The item description states blu ray, DVD, and digital versions of the movie are included. The DVD and digital copy WERE NOT included. The actual product shipped was not what was advertised or pictured. Very disappointing Best Buy.

Yeah so this was in the five dollar bin, no brainer, right? Well turns out I already had THE SAME EXACT COPY AT HOME! So now I have two, but I'm going to give this one as a gift and finally watch the one I originally bought at Best Buy. This version has some cool BTS documentaries with the people actually involved in the real life story. If you don't know much about the now-deceased Warrens' you are missing out. Great film, great series.

i loved 80s creature features and slashers and transitioned into watching darker horror movies thay heavily focused on metaphors about social issues or personal matters. not that those movies are bad but as i got older i missed the fun tension filled horror movies of my youth and it felt like conjuring was a great revival of that kind of movie. highly recommend.

I thought the movie was great and it provided good scares throughout yet you know whats gonna happen at certain times. So many in this series now, "Conjuring" "Annabelle", "Insidious", A new one hits theater's next month so i'm counting 9 all total. "Annabelle Goes To Prom or "Buys A Kia" or something like that. Then it's "Annabelle vs Freddy, then the musical..."Annabelle Joins The Rockettes"...awww, can't wait...

Still my favorite of the conjuring movies. When you get a blu Ray player, you will wish you had never gotten a regular DVD player. The colors pop out at you with such vividness to your eyes. Really. Watching this on our 65 inch Tv brought the movie to life even more. Love it!

This is one of those must own horror movies in your collection. From the director that brought you insidious. This is one of those movies that gives you the creeps when you’re watching it late at night. The fact that it really happened adds to the chill factor!

Excellent thriller/horror story. Definitely worth watching, but it always irks me when Hollywood doesn’t do a true story justice by embellishing & not budgeting for realistic special effects with the technology available today. All the same, an incredible true story that will give you the ‘willies’.

James Wan created an awesome horror movie of the Warren team investigating the horrors that a family in Connecticut experiences after moving into a seemingly nice home. Highly recommend to any paranormal horror fan.

This is one of the best horror movies to come along in well over a decade. The tension rises to a powerful conclusion. Great horror movie. They need to make more horror movies like this with genuine scares.

I was thoroughly impressed by this movie. Supposedly this did insanely well when they ran this through test screenings and I can see why. The Conjuring had a lot to offer and didn't try to fill its running time by checking off every box on the horror movie cliche checklist. There are some tried and true formats here to be sure, but they're fairly well executed. The movie makes use of a lot of jump scares, so if you're irritated by those I would probably wait until this hits the rental sites. They're all done in good fun and are for the most part genuinely spooky, although I'll say that the jump scares were far more effective in the beginning of the movie.
The acting was excellent in this and whomever thought to hire Lili Taylor should get a huge pat on the back. She's probably the strongest actor in this piece, second only to Vera Farmiga. The ladies genuinely rocked this movie fairly hard. The guys were good as well, but let's not pretend that they were there for anything other than to be played off the women.
Now as far as story goes, this was decent. It's actually a fairly simplistic story line when you get down to it. There wasn't a lot of gussying up of the subject matter, although there was somewhat of a side story that surrounded the Warrens' daughter, the demon, and a doll from the beginning of the movie. I do have to admit that I'm not sure what I felt about that part. The doll's acquisition was shown at the beginning of the movie and largely had nothing to do with what the Perrons went through, except for showing up in one scene. The scare surrounding this scene was decent, but I kind of feel that it was one of the two weakest scenes in the film. The other weakest scene? I hate to say it, but it was the showdown in the end. I liked it well enough and it was entertaining, but it also felt slightly anticlimactic. Most viewers won't feel let down by the scene, although my friends and I all agreed that although this was an incredibly strong horror movie, the ending did sort of leave a little to be desired in comparison with the rest of the film.
In the end though, the concerns are all fairly minor quibbles. This will still be an excellent film to go see in the theaters and something that I'd recommend for horror fans- especially those who love the older stuff. The director took great pains to make the opening and ending feel like something you'd have seen in the older days of horror, which I greatly appreciated. I'd say that this film is good enough to where it's something I'd outright own when it releases on DVD and assuming that the sequel will be as well done as this was, I'll be there on the opening weekend for whatever other movie they make.

Another Hollywood true story with jump scares and strong story. The scary moments will give you chills and a true cinematic atmospheric film that you can watch every Halloween season.

A very entertaining and frighten movie, in my opinion this is one of the best horror movies in the last decade, James Wan is a master in how to create suspense, Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are very good as the Warren couple. If you are a fan of horror, you cant miss this movie.

I guess this is the first in the series of these movies. Although its not particularly scary, its good at giving you the creeps and developing the story line for all the movies that follow. Price was right!
