Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga reprise their roles as married paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in Michael Chaves horror thriller The Devil Made Me Do It, the third installment in the The Conjuring movie franchise. Based on the couple s controversial files of supposedly real-life cases of haunting, the film has a procedural plot centering on a murder that took place in 1981 in Connecticut.
Chillingly, the cold opening sequence promptly propels audiences into the dark demonic world when the body of 8-year-old David Glatzel (Julian Hilliard) suddenly warps into shocking contortions. Moments later, as the Warrens help a priest exorcise the evil spirit from David, it transfers into Arne Johnson (Ruairi O Connor), the boyfriend of the little boy s older sister.
After keeping us all on the edge of our seats in the hauntingly innovative âA Quiet Placeâ in 2016, the film is back for a second act in âA Quiet Place Part II.â
In case you need a refresher, much of Earthâs population has been destroyed by blind alien creatures with hypersensitive hearing, attacking anything and everything that makes a noise. Fortunately for the Abbott family, daughter Regan (Millicent Simmonds) is deaf, enabling the entire family to communicate via sign language.
Evelyn (Emily Blunt), now a widow in charge of three children in a post-apocalyptic world, lives in constant fear, but knows she has to be strong for Regan, Marcus (Noah Jupe) and a newborn baby boy. The family is more prepared and knowledgeable now, though: Regan has a portable radio that never leaves her side, as the combination of the radio and her hearing aid appear to be a frequency kryptonite for these creatures.
