What the movie is about
In the conjuring 3, the movie takes place as a continuation to the series. The first two were about two different “demons”, so watching The Conjuring 3 you would assume it’s about a third . In the movie the demon is “occultist”, she was a satanist or also could be a witch that controlled totems. Within these totems was a curse. For this curse to be lifted and enforced in her favor she needed 3 souls. Possessing Ed, Arnie, and Jessica. To lift this curse they needed to find where the initial place that the curse was cast. This place was in underground tunnels under the house of the witch’s father. In the end, while possessed Ed was trying to kill his wife Loraine she said “Remember me.”, and instead of hitting her he hit the table and the curse was cast and lifted it.

My critique
I’m a huge admirer of the Conjuring franchise, the casting directors performed a wonderful job. Patrick Wilson’s performance in the previous few movies was incredible, he did just as well here. Each character appeared tailor-made for the person who was playing it. When watching The Conjuring, you have quite a decent concept of what you’re going to receive. It was skillfully created, the jump scares were unexpected and the story line was plausible. One thing I appreciate is that the music is well arranged. Essentially if you are someone who enjoys horror, this will provide you with all you require. It has all the key elements to an intriguing plot.
In conclusion the movie, The Conjuring 3, the Devil Made Me Do it may have some critiques but overall is one of the top thriller movies to come out in the year 2021.
