"...builds the many bumps in the night into a small Hitchcockian symphony of terror by way of long, eerie tracking shots, dramatic silences, and sudden scares that are frighteningly immersive." - New Yorker
"As an exercise in classical scare tactics, delivered through an escalating series of primo setpieces, The Conjuring is often supremely effective." - The AV Club
"The dread gathers and surges while the blood scarcely trickles in The Conjuring, a fantastically effective haunted-house movie." - New York Times
