We have come a long way from The Exorcist. The Exorcist is a slow burn with a big roller coaster barf finale. The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is a contemporary roller coaster and we are blasted out of the gate like The Hulk ride at Universal Studio's. Warner Bros. Pictures made this, and it's a wild fast ride of horror. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are back in this third installment of the series, as real life paranormal ghost hunters, Ed and Lorraine Warren. These two have such great on screen chemistry, they are a big part of why I love these films. This is based on a "true story" of demon possession - if you believe in this sort of thing. I don't but that didn't stop me from having a whole lot of fun. If you are a fan of the first two films - I think The Conjuring (the first one) is a modern horror masterpiece and I loved it. The second one was good but not as good as the third, in my opinion. The third is stripped down and there is little time to catch your breath. What's it all about? Satanists are at work and people are getting possessed by the devil - there is black magic and black candles and the powers of darkness are at work. It's up to Ed and Lorraine to sort the possessions out, save Arne (Ruairi O'Connor) from spending a life in prison for stabbing a man 22 times to death - the devil made him do it!
Go get possessed with this horror thrill ride, now on streaming services.
