It should have been called the Canjuring

Rating: 1/10 (15 December 2013)

Beyond the horror or thriller genre, even those "based on a true story" which allows or suggest creative license, is the need for the rhythm of a well told story. The "based on" suffers a greater responsibility as within a prescribed time frame they must include any necessary credible backgrounder to enhance or support the basis of where the story originated from and where the adaptation will take you to. So like many stories of possession influenced by real life events perceived, invented or real. That all said, this might as well be a demonic soap opera. All the annoying cutaways, 50 versions of bump in the night followed by the required subject matter experts who blurt out a flurry of facts in the desperate effort to include said credibility. And when that doesn't work or they run out money, enter the now gratuitous Blair witch treatment. I wish I could place some blame on the cutting room floor but I suspect the director was present. Had they of been a hired gun, I am certain they would have puked green and their eyes AND head, would have done a 360 rotation.
