Again, there are many, many movies about exorcisms, but The Exorcist remains the best and the most frequently copied. In The Conjuring, Ed and Lorraine make a point of noting that they will be exorcising the house, and not anyone in it. And then, toward the end of the film, they're suddenly tasked with exorcising a person. The demon voice and levitation are, of course, classic Exorcist — but the real problem here is how unfocused The Conjuring really is. A story about a haunted house, demonologists, a dead witch, a ghost child, and an evil doll is now about an exorcism. It's enough to make your Pazuzu-possessed head spin.
