I have always tried to leave positive feedback. I like the idea of making someone feel good when they deserve it. Unfortunately, I chose to leave feedback that isn't good today. This movie was so bad, I just spent the last half an hour searching for it on Google, finally locating it on IMDb, and now leaving a review. It was not scary. It was so boring. I regret watching it.the main character doesn't scream until the end. I couldn't tell if this was a murder horror or a ghost horror. Its neither. Its the type of horror where you die from boredom. I'm trying to post this review, but IMDb wants ten lines. I don't even want to make the effort, but I feel like other people need to know how terrible this movie was. How did this even get a 7.6 on IMDb!? That rating beats Rocky 5. I would rather watch Rocky 5 on repeat for the rest of my life than be subject to this movie again. Please, whatever you do, don't watch this!

British title - "The Conjured" (how highly unoriginal!). A young artist called Daniela inherits an old house a couple of hours drive out of San Francisco but soon spooky things such as ghostly visions and Satanic pentagrams start to appear. She befriends a couple of locals, one being her neighbour John. She thinks he's a nice guy but any self respecting movie fan can tell straight away that he's a creep. John is played by Lane Townsend, obviously hired more for his looks than for his acting ability. The conversation between the two often has those painfully long pauses, Oscar worthy this isn't! At least Jill Evyn (Daniela) is not afraid to take her clothes off for the camera. The sex scenes must surely be the sole reason why this garbage is rated 18 in Britain, it certainly cannot be for violence or horror. The latter is very poor, a combination of weak ghosts and a laughably bad Satanic plot. The pace is very slow, at 96 minutes it surely could have lost some of its dull, pointless dialogue. On the plus side the camera work is good and at the start we are treated to some nice shots of San Francisco. One of the quotes on the UK DVD sleeve reads "I nearly fell out of my bed in fear!" Well I watched this in bed too, only I had a job to stay awake!

This film was an experience none the less. It was truly great to see it take place in the Bay Area.

The cinematography was a pleasant surprise. The locations were super interesting and it was great to see the bay area for what it is. Diverse and BEAUTIFUL. The shots of the Golden Gate Bridge were priceless. The creepy , spooky houses were really awesome as they gave validity to the plot that revolved around the inheritance of such a home.

The acting was well done , and although the film slowed down at times the collaboration that brought this film together was a delight.

Happy viewing and support the indie film !

If you want to waste 2 hours of your life, you should watch this. Otherwise you will end up saving 2 precious hours of your life that can bring happiness rather than the disappointment that will accompany the ending of this movie. Literally I tried to find something from this movie on which basis I could give it a good or at least average review, but this is not up to the standard of an average movie. I am highly disappointed in this. If you don't believe me, then go for it. Poor acting skills and poor directions make it even worse. No proper story line or script. Its seems so childish. A lot effort is missing in the section because of which it couldn't become that much horror, it should have been.

I usually don't leave movies midway just because i respect the hard work put by so many different people to create one. This one was a nightmare to watch - certainly not because of the horror content. I am fan of thriller and horror movies. This one was just a draggy movie and doesn't come in any genre. Scenes were so disconnected and it felt they have just put random scenes just to fill in the gaps. Bad script, Horrible direction and overall just a pain to watch.
