i finally gathered the courage to watch the Conjuring. and frankly, i was a bit disappointed. judging from the cinematography alone, it was amazing how they were able to utilize long, tracking camera shots to give then sense of continuity in the scary parts. they avoided switching to too many angles when they were putting up a scare. and the result? you end up holding your breath for an extra few seconds that literally magnifies the punch.
i've also been reading in my newsfeed about some people not being able to sleep well as they tend to imagine a clapping sound or moving chair. so, here's the quickest way to un-scare yourself..
---watch the BEHIND THE SCENES.
and i ask: why do people always go down basements alone?
(not the BTS but probably the scariest scene for me.)
not only will this dissipate whatever fear that was embedded by that scene as it plays over and over in your head, but it also reminds us that it was fall fake. worth noting, too, is that the movie was loosely based on the story. but the actual story could be quite scarier if you read the transcript of what and how everything really transpired. (a copy of which can be easily found everywhere on the net.)
and....... since we're on the topic, here's one movie i genuinely got scared off into dreamland. and the best part is, it's a sequel! they're probably riding off the trail set by the Conjuring while it's still hot. i got high expectations for this one! hope it doesn't disappoint the genre!
not exactly the greatest inheritance ever.
