3.5/5

The film takes place several years after the events of the second installment. Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) are once again called upon to help a family terrorized by a malevolent entity. This time, however, the story is inspired by a true crime case, where a man named Arne Johnson claims to have been possessed by a demon and subsequently kills his landlord.

is a satisfying, if flawed, conclusion to the series. While it may not be as tightly wound as its predecessors, the film still delivers plenty of scares, suspense, and supernatural thrills. Fans of the franchise will likely appreciate the nods to previous films and the attempts to expand the Warrens' universe.
