I love this movie so much
Sadly Over-hyped
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
"Conjurer" didn't strike me as a movie that would turn out to be overly impressive, given the somewhat generic cover of the movie. However, covers can be deceiving as we all know, so I still decided to give it a chance and sat down to watch it.I must say that I was actually entertained by the storyline portrayed in "Conjurer", as it turned out to be interesting enough. And it also had some good acting performances to help the movie along as well.The story in "Conjurer" is about Shawn Burnett (played by Andrew Bowen) and Helen Burnette (played by Maxine Bahns) whom move to a quiet, idyllic rural house after having lost a child during pregnancy. This homestead was supposed to be a place of recovery and rest, but it turns out that there is something ancient and terrible residing on these lands.It was also the fact that the characters in the movie were well-detailed and fleshed out on the screen that helped added depth to the storyline.There is a good amount of creepy moments throughout the course of the movie, but nothing that really climaxes into something downright scary or disturbing. A feat which the movie needed.The acting in "Conjurer" was good, and especially Andrew Bowen stood out here with his performance. I am not overly familiar with his work, but he did a great job in "Conjurer". Maxine Bahns also did hold her own quite well.The special effects in the movie were adequate. Don't expect a lot of special effects, and don't expect them to be a Hollywood galore of impressive CGI and visual effects. The effects in "Conjurer" worked well enough for their intended purposes.However, for a horror / thriller movie then "Conjurer" turned out to be a generic one. It didn't really bring anything new to the genre, and everything here had essentially been seen before."Conjurer" scores a mediocre five out of ten stars rating from me.
Yes, we have watched this story before. A man has to save his family from a - real or imagined - supernatural threat. If you have read or watched a lot of horror stories, the plot is quite foreseeable. For instance, it was obvious when Shawn received the gun, and we got to know about his terrible childhood memory, that the history was going to repeat itself somehow. I also realized very early who the little boy really was (recognized him from the family photo).Still, there was a doubt about what was going on until the very last scene - which is good and unusual in movies. The acting was excellent, and there were also several good scares. You learn a bit about witch lore as well - this had demanded some research for the movie-makers. All in all, I think it was one of the best movies on the witch theme, that I have ever seen!
Halfway through I pulled the DVD out of the machine, stamped on it, ground it under my heel then lit it on fire. then it proceeded to get up and try to escape into a crack in the wall. I hit it hard with a hammer a couple of times then sprayed it with a can of raid. I'll be damned if the thing didn't make it into the wall anyway. Now I'm going to have to move out of my apartment, because I'm sure its in the wall laying eggs, and my apartment will soon be overrun with copies of this DVD. I'm wondering if I should warn my neighbors, or just soak the place with petrol when I leave and toss in a road flare. I'm afraid if I warn someone they might not abandon all their possessions and a copy or two might survive, eventually ruining all existence for everyone on the planet. Might be best to call in an air strike or nuke it from orbit just to be sure.
Creepy film with some nice twists and turns in the plot, and even in the ending. I normally can see where these movies are going, and this one managed to surprise me.I absolutely loved this movie. It has strong actors with performances that are a pleasure to watch. I also appreciated the lack of gore and nudity in the film. Lately, too many sloppy productions have attempted to mask their short comings with excessive gore or gratuitous nudity, this picture doesn't go that route, it doesn't need to.If you're a fan of Hitchcock mystery thrillers or in the mood for a psychological thriller, please give this movie a shot
