Rating: **1/2
Based on a true story and taken out of Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren’s (Vera Farmiga) files, this latest instalment of ‘The Conjuring’ franchise aims to be more sensational and thereby frightening - but the elements and the mechanics don’t change much from the stereotypical pattern of the earlier series’ instalments. The legendary Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine are now fighting for the soul of a young boy but it’s not as simple as even they imagined it to be. What starts off as an exorcism takes them beyond anything they`ve experienced before, unfurling dark, demonic intrigue that puzzles their own extensive understanding of the paranormal and satanic.
Chaves who has “The Curse of La Llorona” to his credit, puts forward a workmanlike franchise instalment replete with half-hearted jump scares, creaky surfaces, grating sounds and creepy atmospherics. It’s 1981, when the exorcism of the adolescent David Glatzel (Julian Hilliard) leaves David’s sister Debbie’s (Sarah Catherine Hook) boyfriend Arne Johnson (Ruairi O’Connor) possessed. Arne commits a horrific murder and it’s up to Ed and Lorraine to find out the source and nullify it’s power before it can claim its next victim.
