Film Review: The Conjuring 2 (2016)

And here's the last, for now, of my The Conjuring reviews : The Conjuring 2 (2016). This time, Ed and Lorraine Warren go spread their Christian love to London, where a certain demonic nun has been causing trouble. Needless to say, there will be SPOILERS .

Film Review: The Conjuring (2013)

Since I’ve recently reviewed the Annabelle trilogy and  The Nun (2018) , and had already reviewed The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It , I thought I might as well review the other 2 The Conjuring movies. I re-watched the first one and was surprised to find it somewhat better than I remembered, but it was still far from perfect. I also found it hard to ignore the allegations about the Warrens when they were doing their lovey dovey idealized Christian couple shtick. Needless to say, there will be SPOILERS .

Annabelle: Trilogy Review

No one likes creepy dolls in their house because they tend to be possessed by evil supernatural creatures eager to wreak havoc on whomever is unfortunate enough to find themselves in their vicinity. Well, Annabelle doesn't care what you want; and if you try to run, her demon buddy will drag you right back so he can eat your SOUL! I've watched all 3 Annabelle movies and here are my reviews. Warning: SPOILERS .

Film Review: The Nun (2018)

I've watched all the The Conjuring movies, of which I've reviewed The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It , plus most of the spin-offs. I'm not a fan of the main series, and don't find it particularly scary overall. A couple of the prequels, however, were more enjoyable, even if they're not exactly cinematic masterpieces. One of those is The Nun (2018), which I've recently re-watched. Warning: SPOILERS . Father Burke and Sister Irene, a novice who used to have visions, are sent by the Vatican to investigate if the Abbey of Saint Carta in Romania is still holy. Once there, they're helped by Theriault, aka Frenchie, who was the one who found the body. The nuns are less cooperative, and there's a dark presence haunting the Abbey... The movie opens with a pair of terrified nuns, Sisters Jessica and Victoria, in an underground corridor filled with wooden crosses that leads to a door with the inscription 'God ends here'. This perfectly encapsulates th

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

I must confess that I'm not much of a fan of the  The Conjuring  series. In theory, these movies  should  be scary, but they don't quite work for me. The only thing that stood out for me were the leads - demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren - and that relationship has now been tainted by some  very disturbing accusations . Yes,  The Conjuring  series is a work of fiction, but still. Despite everything, I decided to give  The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It  (2021) a try. Since I'm writing a review, it's clear it didn't go well... Warning: SPOILERS . The plot is promising: there's someone going around summoning demons and cursing people and only demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren can stop them! It all begins with the exorcism of an 8 year old boy, David Glatzel. He's been exhibiting some very strange behaviour, though apparently not strange enough that his sister's boyfriend, Arne, can't take him to his room alone and stay there chatting about wh

I try to avoid writing about politics because that tends to end in yelling and unwanted attention. However, I just couldn't ignore Peter Thiel's views on the upcoming US election.
