It seems everything enjoyable has to stop eventually—though in this case, "enjoyable" doesn't quite apply. The film echoes the feel of the 2016 movie about the Enfield Haunting, centering on the Smurl family as they discover their home is being haunted by a spirit tied to the land where it was constructed. Initially, Ed and Lorraine Warren (played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) are hesitant to intervene, but things escalate when a priest is discovered suspended from the stairs at the bishop’s house, and their daughter, “Judy” (Mia Tomlinson)—who had her own brush with death during childbirth—becomes involved with the distressed family. Then it's up to them and Judy's boyfriend, “Tony” (Ben Hardy), to attempt a rescue before more people are harmed. I appreciated Ben Hardy’s performance in "Unicorns" (2023); he consistently brings energy to his roles and manages well here as well. However, the rest of the movie feels predictable, now featuring a mysterious mirror in the attic. Every dangerous situation is accompanied by an equal measure of foolishness; who would willingly enter a dark room when there's no need to? Especially when the house is making unsettling noises. Vera Farmiga seems more suited for "Downton Abbey" each time she appears, and at over two hours, the film feels stretched out as it tries to weave in familial background and investigative elements into this fairly repetitive sequence of frightening scenes. It’s just not a high point for anyone involved; the narrative lacks originality, and I left hoping that this marked the final chapter.
