Determined to keep Annabelle from wreaking more havoc, paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren lock the possessed doll in the artifacts room in their basement. But when the doll awakens the room's evil spirits, it soon becomes an unholy night of terror for the couple's 10-year-old daughter, Judy Warren, her babysitter Mary Ellen, and her friend, Daniela.
The film stars Mckenna Grace (TV’s The Haunting of Hill House, Gifted, Captain Marvel) as Judy; Madison Iseman (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween) as her babysitter, Mary Ellen; and Katie Sarife (TV's Youth and Consequences and Supernatural) as troubled friend Daniela; with Patrick Wilson (Aquaman, The Conjuring and Insidious films) and Vera Farmiga (The Conjuring films, upcoming Godzilla: King of the Monsters, TV’s Bates Motel) reprising their roles as Ed and Lorraine Warren.
This is the third installment in the spin-off series based in the wildly successful Conjuring Universe. This film does not disappoint, the creepy feel is intensified, and the jump scares are smarter and far more surprising. If you walk in thinking you'll know what's coming, think again. You'll find that much like the cast during production, you are not ready.
Okay let's play a little game finish the sentence for me all three of you. Spookiest thing to happen during production to me was...
Katie Saife: All at the same or no... CANDLE, creepy candle, FIRE.
Creepy candle fire. What was that? Something about it heating up on its own or something like that, what's the story?
Katie Saife: it was like the rim of this candle that I lit... it was an intention candle. What's dancing like the flames are on the rim of the candle and they were dancing in a circle and it was really terrifying but apparently that means that I was going to get what I asked for which is this movie so it was really creepy it worked out but it was still creepy.
Anyone else?
Mckenna Grace: well she had to slam the artifact room door for a scene, but we were rehearsing and she didn't slam it that hard, but Jesus... Jesus like there's a crucifix on the door, Jesus flew off the cross. The cross stayed right there but Jesus was out of there. And just flew across the hall. That was strange.
Madison Iseman: freakiest thing that happened was probably one night when we were done we went out to our dressing rooms and I sat there trying to get my lights to turn on for about 2 minutes like switching on Switching off it wouldn't turn on and I turned around to walk away and it turned on not a fan of that.
So now it's doing the film do you find yourselves more believers of the supernatural or are you a skeptic.
Mckenna Grace: Still a skeptic
Madison Iseman: I'm skeptical
Katie Saife: I'm always skeptical but there are weird things that for sure happened, there's no denying it. But I don't know, denial is a powerful thing.
Looking into the film and what's possibly in the future out of the monsters you ran into, would you like to see more of one specifically?
Madison Iseeman: I want to know more about the Ferryman
Mckenna Grace: I want to know more about the spoons. I'm sorry, I found a collection of spoons. I would like to know more about, the Bride.
