If just one of these films came out just as a horror flick and not passing as truth I would see it 5 ties just to support bucking this shitty trend.

Ah, the common fallback of the scared cynic that doesn't want to challenge his world view.
"the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."
There is a article in the Providence Journal about this today, as I guess the original story happened here in Rhode Island or something. Figured I'd pass it on.

Saw this an hour or so ago, an absolute generic horror movie. Waste of theater money, eventually well worth a spot in your netflix queue
Anyone see this yet? Or R.I.P.D. and red 2?

Looks like this movie won the weekend.

Ed and Lorraine Warren were full of shit (think Ed's dead, Lorraine may still be kicking around, though). Good for an interesting story, but nothing else. If you want some good stuff on them, look through the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe back catalogue.
Going to go see this tonight.

It started out strong with some good old school scares but the ending was horribad.
And this "based on a true story" shit needs to stop. It doesn't make the movie scarier. And it's as much "based on a true story" as The Exorcist or The Shining or Transformers.

Was pretty decent but they failed on a couple of points:
1. They failed to build up and show the fear and horror that the family had while living in the house. There's a whole bunch of fairly unexplainable shit that occurs
that seems to produce zero dialogue (and longlasting discomfort/fear) between the parents. In fact, the father actually decides it's cool to leave the house and go on a business trip. Where's the freaked out conversation trying to make sense of it all? They really missed the boat on that one.
2. The unnecessary plotline at the end
1. They failed to build up and show the fear and horror that the family had while living in the house. There's a whole bunch of fairly unexplainable shit that occurs
dog dying on the first night, birds randomly killing themselves against the windows, numerous bruises all over the body, NON-electical clocks continously stopping at exactly 3:07 every single night, etc...
2. The unnecessary plotline at the end
Why did the demon go such a far distance to spook their daughter? And how? wtf did I miss this part or did they need to add extra minutes to the movie. This felt completely stapled on at the end with no reason

Really fuck me, it had excellent reviews at rotten tomatoes.
They made it sound like Drag Me to Hell movie.
Enjoyed it up until the last 20 min or so. I thought the end was a little dull/been done before/etc. And not sure why it got an R rating. Hardly any blood in the movie.
The demon going after the daughter? Maybe I missed it but seems like the lady cursed anyone that lived on the land so it's completely out of character to go against someone not living on it or involved in it in any way...

Yeah, I assumed it used the twin lockets as a conduit to attack the demonologists.
