Didn't care for it

Rating: 4/10 (22 July 2013)

I absolutely love ghost stories and things that are summarized into a movie based on true events but a lot of this movie was missing from the book and/or blatantly wrong. The daughter Andrea in real life kept telling people "read the book before seeing the film!" so I started volume 1. The film strays from a lot of evidence in the book. For instance, they moved in the second week of Jan during a hellacious snow storm, they even met the last resident in the house before they move in; Mr. K. The clocks would stop at 5.15 am not 3.07 am. The daughters were well respected little ladies and minded their manners; in this movie based in the 70s you can tell the girls are from our modern age with their sassy talk and "oh this house is such a piece of crap I want to let my parents know with the brattiest attitude that I hate it here".
the doll had really no purpose being in this film since it wasn't about the Perron case. So why this "conduit doll" was in there I have no clue. Yes I understand that this movie was based on the view of the Warren's but the main story was about their experience IN THE Perron Household. A lot of plot holes and more of a jump scare than anything.
