In desperation, Carolyn contacts the noted paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren, to examine the house. What the Warrens discover is a whole area steeped in a satanic haunting that is now targeting the Parren family wherever they go. To stop this evil, the Warrens will have to call upon all their skills and spiritual strength to defeat this spectral menace at its source that threatens to destroy everyone involved
Likes : First thing your notice with the film is the fact it based on a true story, here your probably thinking oh yet another horror that made up to be a true story for the shock & horror value for the film. Well you would be wrong in thinking that, This is truly based on an investigation back in the 70 of a true haunted house & area which leads to two other haunting in the same area one of which is the famous Amityville haunting which was investigated by the same investigator in this film.
Vera Farmiga & Patrick Wilson Portray world famous demonologist Lorraine Warren & Ed Warren who have countless paranormal investigation like Amityville The Warrens are best known for their involvement in the Amityville Horror case in which New York couple George and Kathy Lutz claimed that their house was haunted by a violent, demonic presence so intense that it eventually drove them out of their home.
The Amityville Horror Conspiracy authors Stephen and Roxanne Kaplan characterized the case as a "hoax" Lorraine Warren told a reporter for The Express-Times newspaper that the Amityville Horror was not a hoax. The reported haunting was the basis for the 1977 book The Amityville Horror and 1979 and 2005 movies of the same name. Demon murder In 1981, Arne Johnson was accused of killing his landlord, Alan Bono.
Ed and Lorraine Warren had been called prior to the killing to deal with the alleged demonic possession of the younger brother of Mr. Johnson's fiancee. The Warrens subsequently claimed that Mr. Johnson was also possessed. At trial, Mr. Johnson attempted to plead Not Guilty by Reason of Demonic Possession, but was unsuccessful with his plea.The case was described in the 1983 book The Devil in Connecticut by Gerald Brittle.
The Warrens' most famous case, the Amityville Horror, has been questioned by critics. According to Benjamin Radford, the story was "refuted by eyewitnesses, investigations and forensic evidence."[6] Lawyer William Weber reportedly stated that he, Jay Anson and the occupants "invented" the horror story "over many bottles of wine."
Horror author Ray Garton who wrote an account of the alleged haunting of the Snedeker family in Southington, Connecticut later called into question the veracity of the accounts contained in his book, saying, The family involved, which was going through some serious problems like alcoholism and drug addiction, could not keep their story straight, and I became very frustrated; its hard writing a non-fiction book when all the people involved are telling you different stories.
These were just some of the investigation they done. One thing I can say is the fact that what makes this a pretty frightening film is it really did happen & shed's some light on the amityville investigation. If you go to watch this film be warned its not for the faith heart, this is by far one of the best true story horror film to date that will scare the living hell out of you. It has the chilling & disturbing factor as will as the story unfolds. It truly is a terrifying film to watch a family go though this Evil event in their lives, there are some moments that will make you jump, but the good thing about this film as well is that it give you a real insight to demonology & the way haunting's happen any where for a reason. The twisted moody & dark atmosphere really set the tone for the film to really put a chill down your spin.
Dislikes : Just slight a bit slow in place but not enough to get board of the film.
Overall : Best horror to date, Seriously frightening & spin chilling, i recommend going to watching this Film if you love to be scared.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for Horror / 10 out of 10 for the dark atmosphere/spin chilling theme/real story
