If November wasn’t busy enough already (seriously, what happened to quiet autumn weekends?), along comes something utterly irresistible: the very first LDNDOCS Documentary Showcase – and I’m practically buzzing out of my boots.

London Mums Magazine was invited to review the latest supernatural horror film The Conjuring directed by Michael Chaves, to be released on 5th September, 2025.
I’ll admit from the start – I’m not usually a fan of modern horror movies. Too often they rely on gore and shock factor, which isn’t really my cup of tea. That said, I grew up loving classics like Nightmare on Elm Street and…
