The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It

"Yes, these movies are cinematic fast-food, but when the garnishing and plating are this good, I reckon we should at least bother to recognise the effort."

"Hits some major horror notes, with Wilson and Farmiga providing much needed heart and soul..."

"Startling in parts and derivative in others..."

"Hardly demonic business."

"The caveated effectiveness of The Conjuring 3 should be a reminder to studios that treating a horror film like a sumptuously crafted event is something worth indulging in more often."

"This series remain the genre's empty junk food."

"As long as Wilson and Farmiga keep coming back, I hope they never stop making these movies."

"What puts the movie a notch above... is the performance of Farmiga as Lorraine Warren."

"The Conjuring series is now a shadow of its old self."

"The pile-up of supernatural mayhem becomes numbingly preposterous."

"Chaves has none of Wan's malevolent mojo..."

"The scariest thing about "The Devil Made Me Do It" is the possibility that it will set the stage for more of this..."

"[Offers] less chills in general but just enough unnerving bits in a welcome showcase for Farmiga."

"[Seems] about as real as the exhibits in a funhouse. Or, in this case, a not-so-fun house."

"Hits the occasional sweet spot, if less consistently or surprisingly than its predecessors did."

"Chaves takes the reins from Wan and runs with it, bringing a wholly different experience that still feels like a warm reunion with horror's favorite couple."

"Our goodwill and sense of nostalgia for the Warrens goes only so far in this third film."
