THE OPINION OF THE “WORLD” – WHY NOT
New episode of a successful horror series, Conjuring 3, under the influence of the devil features a couple of exorcisers embodied by Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson, apparently inspired by real characters, who attempt to demonstrate that a young man has committed a murder while he was possessed by the devil, a mitigating circumstance therefore. They conduct an investigation that will lead them to the source of the evil curse that has befallen the hapless possessed.
Quackery
Michael Chaves’ film fulfills an expected set of specifications, one which consists in regularly making a Saturday night spectator jump, in his chair, whether he is gullible or seasoned in the consummate techniques of cinematographic jitters.
The most interesting moment in the film, though arguably not sufficiently exploited, is when it comes to discovering the identity of the evil character behind it all and the possible speculation about what made him so. A little human dimension in a mechanism essentially based on various religious things and charlatanism. Which still leaves a little thoughtful about the current evolution of a certain cinematographic terror.
American film Michael chaves. With Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Ruairi O’Connor (1 h 52).
