The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

— If only dark, moody sets, creepy music, and a few piercing screams were enough, this would have been a fine film. Instead, I kept wondering why every lamp on the set was so dim and no one was trying to turn on brighter lights. I couldn't have been the only person who cared not a hoot whether the characters were frightened or possessed or not, and I need to be much more interested in supernatural, paranormal, or demonic stories to have watched this with much enthusiasm. It’s just a mediocre entry in its genre. [HBO Plus streaming.]
