1. Quick Overview:
Ed and Lorraine Warren must help a family in trouble when they start to be terrorized by an entity haunting their home.
The trailers for this movie seemed really scary! I didn’t know what to expect when this movie first came out.
2. The Good:
Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmigia seemed perfect for their roles as Ed and Lorraine Warren. They have great chemistry and really bring their roles to life!
Hm, there were lots of standout scenes in this movie! I don’t want to give away too much, but there’s a scene where the mother and all of her daughters are in the house alone, and at one point, everything is chaos! You really feel the fear, panic and tension in this scene.
3. The Bad:
This movie has no boring parts and has an entertaining and compelling story. If you’re sensitive to scary imagery, you might find some parts a little intense (however, I don’t think it’s too bad).
4. In-Depth Breakdown:
Performances: As I mentioned earlier, Patrick and Vera really brought something special to the characters of Ed and Lorraine. They really have great chemistry and their performances make the movie memorable.
Direction & Visuals: James Wan’s direction made this movie eerie and creepy – perfect for a horror movie. There were certain parts where I put my hands over my eyes or felt a sense of dread.
Story & Writing: The characters were well developed, including the mom and dad and daughters.
Pacing & Editing: From start to finish, I wanted to know what happened next.
5. Music & Sound:
The eerie sounds and music really emphasized the creepiness of this movie and gave me chills.
6. Final Thoughts:
This movie is definitely worth streaming (since it’s not in theaters anymore)! If you’re looking for a horror movie that isn’t too scary or too graphic, this is perfect. I think casual and super horror fans would enjoy this movie!
Rating: 5/5
