I can't believe it took me 7 years to watch this film.
The story of Ed and Lorraine Warren who are demnologists that investigate supernatural and paranormal phenomena. In an opening we are also introduced to Annabelle (more of her to come) a possessed doll and how the Warren's dealt with her.
The film depicts the events from the Perron family haunting. A family who bought an old farm house only to find they may not be alone.
This is beautifully shot, the dark looks so good, cinematography is amazing as is the use of sound. From the score to the use of voices and creaks that populate the house the feeling of "something " been there is constant.
James Wan shows he is a master of his craft the film delivers on all the ghost story/haunted house/ possession vibe it's going for.
Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are very likeable leads as the Warren's

Who would think clapping is scary?

I found this story quite refreshing after reading a deep and complex novel, and it was what I needed at this time. This is “don’t judge a book by its cover” kind of situation because the cover does not look very appealing, but it does carry an interesting story. I really liked Veronica and Sebastian in this story, they were very realistic and just generally sweet people. I really enjoyed the narrative as well. I liked that the author discussed family issues and grasped a very nice angle to utilise it for this story. I really enjoyed the little surprises which the author had to offer as well. The writing style was pleasant and easy to read, and the ending was very unexpected but completed this story very nicely.

So, to conclude, if you like ghost stories with a hint of romance, do give this story a go, and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did

2003 was billed as the year of the Matrix, with this film, the Animatrix manga, the computer game 'Enter the Matrix' and The Matrix Revolutions all released within the span of that single year.

Most of which, nearly 20 years later, have largely been forgotten, with 'the Matrix sequels' almost becoming a by word for disappointing sequels.

Re-watching this back, it's actually not all bad: yes, there is an element of truth in the charge that this mid entry is over pretentious - especially in The Architect scenes - and that Niobe/Ghost scenes largely exist only to tie into the computer games - but there is also plenty to enjoy here - this is the film that has the 'burly brawl', the Merovingian chateau fight scene, the freeway chase and Neo going full-on Superman!

(And, yes, I used to think that, at the end, they were still in The Matrix, until Revolutions came out)
