The Conjuring

Beware of the clichés! They're everywhere! It’s the family moving into the new/old house with the spooky basement and the spooky toys and the children are in peril and they can’t move and it turns out to be something about witches and blah, blah, blah. I was not impressed. Also, regarding the whole plot point about witches being evil and referencing the witch trials, let’s not forget: the witch trials were an atrocity. They are an embarrassment to American history, and the expression “witch hunt” is used as an example of condemning people without any evidence. So, trying to lend credibility to that? Claiming there were real “witches” in the witch trials? I ain’t got time for that.
