The devil made me watch it!\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the only reasonable excuse for why my body didn\u2019t get up and leave after the first half of the latest film in the \u201cConjuring\u201d franchise. OK, the devil and my paycheck.<\/p>\n

Based on the 1981 case of Arne Cheyenne Johnson, the first American to claim demonic possession as his reason for committing murder, the movie called \u201cThe Devil Made Me Do It\u201d starts out fine enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, are back in that infamous hotbed of occultism \u2014 Connecticut \u2014 when they\u2019re called to help a family whose little boy\u2019s body can suddenly contort into unnatural positions and whose voice now sounds like Darth Vader\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pair stages a pretty funny exorcism, and during the rite, the demon leaps into the body of 19-year-old Arne (Ruairi O\u2019Connor), the kid\u2019s sister\u2019s boyfriend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Possessed, Arne then goes and stabs his poor landlord to death, under the influence of the evil spirit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\""The
\u201cThe Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It,\u201d starring Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, depicts the exorcism of David Glatzel (played by Julian Hilliard).<\/figcaption>

OK, so that ends the true-ish part of the story. But there is still over an hour to go. What director Michael Chaves and screenwriter David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick therefore do is akin to food companies that sneak sawdust into grated Parmesan cheese. \u201cThe Conjuring 3\u201d is a big mouthful of sawdust.<\/p>\n

On their long and convoluted road, Ed and Lorraine pursue a boring old murder they believe to be spiritually connected to the latest crime. Lorraine is also a psychic and goes into vivid trances in which she witnesses past events. The vulnerable Farmiga, saddled with a cockamamie plot, is miraculously always great in these movies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the packed second half, there\u2019s a gaunt witch without a discernible motivation \u2014 other than wanting to hang out with the devil, and we keep meeting this one zombie who reminds me of an early-career Meatloaf. At one point, a character named Drew (Shannon Kook) says, \u201cMy Latin is a little rusty\u201d as he translates a spell book.<\/p>\n

The sapp<\/a>y final moments, suggesting we were really watching a love story all along, are major groaners.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Devil, make a better movie.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
