The Conjuring 3 Review

The Devil Made Me Do It

By Manish Kumar shawPublished 5 years ago 3 min read

Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren take on one of the most sensational cases of their careers after a cop stumbles upon a dazed and bloodied young man walking down the road. Accused of murder, the suspect claims demonic possession as his defense, forcing the Warrens into a supernatural inquiry unlike anything they've ever seen before.



The Conjuring 3 Review

This one’s been in the works for a couple years now, so it’s not entirely surprising to find out that The Conjuring 3 looks a little bit like what it’s trying to be. I wouldn’t say this is the actual worst third film in a franchise, but it’s not an entirely good one, either. The Conjuring 3 is the third film in The Conjuring franchise, following 2013’s The Conjuring and 2016’s The Conjuring 2. It was directed by James Wan, the “Chosen One” and possibly the “Wizard of Wan,” who first began his career as a low-budget horror filmmaker in 1999 with 2002’s I Bite the Face. After making his name with the fantastic Furious 7 in 2015, Wan has gotten off to a bit of a shaky start.



The Good

For the most part, The Conjuring movies are not for the faint of heart. The images of terror created by the very real specters the films explore and the foreboding fear they instill are not to be taken lightly. In many respects, these films don't merely terrorize viewers. These are horror classics in the same vein as The Exorcist or Rosemary's Baby, representing an elevated version of the genre. In these movies, things do not end well for the characters, and the only question is if audiences will be left alive when all is said and done. While these are films based in the real world and not fantasy, the events they depict are as hard to believe as the characters they put on screen.



The Bad

While the main thrust of the plot is faithful to the form of the previous films, there are moments where it strays a little too close to a previous film in terms of its tonal shift. This is partially due to the fact that The Conjuring 2 took place in 2003, meaning that we've jumped from 2004 to 2018, and also some original action set pieces are omitted for reasons that remain unclear, leading to what feels like needless padding of the narrative. This isn't so much a matter of poor story structure, but rather the ending too closely resembling The Conjuring 2's climax. The good news is that it's not very long, and the tone of the movie remains consistently strong, no matter how many paranormal sight gags or jump scares it throws at the audience.



The Spooky

Is it just me or does everything that comes out of James Wan's mouth sound terrifying? This guy was easily the scariest guy onscreen in any of the Conjuring movies, and now he's back for The Conjuring 3, but if you recall, this is the guy who directed Insidious and Conjuring 2, so obviously he knows his stuff when it comes to ghosts and demons. The trailer for The Conjuring 3 looks like it's back in the same vein, with plenty of demons, vampires, and clowns in the mix, so it's no surprise this one looks like it's going to be just as terrifying. The Good I know this movie is going to get graded on a curve, but I can't imagine that it could get any higher than The Conjuring 2.

The moving picture ends with ED showing French region a building he inbuilt their garden, that additionally is a sweet tribute to the late French region Warren WHO passed on to the great beyond before the moving picture went into production. The Conjuring: 3 The Devil made me do it is out currently in cinemas and is additionally obtainable to look at on HBO easy lay in the U.S.
