Since the Warrens were back in this one, I had been somewhat excited. What a disappointment. First off, after a rather.tense introduction, I quickly understood, the Warrens would not be there for long, replaced by a bunch of teenagers.

A little surprise though, those teens aren't stupid. Still, they're not very interesting and put into situations met one million times. The thing is the movie is a stack of boring sequences. Nothing happens. Something moves in the background but falls flat. Something else pops up. And then another one.

There is no feel of danger. No originality. Sometimes there's a bribe of an idea (the colored filter), but that's all.

It finally ends up being the weakest Conjuring installment so far. Too bad for a pretty solid franchise, clearly still above other modern horror stuff.
