Though its pacing is fine and it's sort of well acted, the producers no doubt feel some sense of responsibility to the Warrens and opted not to trash their memory by having murders or dismemberment depicted in it. Good taste and reverence, while fine in real life, are not exactly what we're looking for in a horror movie however. Admittedly, there are some scares and a lot of mileage is produced from shadows and things going bump in the night - still, this fails to deliver anything really upsetting. A good horror movie for kids, perhaps - kids who are timid and easily shocked. Do they make them like that these days?
