I have no idea how this has such a high rating (at the time of me doing this)

I found it totally pointless, didn't like the characters, you don't see mr wolf until the final 15 minutes and because the film is noir and so dark, you barely see mr wolf once onscreen anyway. 'By Night' is a more appropriate title.

The unseen wolfman transformation is a bit of a cop out... but I suppose we all know trying to out-do the transformation from An American Werewolf In London is always going to be hard!!

I honestly feel the look of the Wolfman from the 1940's was much better than this Wolfman.

Groot's cousin (you'll see what I mean) is just pointless... Overall a missed opportunity really.

Yes... I said it, I do think this remake is better than the original.

Some movies should not be remade but, some should as standing the test of time can be hard, this is proof of that. The CGI is really good, the film does lose it's way at times and has some silly moments. I personally do not think it's scary, but it can be creepy and I love the atmosphere at times. I originally thought Pennywise sounded like Scooby Doo.... (I managed to get past that) however Pennywise is great in this remake and definitely has better on screen presence than the original. I would prefer to watch this version as it is less silly than the original and just feels better. Which is why I stand by stating it's better then the original.

I come back to watching The Conjuring every Autumn. I would definitely recommend for anyone who likes a good haunting story. Obviously you can watch this film any time of the year, but if you're looking for an Autumn / Halloween horror I would go for this. It isn't a Halloween themed film with jack o' lanterns and all that but it is a great film for Fall. The atmosphere is great, the sacred are good, the story is good with no strange outta world twist or anything like that, the acting is fair.

If you are aware of the Warrens and the stories this will make it even better for you. The Conjuring universe has become classic horror watching. With this movie being the best of them all!
