I don't even know how many times I've watched this now but James Wan truly changed the horror game with this one. I remember I was still working at Regal at the time this came out and there was a lot of buzz about how this had received an R rating but not for language or nudity, just for pure horror. I don't think that's happened since?
Wan ingeniously set up a shared universe in this with the Warren's collection room. It feels like almost every piece in there could be it's own standalone spinoff film.
The cast is great, the scares are great. I was in the mood to marathon this series as there are entries I have not yet seen. Stay tuned...
Starting with this one I would like to rate the evil entities each film features -
Bathsheba:
- 4 out of 5
- truly creepy looking
- the clap game was sinister and scary enough to be put in the trailers
- exorcism level type stuff
- attempting to scare and kill an adult can be creepy but trying to kill a kid is on a whole other level
