The horror genre is often underestimated by both fans and opponents. The truth is, making a horror movie is much more difficult than you might imagine. Every year to surprise the viewer, and even more so to scare him, it turns out worse and, most importantly, less often. Each five year, or even a decade, has its own `` Conjuration '' or Saw, or Ring, and repeating their success is not easy. This time, Jerry Bruckheimer, who freed himself from the bonds of Disney, and Scott Derrickson, who gradually grew out of the Six Demons of Emily Rose, joined forces. to Doctor Strange. Why `` Deliver us from the evil one '' did not become the `` Conjuration '' this year? It turned out to be in the script again.
According to the plot, a chain of mysterious crimes takes place in New York. So mysterious that the police officer investigating them (Eric Bana) decides to ask for help from a priest who specializes in exorcism. So, not even horror fans have one word exorcism already stuck in the throat. Over the past few years, so much has been movieed on the topic that it's time for the Hollywood moviemakers themselves to call the priests to free them from their obsession with movieing about the possessed. Even if the creators claim that the movie is based on real events that are movieed and documented, this has no effect. Every next step in the story can be predicted with absolute certainty. It's like watching Swan Geese for the hundredth time.
How Bruckheimer's sharp nose missed this is completely unclear. Until recently, Derrickson did not have much choice, and it should be noted that he does everything to create an atmosphere of something very mystical and monstrous. Constantly slipping false `` boo-moments '', especially often with animals. Places creepy-looking children's toys on the shelves, if anyone else remembers the owl rolling on the floor from the trailer. She actively uses make-up artists to add disgust. And still nothing saves. The movie is simply not scary, which in itself is already a verdict for horror.
Nevertheless, the cameraman Scott Kevan evens out the score a little with dark tones and beautiful, and at the same time, terrible in spirit shots. The movie is cleverly edited, and Christopher Young's music mixes harsh notes into the narrative in time. Do not underestimate the contribution of Eric Bana, who looks not only as a realistic policeman and family man, but also a frightened living person with whom it is easy to find common features. Edgar Ramirez, whom fate also does not spoil, gives all his best and tries very hard to be a worthy addition. Although there are no big names in the movie, everyone plays organically, and in a sense, the absence of stars even helps. If not with box office results, then with believability, which the creators have bet almost everything.
Returning to The Conjuring, on the side of which there was an extraordinary story, full of events intertwined in one movie; past time with its own unique setting and a general feeling of something ancient that goes so well with horrors; and a devilishly scary doll that was so lacking '' Deliver us from the evil one. ''
Derrickson's creation, although skillfully made, tightly twisted and skillfully played, has absolutely no effect of novelty. No sharp plot twists, no interesting features that could distinguish the movie from the general stream, or even an unusual setting. This is still the same familiar, even to those who have never been in it, New York. All the same words learned by heart against evil spirits. All the same concerns for loved ones and their safety. It's not that Jerry Bruckheimer is not Jason Bloom and Scott Derrickson is not James Wan. The fact is that just as a joke repeated ten times ceases to be funny, so a horror movie, viewed more than five times, ceases to be scary. tightly twisted and skillfully played, it has absolutely no novelty effect.
