American Conjuring

"Bind" and "American Conjuring" are the same film. A family takes possession of a haunted house and vice versa. Ghost film turns into a slasher and Darren Matheson's character turns the movie into a stinker. The acting was bad and the drama written for the couple didn't make any sense...and speaking of no sense what was the do-over? Where did that suddenly come from? The other stupid twist would have been better if the audience knew about it, which would have explained why "dad" had a "stick up his.." and mom wasn't much better. . Then there is the moody 17 year old daughter (Mackenzie Mowat) who hates her step-dad and half-sister. She is not allowed to say the "S" word, but has a smart phone cover with the "F" word spelled out. Go figure that parenting. Would have been decent if they had been able to script a better character for Ben without the cliché lines. Guide: F-word. brief sex. Some gore with sledge hammer, knife, drill, and ax.

Easily gotta say that the worst part about this was the acting. It was really sad. Too forced and just...BAD. the real horror in this movie is the horrifying thought of realizing that you have wasted your time on it. story line...seen in so many movies before, no special twists or anything like that, so you are stuck between pushing terrible acting thoughts and knowing what's going to happen anyway. I guess that's a good one when you are really bored or can't be bothered about what's on the screen. BAD. nothing else to say really.

Dont believe the parents guide because there is a very obvious sex scene in it. They have clothes on but I wouldnt let my kids watch it. Very misleading, because of that I wish I could give it a 0.

This movie can be summed up in one line: If the family owns a dog, kill it. Yep, that's the quality fill it is. The dog barks, so the guy chops it up with an ax (off camera), with barely anyone giving it a second thought. There was absolutely no attempt to build tension, develop characters, or create an atmosphere. The movie opens with the murders at the orphanage, then does a quick cut to a reporter telling all, followed by the family buying the house. Why? At least in the Amityville Horror, the family knew that they were gettig a deal because of tragedy. Even when the girl comes right out and says, "you don\t get a house for the price Ben is paying," the stupid parents don't think a thing about it. All of a sudden, there is bloodletting everywhere. And not even good, schlock horror bloodletting. After a while there is even a "Christine" moment, when headlights come on accompanied by the same musical sting as in Christine. Ugh. Finally, the twist ending doesn't work. Did the house decide it made a mistake and hit the rewind button? Did time really rewind, meaning everyone (including the dog) was still alive? Or did the house just say, "Okay, Ben, you had your chance and you went nuts too fast on me. Let the girls play now" and incapacitate him long enough for them to kill him? Either way, except for the dog, I don't think I really care. It was bad. Just bad. If you can't catch it on free Pluto TV, like I did, then don't try to catch it at all. Even a Red Box rental is too much to pay.

This was the least thought out storyline ever. Completely illogical timeline and felt like it was being made up as it was happening. I can't believe this got funding to be produced.

I made it 25 minutes and It has the worst acting I have ever seen. They try to make the teenager into the bad guy, Her so called parents were horrible. The guy isn't hear dad and they get pissed that she won't call him dad. She has a dad, her parents are just divorced. I hated every character in this movie, don't waste your time. I decided to finish the movie and it didn't get any better. I found myself wondering why all the characters were so angry and hateful. Bad movie with bad people.

One of the worst pieces of "acting" I have ever seen comes from the father in this movie. He was hideously awful as an actor. Every one of his lines came off like he was reading the script right in front of his eyes. Not only him, everyone's lines in this movie were terrible. No one talks like this. Why do movie writers insist people talk like people in a soap opera? Like the mother alone saying: "Oh, crap I forgot the washing detergent" or the daughter alone saying "this phone never gets signal". And why the hell was the mother so insistent her daughter call her step-father Dad? She's 16, she can call him whatever she wants and Dad wouldn't be one of them. Stupid idiotic movie. Saving grace was the scares from the ghost woman, but they don't save what is a vomit-ridden crap-fest of lazy dialogue, terrible acting and an hour and a half of my life worse off than before I started watching.

Only 20 mins in and I'm ready to gouge my eyes out, shove pens in my ears, and then slit my wrists and throat. Ok so the last part was stretching it... Wow, where to begin. Might as well start with the acting, because it's like the singer's voice in a band, it'l make or break it. Yeah this acting shattered it. Just awful...I mean... do they audition these people? Do they just say, "Who's willing to work for free?" K everyone who raised their hand, you're hired! There's a little 3 min news story at the beginning of the movie laying out the history and bad things that happened. Best and only good part of the movie. Laid out a descent horror story. Boy did it fail to measure up. Ok so, I'm gonna finish suffering through this so none of y'all who are smart enough to read reviews before watching movies, can be spared the torture this movie spews out. I'll come back at the end to update and finish this review.
