![]() It should also be said that Joseph Bishara’s score was super hit or miss. Anytime the nun was on screen for any reason, my kneecaps were very nearly glued to my eyelids. That is the first movie “monster” to make me second guess going down the hall to the bathroom at night since Samara. What I can tell you is that I may be looking up that creepy nun from the trailers on MySpace to see if we are also cool. Me telling you wouldn’t do it justice anyway. I wish I could elaborate on this, but I want everyone to get to see it for themselves. There’s also a lot of cheese is this one. That said, James Wan, if you’re reading this, I still love you and I can’t wait to see Lights Out! However, they could only work with what they were given. Vera Farmiga, Frances O’Connor, Patrick Wilson… they’re all lovely each one giving a truly solid performance. The movie, in and of itself, scared me so thoroughly that I was sweating… but that doesn’t mean that it’s good. I don’t want to lead you down the wrong path here. If you see this movie for only one reason, let that reason be Patrick Wilson’s Elvis impression. So they take the opportunity to boost morale in the household. During their residency with the Hodgson gang, some weird shit goes down, but nothing that makes Lorraine’s ears perk up. They’ve been promised that they only need to stay for a few days and observe. Or, like, “Hm, I’m never going to be the same after this.”Įnter Ed and Lorraine Warren: Evil Spirit Ass Kickers. This is I-should’ve-taken-some-Xanax-before-this frightening. Unlike The Visit, though, this is not funny. I kept expecting to see naked Nana from The Visit go scurrying across. This movie looooves to stand at the top of the stairs in the dark and look down. When Janet begins sleep walking, she often ventures outside of the safety of her bedroom. Everyone knows that it stands true in most horror movies that the scariest stuff happens after dark. It can’t be that hard because all these kids ever do is go to bed. Mother of four and left to get by on scraps by her husband, Peggy Hodgson (Frances O’Connor) is kinda sorta keeping the plates spinning where house work and looking after the children are concerned. It’s raining because that’s all it ever does in Enfield? We’re gonna get a little wet! Better than a little dead, I say! I would have gotten everybody on the front lawn and burned that sucker down. ![]() She handled it far more gracefully than I would’ve. Like, the bed moves by itself and Margaret puts Janet back into that same bed, shushing her gently. Her older sister Margaret (Lauren Esposito) with whom she shares a bedroom is a bit like the dad from Paranormal Activity. Only one of four children, Janet (Madison Wolfe) is experiencing and strange goings-on. ![]() Across the pond in a London Borough called Enfield, the Hodgson Family are contending with what appears to be an evil entity in their home.

I also wouldn’t sleep in a room that a) didn’t have more than one exit or b) had a desktop computer because I didn’t want Samara to pull a fast one on me and come outta there. I wouldn’t sleep with a television in my bedroom. For years after I watched it the first time, I became obsessed. I’m pretty sure they hated me, because the movie genuinely terrified me.
