I think this was a pretty solid horror entry overall. The jump scares land, and as always, Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga carry the film with the same strong presence they’ve had in every Conjuring movie.
That said, my gripes with it are pretty heavy. The addition of Judy’s fiancé, Tony, felt pointless — he added nothing and could’ve been cut without changing the story. Judy herself, now grown up, was a bit of a snoozefest too. I get the whole angle of the entity wanting her back since she “came from the dead,” but the payoff at the end just didn’t hit.
One thing I’ve noticed with these films: they always seem to get less scary toward the finale. Instead of peaking with the most terrifying moments, the climax feels watered down, which undercuts the tension they build so well earlier on.
Overall, I’d give it a decent 3 out of 5.
