"The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It" reveals a chilling story of terror, murder and unknown evil that shocked even experienced real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. One of the most sensational cases from their files, it starts with a fight for the soul of a young boy, then takes them beyond anything they'd ever seen before, to mark the first time in U.S. history that a murder suspect would claim demonic possession as a defense.

Guys ... I think the Warrens were full of shit I’ll follow Patrick and Vera into absolute ghoulish garbage if they’re playing them. I won’t be following this awful director.

I could see where some would start to feel fatigue with this one. The possession/ghost genre has been so oversaturated at this point that it's hard to get excited for these anymore. I didn't think this one was bad. Wan's absence in the directors chair is evident, but there were still some great moments of tension and I really liked the morgue scene and the tunnels at the end. Acting is all really good. Wilson and Farmiga are really what's bringing me back at this point. Decent.

Conjuring 3's biggest issue is living in the shadow of the previous two movies. The moment the movie starts, its apparent this is not directed by James Wan, and while visually it looks fine, all the scares are not scary. The moment a scene starts to get scary, the jumpscare has already happened. No Tension. At least the story feel fresh, True Crime Ghost story works as a framing device (even though yikes its a real story). Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga continue to make real life cons likable.
3	oldgoat	55 _23rd
Parts of this are better than the first two movies. Many other parts reminded me of the exorcist 3 but in every possible worse way. More tonally mixed than the first two movies and maybe worse for it.
3	eCitizen	40 _32nd
Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson elevate everything. Sarah Catherine Hook is super cute. This is a well made movie with an excellent soundtrack, good acting, and reasonable SFX. Unfortunately, the story is all about mumbo-jumbo satanic possession. It has a few good jump scares. It would take a giant leap of anti-faith to believe even the tiniest shred of this nonsense. Mental illness was the real culprit and they added a steaming pile of Hollywood to juice up the fiction.
3	feritdgn	68 _51st
While I miss James Wan's directing skills and atmosphere creation, The Devil Made Me Do It is still a good movie. It is very different from the first two films, the fear is more in the background, but the tension is still high. Considering people's bad reviews, it was better than I expected.

