The Warrens (Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga) are a husband-and-wife team of paranormal investigators traveling the country and solving 1970s/80s mysteries. The original director, James Wan, is still involved in an advisory capacity but his absence is felt in the director's chair, not that The Devil Made Me Do It is poorly directed by Michael Chaves (Curse of La Llorona), but it's starting to feel stale.

Three movies in, plus four spinoff films and more on the way, and The Conjuring franchise is losing some of its luster.

I'll give the movie a pass for having some impressive scenes, but the overall movie is very, very average. On its own, it's a fine horror flick, but that's not the standard that the last two set. If you're a massive fan of this franchise (even the spin-offs like The Nun or Annabelle) then you might get a kick out of this one too, but I just thought this film was a huge step down in comparison. There was too much trying to be said here and I think feel that the film suffers as a result. Ed and Lorraine are both great again here and they share some terrific scenes together, but again, I didn't care too much because the story happening around them wasn't all that compelling. Overall, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It suffers from a look and tone that doesn't feel as authentic as the last two films. I think he's a very talented writer, given the right support. Other than The Conjuring 2 and Aquaman, I haven't liked any of his previous screenplays. I really believe it comes down to who he works with on each project. On top of that, writer David Leslie Johnson has also been hit-or-miss for me throughout his career. James Wan did a fantastic job directing the first two films and while I believe that Michael Chaves did a solid job here, especially with a few very well-done scenes in the forest and hallways, it just felt like it had a completely different feel. That's not to say it's a bad film, it's just that it lacked the look and feel of the previous two. This may have been one of their biggest cases in reality, but I don't think it worked as a movie all that well. It never felt like it was going anywhere until the end. This in turn made the film feel a little jumbled to me. This time around, too many little details were happening during this case. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson have always been the best part of all three of these films, but there was a great story to back them up as well. If it wasn't for their presence, this film would've felt like just another average possession story. Ed in recovery after this incident, Lorraine becomes more of the focal point of the story here. Fully listening to that request, the demon latches itself onto Arne and makes things much worse. Arne, David's older brother, wishes the curse to take him over instead. It opens with David, a possessed little boy, as Ed and Lorraine Warren are once again investigating a possible curse. I was shocked to see it start so quickly. The film opens with a scene that could've easily been the climax of one of the other films. Easily the weakest of the trilogy, here's why I think you can skip this one. Now available in theatres and at home, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is an average film overall, with some very solid moments. I then thought that The Conjuring 2 was possibly even superior, so naturally, I was excited about a third instalment. Back when The Conjuring hit the big screen in 2013, I thought James Wan directed one of the better mainstream horror films in years.
