Hello and welcome back to The Crook Cut! Wowza I truly never thought I would watch and enjoy the film in ‘The Conjuring’ universe but here I am and dare I say, I am officially a fan!
A bit of a different episode as I explore my thoughts and feelings across ‘The Conjuring’ entries where we see faith, love and family bonds being the backbone of each movie (as well as a demon or three :0).
It is important to acknowledge that each of the films make reference to real life cases and real experiences however my comments and critics are purely on the filmmaking and the stories presented on screen. I have linked a few sources below where I gathered my information.
Spoilers ahead but I have timestamped the movies in case you only wanted to check out one or two:
‘The Conjuring’ (2013) – James Wan – 9:47
‘The Conjuring 2’ (2016) – James Wan – 17:29
‘The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It’ (2021) – Michael Chaves – 28:45
‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’ (2025) – Michael Chaves – 39:04