Lmao what u doin there weird witchy lady. No dont leave weird witchy lady, tell me what nonsense ur up to weird witchy lady. Why u so weird
2	Duder	55 _23rd
This was the weakest of the series in my eyes. Not as much fun as the others and lacks Wan's mastery over the genre and having a few scenes that each movie had that go on to be classics.
2	Luna6ix	68 _29th
While "The Conjuring" universe still holds promise for--at bare minimum--decent horror movies for years to come, the main series, or the Warren's, seem to be played out. I may have liked "The Nun" more than the general population, but this one I can't be so kind to, it's a pale shadow of the first two movies and a downright shameful entry with little by way of scares. Maybe Wan really was the winning ticket.
2	braddad68	90 _52nd
Love this series and this installment is a good one, though a little slow in the middle.
2	Seethruskin	4 _52nd
Clearly running out of steam but The Conjuring continues its streak of being one of the most consistent horror franchises, especially for modern stuff.
2	ZachReviews	40 _16th
Aren't horror films supposed to be...scary?
2	PUNQ	40 _59th
As long as it focused on one case, like the Arne trial, it was fine, but it was when it tried to tie various cases together it failed, IMO. There's entertainment to be had, but this was probable the least scary in the franchise, including spin-offs.
2	Dakota99	5 _44th
We're at a point where it's good to question where "The Conjuring" universe is really going, and this is starting to show the cracks and fatigue of what most horror franchises succumb to eventually. It's alright, however it's very straight forward and left with little flare and surprise. Unfortunately, the horror elements aren't that impressive this time around, as It plays into the typical tropes. It might be time to go back to the drawing board, as this doesn't do enough.
2	philamental	51 _20th
Weakest of the trilogy by far. Wilson and Farmiga are still so watchable but they can only do so much with this dull Warren tale of cults and possession. It doesn't help that the supporting cast are utterly uninteresting throughout which removes a lot of tension when you don't particularly care what happens to them. It may be an oversimplification to say that Wan's direct influence is sadly lacking but Chaves certainly doesn't impress much here.
2	Yoshinaruto	55 _32nd
Yet another step down in the Conjuring trilogy. I knew that having a new one without Wan directing would be a problem, and I guess it turned out okay despite that. The scares are infrequent, and few stand out. The pacing is pretty slow, and the story isn’t interesting enough to make up for it. Wilson and Farmiga are enjoyable as usual, but they aren’t nearly enough to make up for the multiple shortcomings. Only slightly recommended for fans of the franchise.
2	ADragon91	60 _49th
Maybe I'm starting to get a bit of fatigue from these Demonic/Exorcism films, but it was just alright. Nothing groundbreaking and plays things straight, but fairly competently shot and well executed effects. If anything, the Warrens are what kept me going from start to finish. Without them, it definitely wouldn't be nearly as good. The weakest of the three main Conjuring movies pretty easily though. Perhaps James Wan needs to come back.
2	luord	58 _40th
While not managing to conjure the spooky atmosphere of its predecessors, it nonetheless delivers more than enough effective scares.
2	Shazbot	35 _17th
I've been pulled in enough by story and fantasy to see the three main Conjuring films. I'd say this is the weakest of the bunch, but Wilson and Farmiga are enjoyable to watch, there are some interesting visual effects, and it has a decent soundtrack.
2	drtfx7	60 _40th
Well written and well shot, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is a decent horror drama with its moments of brilliance. Great performance by the cast and some genuine new scares. My only gripe would be that no one said "The Devil Made Me Do It" in the movie.
1	Kavu	72 _51st
I haven't seen the previous parts but this one worked very well in a proper setting, despite it's occasional stupidity.
1	TheDiceman	50 _35th
Rather boring.
1	LennyNero	70 _60th
No James Wan, but the couple's strong chemistry and acting talent still makes it enjoyable.
1	Mentaculus	52 _25th
Remember in 2nd grade when the teacher would randomly call you to read a paragraph from a textbook in front of the class, and everyone would read with studders and complete social terror when they got to a word like, "conjuring" and didn't know how to pronounce it without the class giggling? That's what watching this felt like. Tedious, with the wrong tension, and felt like they were learning how to make a horror, and this is notably like seven films deep into a franchise.
1	moraesfelipe	50 _33rd
Wan's vision is definitely missed -- although there are some well-directed spots here (opening, woods scene) -- but I think this is far from horrible, despite the evidently bland, bloated and misleading true crime vibe -- it actually provides some welcoming mystery/action atmosphere to the narrative, if we let ourselves enjoy a half full glass of water here. In a way, it puts the main franchise on a corner hard to escape.
1	Riverbelle	50 _10th
SPOILER I’m left confused. Was it luck that she put the totem under the Glatzels house and she needed a child? Arne wasn’t a child, so that wouldn’t count towards the curse…right?
1	Darren	66 _39th
I feel if you're still in with the conjuring universe you're going to dig it. It's fun. It's a little much. Awww their love is pure
1	medikolayn	29 _4th
the devil made me do it
1	sproost	50 _27th
Maybe it's time to move on from ultra-flexible monsterhumans on all fours that skip frames - or maybe with this ghost posessions completely! Jump scares work solely because they're so much louder than the dialog.
1	Yiannos	50 _26th
They waited 5 years for this rote demonic possession story? This 'universe' has been running on paint fumes for at least 4 years now, and the 3rd entry in The Conjuring franchise does little to inspire confidence in its future viability. Chaves isn't a patch on Wan, who is a talented thief at best, and even Wilson and Farmiga struggle to bring much life to the utterly banal dialogue, routine plotting and predictable scares. Ultimately, it is really no better than a low rent spin off.
1	guitarmeeuw	65 _48th
Pretty good. Feels like a high budget horror movie, which is not necessarily a good thing for horror fans. For a non-horror fan, it makes the whole thing a bit more bearable (I don't like stressing over scares). Pretty interesting if you like christian and satanic themes.
1	maxmode	40 _10th
This is bad.
1	Rexlito	79 _30th
Its not very scary but it felt more like a horror/action film. The acting is decent and the story is interesting. I don't think we need anymore Conjuring films after this.
1	slaterman2	47 _9th
This movie was great the first fifty times they made it.
1	Gorehound	30 _13th
Very forgettable, and almost pointless.
