Don't call it the third one, it doesn't have a number, it just has a subtitle.
After an exorcism, the demon jumps from the kid to the adult, but people don't realise this immediately. Slowly everyone does come to realise something weird is going on, and Ed and Lorraine Warren need to dig in what is going on, who is actually causing it, and how to stop them.
Because it really is satanism and such and there really is a devil and yadda yadda yadda... No there isn't! We get the actual tapes played, but the kid is just doing a voice. And you know what? In these sorts of possessions, in the movies, we always see the body twisting and contorting... if the people actually did do that, do you know what that would do to their ligaments and bones? Ow! Snapping!
Okay, aside from all that, how is it? As ever, Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga have an absolutely bloody fantastic chemistry! Put those two together in anything, and I will believe they are a couple. And hey, John Noble! Ever since Fringe, I'm seeing him in so many roles. He must have had a great career before then, but I am completely oblivious.
The story itself is rather blah. Yes, we've seen many possessed movies before, and them paying homage to The Exorcist at the beginning doesn't excuse them for doing it here. The crew was apparently tired of haunted house cases, so fine, but this isn't really stretching the format.
I'm still sure there will be more Conjurings to come... and I'm just as sure I will watch them as soon as they come out...
