps it’s a little unfair to treat
The Conjuring
harshly (even though it does make use of Donovan’s “Hurdy Gurdy Man,”
which should have been retired after being put to indelible use in
David Fincher’s Zodiac),
but it does feel like the latest in another pre-processed ghostly
horror film, a genre that is enjoying a revival (full of tepid and
watered-down premises) akin to the slasher film craze of the early
1980s.
