The Conjuring

Annabelle (2014)

Okay, I can see why some folks might not have liked this movie. It’s slow, and not all that scary until the very end. Then again, if you already think that doll is creepy, this might be a scarier film.

The Conjuring (2013)

I’d been putting off reviewing this one (and finally watching its sequel) because I had vague memories of not being all that impressed the first time I saw it. I think maybe I was just distracted the first time because it definitely impressed me tonight.

The Conjuring 2 (2016)

I liked this one. Fans of the first one in general should like this one. The truth is, this basically is the first one – but set in London with a different family and a different demonic presence.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)

I don’t think I’ve actually watched any of the original Conjuring films since 2016, so maybe I was just too far from the franchise (and too disappointed by the Nun entries?) to enjoy this one as much as I could have. Also a bit too impatient, despite this one being the shortest of the three (though it’s only a minute shorter than the first).

The Nun (2018)

I’m always so sad when a movie with a bunch of people I like is awful. (I mean, Dead Awake was obviously the WORST example of this, and this wasn’t THAT bad, at least?)

The Nun II (2023)

Okay, I did like this better than the first one. Not by much, but by enough to earn it an extra star.
