As most of us already know that this movie is based on true horrific incidents happened on Rhode island well known as Harrisville Horror. But what none knew is that this is one of real terrible haunting experience Demonologist Ed and Lorrine Warren gone through which they never wanted to share or reveal it to outside world until this story was published as a 3 parts book by one of Daughter Andrea from Perron Family who were haunted by this demonic possession.

Story is quite common as we always seen on so many films like a family moving in a new isolated country house which is possessed by evil spirits and how they slowly start to taunt the family one after the other starting from the youngest. But what makes it so unique is the way this movie was picturized along with some scary n stunning BGM all through , hats off to the screenplay for putting it meticulously well. More importantly the cast picked was so perfect, especially in hands of great director like James Wan , output was astonishing then a normal horror movie would be. Not to mention Vera Farmiga as Lorraine warren , Patrick wilson as Ed who did justice to their role given in this movie and they carry this movie through its entire run. This movie starts with a little intro on ed 'n' Lorraine warren , their works on this field and a haunting trip to the occult museum which was insightful , kicks off viewers with a little sense what we are going to experience in next few hour. Those artifacts from Occult museum was real and that Anabelle doll was so real to ever realize hoe dangerous that doll is. If you are one who read Ed & Lorraine warren articles would understand the height of danger their life's are and how they manage to life a normal life midst. 

The way this story picks up the pace slowly and how possession slowly introduced to the viewers was engaging and especially this movie follows the same formula as Ed quotes about the three stages of possession. I had a pleasure to watch this movie in a cinema hall equipped with ATMOS DTS where every few meters of the wall is mounted with powerful speakers, makes my movie watching experience spine chilling. There are so many places in the movie , which would make you jump of the seat with fear and makes your eyes pop out looking out for whats gonna happen next , for sure this movie fear factor is too high. Complete theater was dead silent in just 30 min of movie run and people started to hell out of fear at many places while the ghostly images are shown , a must to mention when Lorraine warren see a women hanging from tree above Ed warren shoulder was just jaw dropping. There are so many favorite scenes this movie has and i must say i really enjoyed this movie to the core , every minute of it is pure fun. Especially that thought in your mind telling you that this movie is based on true incidents makes the movie watching experience more surprising and interesting.I seen many compare this movie with Insidious but fact being this a true story clearly wins over the odds , but if at all i must mention any other movie which has the same fear factor with close resemblance then i would pick movie Exorcism of Emily rose which again is based on true incidents. Last 15 mih happen very fast and trust me the exorcism scene was real scary when the whole house sakes down , group of birds attacking the house or when Carolyn perron lifted with the chair in air was very very disturbing. I felt the finishing could have been a little better as it was not what really happened to perron family were they had to vacate the house inorder to get our of the haunting experience & possession they been having. Music tops best then all other aspects of the film as being so powerful giving more strength to such a kind of script , James wan sure won peoples heart yet again...!! 

Be it when the Ghostly figure jumps over andrea in bedroom or while her mother been attacked by bethsehba or during a scene where maid ghost says "She made me do it" or when they play hide n seek in home with claps were all chilling. This is one movie people donot want to leave their seats even during end credits where the real pics of Perron family & warren's were shown and such a big reception for a horror movie is too hard to be seen , especially with the kind of movies releasing these days . Thank god this was not spoiled by inducing 3D format to it. Would any movie end quote come better then this "The devil exists. God exists. And for us, as people, our very destiny hinges on which we decide to follow ~ Ed warren " . I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and this is a must watch in theater's only , preferred ATMOS DTS environment. Do not miss this first-rate intriguing movie experience you would ever see.....!! I would recommend one to go through Warrens documentaries to know of more such kind of stories.

" Definitely this movie is Psychologically and emotionally disturbing , not for weak hearted "
