The Conjuring Of Wicked WoMen

“The fairy tale is true. The devil exists. God exists. And for us, as people, our very destiny hinges upon which one we elect to follow.” Whether you follow the christian faith or not, there is no denying that there's an evil that torments humanity everyday in one way or another and it draws us all in like moths to a flame. There is always something innately wrong with the world and yet we choose to be so blind to it until it's too late.

The Conjuring (2013), is an extremely popular reality based horror film that is not for the faint heart. Directed by James Wan and written by Chad Hayes as well as Carey W. Hayes, The Conjuring delves into the case files of real life paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren, played by Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson. While many argue the film to be incomplete or untrue to the experience of the Perron family, the film is without a doubt a classic horror film that has left many viewers somewhat shaken up. As we follow Ed and Lorraine Warren through the plot of the film, we come to learn dark secrets are hiding past cellar doors and what has haunted the Perron family so many years ago. With the Perron family having just moved into a new home, they discover that they don’t live alone and they seek aid from the Warren’s to expel whatever demonic possession has taken over their estate.  The film is truly something to be recognized, for its many victories and faults but there is something so obviously thrown out in the open for the audience to recognize and yet many of us brush past it, and so this deeper understanding of what the film is actually saying is hard to see, but not when we see it in our day to day lives. 

In the modern world there is no doubt that our streets are filled with ignorant people and problems that not many are subject to take action on. Yet as society develops, we start to become more aware of what's going on around us and we start to call it out in subtle ways as a means to get something done without getting arrested, hurt or harassed about it. The Conjuring carries this effect of right-wing christianity throughout the story, the film does not shy from mentioning the devil and the lord because that's what builds its plot, but the innuendos made in the film towards the christian faith, as well as misogynistic behavior, is what leads us to believe that the only thing meant to protect us from evil and malevolent beings is The Lord.

Throughout the film, it is clear that the Perron family is being haunted by a witch from the Witch hunting era in Salem, Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) even explains so after their first investigation of the estate, and this fact becomes such an insignificant detail to the average viewer that we don’t realize it plays this extensive role in the misogynistic undertones of the film. There have been many other films where the role of women were used to portray some evil and so it isn’t uncommon to see it here, with many of the evil spirits being women or mothers who have harmed their own children, it's a subtle cliche and extends back to the Salem references and that the Puritan persecutions were justified in some way. The film makes numerous attempts to show how a mother had turned to harm her own children, even showing a child with slit wrists as an obvious indicator to it. They show this again with the spine chilling woman who lurks on top of the wardrobe just before attacking Andrea Perron (Shanley Caswell), another child who ends up in harm's way. This depiction of this dramatized evil in the alleged witches is why the film's right-wing undertones are so harmful to see, even if you don't see it right away. The gendered stereotypes of women being inherently evil in a way really leaves an understanding that societal views of women and how women are being represented in horror films are just based off of ignorant and old fashioned ethics. While many may just be watching the film for the thrill, it's no doubt that the film displays harmful stereotypes, and while not completely obvious, it reinforces how women are portrayed in the world and that the only way to save “a witch” is by the hands of some male authoritative figure. 

Many believe in their own respective authoritative figure, of some holy being of light. The Lord. Yet The Conjuring reinforces Christian faith so negatively. Just as the film closes up its first pinch point in the plot, it is revealed that the Perron family is not baptized and they are “not really a churchgoing family.” and Ed Warren (Patrick Wilson) follows this up by saying, “Well, you may want to rethink that.” and of course this is a rational statement as the cliche follows in supernatural films, that the only way to expel demonic presences is with some “archaic procedure”, and yet this “Negative Christian promotion” is dropped numerously through the film. The big hitter for this is the ending quote displayed at the end of the film, where Ed Warren presumably states, “Diabolical forces are formidable. These forces are eternal, and they exist today. The fairy tale is true. The devil exists. God exists. And for us, as people, our very destiny hinges upon which one we elect to follow.” A statement that exposes that the only way to escape evil is to choose the right side, or else one is to succumb to evil. This being a traditional ideal that, while now not as commonly believed in, is still an extremely negative connotation for a film to enforce. The Conjuring is not one of those films that makes this obvious if all you want to do is simply feel a thrill but it makes no excuse for the depictions on society and how long stereotypes have been carried on. 

Everybody in some way is opinionated on harmful stereotypes and humanity as a whole, no matter how many good people there are, is royally screwed because there is always this lingering “evil” from insane and unreasonable people that seem to worm its way into everything. Ideas become beliefs and opinions become facts. There will always be this battle of good and bad, right and wrong, old and new, and The Conjuring’s depiction of what is bad with the world truly shows just how damaged our society is. That leaves us with a question of, who's gonna fix it first? 

I'm just some 17 year old kid and lowkey I've just been too afraid to get my work out there, but as an aspiring writer might as well start now, I'm also way to fucking lazy to make a whole seperage web page for it all so what better place than this dam app😃😃

The Conjuring (2013)

James Wan’s The Conjuring - a film that went on to spawn one of the few functioning cinematic universes - uses old-school, tried-and-true horror tactics to construct a satisfying – and more importantly, terrifying – ghost story. It makes you wonder if everyone involved knew, at the time, they were going to succeed where so many other would-be franchise starters failed.

Set in 1971, paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) have encountered dozens of cursed artifacts, otherworldly spirits and ghosts. Although some of their most recent experiences have taken a toll on them, they cannot say 'No' to the Perron family when they come begging for help.

The Conjuring offers many great individual moments that guarantee a spooky time. We meet the Warrens as they are closing a particularly grim case, that of the (now-familiar) doll Annabelle: a doll that’ll give you nightmares because its few scenes play like a mini-movie. You’re given just the right amount of information to be unsettled by its immobile face. The camera lingers on it for the perfect amount of time. You're never allowed to become acclimated to its look and every time you see it, the tension builds. You're desperate for a cheap scare or any kind of relief. You'll be driven nearly mad, ready to scream “Get out! Get away from her!” at the screen. Whether it’s a made-up children’s game that feels real used to summon shrieks from everyone watching, or the tried-and-true “look in a mirror and see something standing behind you”, people who want chills will find no shortage of them here.

The monsters and creepy stories are ultimately in the service of nicely-drawn characters. There are a lot of people to keep track of and some don’t get a whole lot of development but the picture does a marvellous job making you feel for Carolyn (Lili Taylor), Roger (Ron Livingston) and their five daughters (Shanley Caswell, Hayley McFarland, Joey King, Mackenzie Foy and Kyla Deaver). There are no bratty kids or people who make stupid moves to “earn” the punishment they’re receiving. They’re nice people and you hope the Warrens can help them. As Lorraine and Ed methodically gather information and show genuine concern for the family, it’s like the best episode of Ghost Hunters you’ll ever see, and not only because all their tactics actually pay off in a big way.

Written by Chad and Carey W. Hayes, The Conjuring steadily builds dread. It uses darkness, whispers, characters’ reactions and the right amount of mystery to make you understand the terror the characters feel. This compels you to pry your hands away from your face and keep your eyes open to see what’s next. Not everything The Conjuring does is new, but it uses familiar elements so effectively, the new toys it brings to the playground are so good, and the results are so scary it’s sure to have a long life.
