Hello All,
So I find myself somewhat repeating history here. For the second year in a row, I have just watched a prequel to a poorly received horror film that came out years earlier that I never saw. Admittedly with the rise of indie horror films that are not only good, but profitable as well, my guess is that it’s causing studios to take a step back and really look at what makes films scary. To kind of get back on track, the previous film I’m talking about is of course last year's Ouija: Origin of Evil. So how does this repeat in history stand up on it’s own? Let’s find out together shall we?
Plot Summary - In 1955, a group of orphans and their nun move into the mullins house. While there, everything at first seems peaceful, but with discovery of a locked room and a creepy doll, things soon take a turn for the sinister.
Pros - The actors playing the girls are great, and the horror manages to be tense and terrifying. I’m particularly impressed by the scenes they managed to pull off in broad daylight.
Cons - The story feels slightly thin, and it’s also admittedly hard to not think about Ouija in the back of your head the whole time you’re watching.
Final Score - 8/10
Overall a great film. Definitely worth the wait, and if they keep making Conjuring universe films like this, I’m on board.
Next: Gamera VS. Zigra or Wind River - Depending on how the next day goes.
