In 2013 The Conjuring, an apparently simple scary movie, transformed horror cinema for the rest of the decade. Here horror scholar Kevin Wetmore examines the film's effectiveness, how the filmmakers' claims of its basis in fact hold up against the actual history of the (alleged) haunting, and the relationship between The Conjuring and the many films in its 'universe'.
