This film is based on the real life story of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren who are engaged to try to help the Perron family, who are being haunted by a dark presence. The Warrens are best known for their involvement in the Amityville Horror case about which there have been several movies made. There isn't all that much more to say about this film in terms of plot, although it is a little different from others in the genre as the story is shown through the eyes of the investigators rather than those being haunted. In the end, the decision about whether to circle it on your calendar is really just going to be based on whether you're a fan of haunted house movies or not.

That said, I've gotta put it out there… what is it about families moving into houses that have a secret scary past that’s led to so many horror films? You’d think we’d tire of it at some point, but for whatever reason a creepy undead presence violating the place where we’re supposed to feel the safest gets us every time. Myself included. And this script certainly has a few scares that will leave some audience members feeling a little red-faced after screaming out loud. Myself included.

So don't miss this latest haunting film or you'll be missing not only a good movie, but also a nervous drive home afraid of what's lurking in the backseat of the car and a reason to go to sleep with all of the lights on.
