This movie isn't bad. I didn't walk out of the theaters. But this is movie four in the "Conjuring Cinematic Universe" and it is definitely the weakest entry.

The acting, cinemaphotography, and production value were all where you'd want them to be. It's just the titular monster doesn't do anything new that we haven't seen before. The whole opening act the writers just copy all the original scares from the first Conjuring movie.

The end result was just like watching a recap from the earlier movie. It was just too repetitive to be scary.
