Synopsis: In 1971, Carolyn and Roger Perron move their family into a dilapidated Rhode Island farm house and soon strange things start happening around it with escalating nightmarish terror. In desperation, Carolyn contacts the noted paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren, to examine the house.
Review: The storyline looks like a true story in the 70s. The 70s style is then really well depicted, the deco, clothes and picture colours as well. The way it is presented, the suspense leads to the fear time to time with subtility. The tone track enhances the suspense also with subtility. There is no Boo! effect and this makes a good movie. The scenery has a rythm to alternate investigation and action and personal aspects in both Warren and Perron families. Finally, I do not know whether the Warren are very good storytellers or have expericenced all this, but to watch the movie and appreciate it, you should not care about that.  After several years of break, James Wan comes back with fine skills, much finer than Saw.
Rating: 7 /10
