[SAGA45]

Spoiler!

the tie-in to the Conjuring --- I still wish they'd had shown what Lorraine Warren saw when looking into the possessed dude's eyes.

Other than that, Wan's jump scares are becoming expected...he even used the exact same moving wall shadow scare from the Conjuring 2.

I'll start off by saying that if you're one of those stuffy "that didn't make sense" movie goers, then this isn't for you. But i enjoyed it.

The movie has all your typical jump scare cliches:

1. The movie is entirely filmed under a "pale moon light" aka, the movie is dark and filmed with shades or blues and grays. Yeah, you know what i mean.

2. The characters routinly make dumb decisions. You know, the typical, "Hey something evil and scary is happening. Everyone split up!" That kinda shit.

3. There a couple real eye roll moments.

But......

1. Excellent jump scare movie. That's what this movie is. It's a jump scare movie and it does it fairly well.

2. Excellent use of shadows and veils. The church/Nun thing gives it some real creepy vibes. Cinematography was nothing original, but it served this movie well.

In summation, this is one of those movies you took your woman to back when you were 19. The story line is full of holes, there's some scenes that are eye roll worthy, jump scares galore with some dark, brooding imagery. It's your token Hollywood horror movie, but it's really good at being that. For what it is, a cheap thrill, it did a great job. If you're a fan of "The Conjuring" movie universe, i highly advise you see this one.
