The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It Movie Review

Good, But Not Great



I went and saw The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It the other day with one of my friends, and it was a good movie. Not a great movie, but good.

The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It continues The Conjuring Universe in this new installment where Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) face off against a new demon, but perhaps something more.

The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It is based off the real trial ofArne Cheyenne Johnson. I'm not reviewing the accuracy of the film to the true events, I'm judging the film by itself. With that said, Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga both did a fantastic job once again. I was a little disappointed that James Wan didn't direct this film, but Michael Chaves did an alright job.

The camera work was pretty solid. The music was good. The color scheme was fitting for the film. It was pretty well done on a technical side. However, there were maybe one or two shots I would have cut. They were very brief and didn't impact the film.

All of the actors did a fine job with what they were given. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga did a great job as always. Those two have great chemistry together and I hope to see them in future installments in The Conjuring Universe.

Given that this is a main title in The Conjuring Universe I was surprised that James Wan didn't direct The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It. I was glad that he was involved in some aspect still. Michael Chaves  looked as though he was trying to mimic James Wan's style for the series, but you can tell there is something different. Though Michael Chaves did hold his own in this franchise, it wasn't the best Conjuring film, nor did he push the boundaries for this franchise. It felt as if he was playing it safe.

The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It is a good addition to The Conjuring Universe. It's not a one of the best films, but it's not one of the worst either. I think The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It ranks somewhere in the middle. If you're a fan of The Conjuring Universe, then I would recommend going to see The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It.



final score: 3/5

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No per...
