The Conjuring (2013) (6/11)

Sparking a horror renaissance after years of lackluster Hollywood films, The Conjuring launched a new franchise and wiped clean up at the field office. Of the film’s rating, person ddottay commented, “I don’t don’t forget The Conjuring in particular being gory or there being a lot of cursing, but it got an R rating.”

While the consumer’s evaluation is correct concerning the movie’s content, the MPAA’s assessment is a testament to the effectiveness of the film’s scares. While it may appear stupid to the much less puritanical amongst audiences, the indistinct concept of “terror” has been used to slap in particular frightening horror flicks with an R rating, and The Conjuring earned it.
