The Conjuring was a great film. And now they've rushed out this spin-off and given the cinematographer a chance to direct, presumably because all the other creative partners were doing better things. This one doesn't really hold together. There's a handful of jump scares but it's really laking the script and character that it's originator succeeded in fleshing out so well.

Our leading couple here is just meh. I don't care about them. They can die or be cursed or whatever is going on. And seriously what is going on? Possessed doll is all well and good, why do we need a demon as well? Strikes against for wise old black lady cliche too.

Yeah it's just not very good. I wasn't expecting it to be, but I think it was still worse than I was hoping for.
