I entered the theater with meager expectations but found that I was pleasantly surprised by this film. Although it wasn’t the greatest film I’ve watched in a long time, it kept me wondering where the story was going to go. I am most likely going to rent or purchase the other two in this serious as I am now thoroughly intrigued by the exploits of the warrens.
This particular film had quite a few points of interest for me, specifically as I grew up in New England and was born in December 1981. The sleepy town aesthetic, which permeated much of the scene dressing, added to the horror element presented. I enjoyed the juxtaposition of the classic American small town and its peaceful nature with the corruption and chaos present in demonic possession.
