Critic Reviews:
The Conjurings have always been best when they’ve been nightmares about terrible things finding their way into the sanctity of a home, when they’ve played on paranoia about domestic spaces that are meant to be safe for a family actually being poisoned. The Devil Made Me Do It trains its gaze instead on the boy next door, and insists that it’s equally unimaginable that such a figure would do something as unimaginable as murder — that something else must be pulling the string. But the truth is, it’s not hard to imagine at all.
Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are as thrilling and chilling as ever, but the latest film in the possession franchise is messy, stilted, and just not scary.
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It gets some points for taking the story in a different direction (it is based on the actual Trial of Arne Cheyenne Johnson case). Ultimately it is underwhelming with a weak plot and lackluster scares.
