In our three-star review Neil said “Michael Chaves returns to The Conjuring Universe for a film which is always entertaining but surprisingly low on scares. Whilst it adds real context to its demonic presence and the lore of the movies it’s hampered by it’s own lack of a consistent tone.”
Here’s the full press release from the studio:
A gripping and tense, unholy trinity of terror”
