Good for a scare

Rating: 7/10 (3 September 2016)

This movie was more scary than I thought and I was sleeping with my lamp on after watching this movie. But, I did have a few issues with it though. The first issue I had was the cartoonish CGI "crooked man". I don't even understand the point of him. When I saw him the first and second time I laughed because it looked like cheap CGI and basically like a cartoon. Not scary. The second issue was the fact that the Demon had the child fake a scene in order to get them to leave.. But the entire plan of the demon was to kill Ed.. so why try to get them to leave in the first place? My third issue was that based on the original true case, there was no demon controlling the ghost. The demon was entirely made up. Also Ed and Lorraine Warren only spent a day there in real life and really had nothing to do with the investigation.
I already concluded while watching the movie that many things were exaggerated or made up for flair, like the Demon throwing Lorraine up against the wall towards the end and the crooked man and all. But I guess it makes for a good scary movie if you don't take into account the actual real events.
