Ok this movie is scary! Don’t watch it late on a Saturday night in the wee small hours as I did and make sure the cat is put to bed and not going to  suddenly leap on your lap at the most frightening part…

Based sort of on the true lives of Paranormal Investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, the film follows one of their most famous cases of a house haunted by several malignant spirits. I’m not exactly buying into the whole ghosts-exist-this-really-happened argument, but the investigators featured in the film were at least real.

This film resembled Poltergeist in a lot of ways and I have a feeling the original film was also based on this case. Basically a large family move into a large old house and then start being terrorized by thumps in the night. We learn the house has had a terrible history, you know the standard sort of thing!
