Here's what the critics are saying:
As the critic in charge of putting together this publication's summer movie preview, I barely considered "The Conjuring" worthy of mention. That was clearly a mistake. I'd be shocked if we see a better horror film in 2013. — Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle

"The Conjuring" is not exactly "The Exorcist," still the scariest movie ever, but it gets the jittery job done. Its 1970s setting means no modern ghost-hunting tools, and its low or modest budget seems apparent, but that gives it an old-fashioned vibe. — Barbara Vancheri, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
