Entertaining, but in reality nothing like that happens

Rating: 7/10 (8 August 2014)

No human soul is a bad soul. They might touch you or move things, but won't physically harm you, especially if it is a soul of family or relatives. Sometimes people get so scared, they actually think souls want to harm them. Entities is not souls and yes, they do cause a lot of mess from time to time. They do not live in houses normally, they only come if the portal get's open. Souls do not possess human bodies, demons could, but these are not human souls either. Religion has nothing to do with possession, it doesn't protect human from that in any way. There are special rituals that are performed during exorcism ritual, but these has nothing to do with Christianity. Places can be haunted, people can be cursed and people can die, but not from the direct hand of the dead ones, like it is shown in this movie. They would die from diseases, insanity, etc. So when you actually know how things work in reality, watching film like that makes you laugh, because of how absurd some scenes are. And it is supposed to be a horror film, not a comedy. I wish for once they could actually show more reality and not just various nonsense purely to entertain viewers. Plus many scenes are just like in other similar movies (flying, vomiting..) so it is very disappointing, that director or writer couldn't come up with something fresh. P.s. Proper mediums would see and be able to communicate with the dead ones and be able to see why strange things happen in house. You don't have to dig archives to find out what is what, if you really have the ability to see more than the rest of the people. In this film Warrens look like an absolute amateurs, hope they weren't in reality. The only film that is decent in terms of esoteric science is The Skeleton Key.
