The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It – No Devil’s in This One

This movie did nothing for me. I wasn’t scared; I wasn’t interested. I never gave one single crap. I don’t know if this is a particularly uninteresting outing for the franchise, Rotten Tomatoes rated it as 56%, but I couldn’t get into it. My voice notes are always a mess of snark and judgement, but […]

Annabelle Comes Home: A Trilogy Comes to an End With a Fizzle

The trilogy of demon doll conduits ends with Annabelle Comes Home. Probably. They trot this doll out in every one of these movies and even IRL take her out for the occasional meet and greet. Girly is the cash cow of the Conjuring Universe and they know it. It’s never safe to assume she’s done.

The Curse of La Llorona: The One They Pretended Wasn’t in the Conjuring Universe

The Conjuring treated this one differently. In that, they didn’t bother to tell anyone that it was part of the Conjuring Universe. Technically, you could figure it out before seeing the movie, but since you basically needed Loraine’s psychic powers to do so, I’m not counting that. Since the Conjuring treated this one differently, so

But Annabelle Creation is a whole different story. From the cinematography to the acting, to the story, everything in this movie just works together perfectly to create

The Conjuring 2: Haunting the Hodgkins

Despite lackluster reviews for Annabelle, the Conjuring franchise continued with The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Haunting. Notably, this one does not start with a recap of Annabelle’s adventures in nursing, but with a different Warren case, Amityville. This doesn’t do them any favors in the credibility department since Amityville has been scrutinized and debunked more

Annabelle the Movie: Too Few Scares, Too Many Dolls

When The Conjuring came out, there was one question on everyone’s mind. What is up with that creepy Annabelle doll from the cold open? At least that’s what I assume justified this movie. It’s a low point in the Conjuring Universe and as only the 2nd movie in the group, it’s kind of amazing that
