A few jumps scares but an inconsistent tale.
Probably one of the better films in the Conjuring universe. Some of the others kinda bored me, but this one kept my interest until the end. Frustrating that so many of these movies are so similar. The genre seems to have been done to death. This one had some decent jump scares. but a few of the details among the lore of the title deity and getting rid of her were very obviously filled with holes. Very inconsistent writing. Still a decent movie for a cheap scare on a Friday night.

"I watched this 1947 stark, black and white, noirish prison drama as part of research for a film I directed called Animal Factory, written by novelist and ex-convict Eddie Bunker. For years I thought director Jules Dassin was a Frenchman working in the U.S. I was surprised to learn he was an American (Russian Jew) from Connecticut who fled the U.S. during the red scare of the fifties. He ended up in Paris and made the wonderful French film Rififi, which added to my confusion. The Naked City (1948) by Dassin is also a classic, shot on gloriously gritty locations in New York City."

Terrible acting. And I love both the main actors so it was very surprising. Its quite an interesting plot if it had been done correctly. I watched this movie a couple years ago and blocked it from my brain it was so bad. Then when it popped up on Disney+ I thought it was something new I hadn't seen. Boy was I wrong! Somehow worse the second time around. How the heck do plants choose who lives or dies? How did half of New York or wherever survive and the others didn't? Doesn't make sense.... The rating is a 2 because I liked the old ladies jump scare!

"A teacher gave me Flannery O’Connor’s short story collection in the ninth grade. I grew up in a small town where girls were taught to be polite and not laugh too loud or talk too much or show interest in anything that might scare away the boys. It was a revelation to read O’Connor’s work. Here was a woman from a small Georgia town (like me!) who in direct contravention to her sex and social class was writing the kinds of stories that I was not only interested in reading, but wanted to start writing myself. Her bravery and clarity of vision laid an early foundation for my own work."
