Reviews [may contain spoilers]:
“If not for the end of the presentation, which does offer a nice conclusion, this movie would be brought to its knees by a plot that’s been seen way too many times and horrendous acting on all parts.” Matt Boiselle, Dread Central
” …at around the 75 minute mark, the rug is well and truly pulled from under the viewer’s feet and we’re presented with a WTF moment […] before delivering a head-scratching denouement which left me cold (not with fear – with incredulity).” Paul Worts, Fleapits and Picture Palaces
“Though not terribly original, the film is quite effectively shot and had me glued to the screen throughout. It is, however, a little over-played in parts with some weak delivery but as a whole, Bind is an entertaining watch.” Horror Cult Films
“This film isn’t bad but incredibly mediocre. I didn’t quite like most of the acting save that of the child actors and Mackenzie Mowat. If there is one thing about American Conjuring that can intrigue you right at the start, then it’s the cinematography. ” Leaky Loonage
“American Conjuring is not a very good film. The acting and dialogue often feels awkward […] The film does perk up during the latter third, which has Darren Matheson alone in the house and descending into a disturbed and murderous state.” Richard Scheib, Moria
” …slow, and filled with needless scenes of bickering but once you get used to all that it’s a fairly fun time. The gore is plentiful and manic, and from what you could tell is all practical. And the ending really notches the action up, and for a little while this monster gets quite intense.” Elliott Maguire, UK Horror Scene
