Notes

My quick rating - 6,6/10. When the bar is so high, it isn't a bad thing to say this is the worst of the 3. Then again, after James Wan relinquished the directing reigns, you knew this would be something different. Still this one has nice camera work and Michael Chaves delivers a good looking flick. But it is missing the scares we have grown accustomed to and the attention to the details seems to be missing. In the place of scares is a solid foundation for the Warrens to build upon in taking the universe in a different direction. The flawless execution of taking the true story of Arnie Johnson from the early eighties murder and weave it into the lore that has been created is very admirable. Even though most of what you have learned so far is more or less just referred to instead of part of the story. I am really unsure how it is they found such a perfect pair in Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson but onscreen they just "work" in a way that few onscreen couples can. This is demonstrated as they attempt to prove that the killer (Ruairi O'Connor) was "not guilt by demonic possession" which in the courts just doesn't happen. Though it was a part of this flick, I somewhat wish since they were going down this road and stepping away from the haunted house & creepy scares, they would have given us a bit more of the actual court case. I also thought that the evil protagonist (Eugenie Bondurant) was about as spooky as can be. Her scenes just oozed the fear that was needed. It may have not been the best of the trilogy (so far) but it is definitely worth seeing.
