Same old, Same old.

Rating: 7/10 (10 August 2013)

I was actually really looking forward to this film, and that is a rarity when it comes to horror films as i have just became bored of them. But It just seemed to have an edge to it by the look of the trailer. So i sat down hoping to witness a horror movie that stands out more than any other recent nonsense.
Almost 2 hours later and i was left with that same feeling i seem to always have at the end of "horror" films and that was disappointment. It is a good film; Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are excellent as the Warrens and due to the fact it was based on real people and "real events" it has a certain validity to it that others don't. But it is rather boring. It takes an eternity to develop and although it has it's own unique creepiness, it slowly (in ultra slow motion) but surely dwindles into the shadow of any other exorcism movie i have ever witnessed. I can't really knock any of the actors/actresses as they all play their parts well. I am however not fazed by horror films, i am never forced to jump out my seat, or grasp the person beside me, or scream. There where plenty of culprits in the showing i was in; some even burying their heads in their laps through large portions of the film. So that is an indication of it's fear factor.
If you are easily scared then this will most likely do it's job and as i said it is a good film and although i was disappointed, i still found it an enjoyable.
6.5/10
