The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is the 47th movie in the Conjur-verse and I’m not sure but also sets up 12 prequel films, 7 streaming series, 4 comics and an anime spinoff. In all seriousness the Conjuring Universe is a bit convoluted but this film serves as a direct continuation of the main storyline which follows paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, last seen in 2016’s The Conjuring 2. The film, like the others in the main series is loosely based on a real-life case, this time on the 1981 trial of Arne Johnson, who tried to use demonic possession as a defense (the so-called “the devil made me do it” case).

Cruella Movie Review
Don’t be too harsh on Cruella de Vil! Her movie is clever and effective. It’s one to see. If you hear differently, tune it out. After all, everyone loves having someone to hate, am I right? Nothing wrong with admitting that.

A Quiet Place Part II Movie Review
Opens in theaters May 28
“A Quiet Place Part II” is both a short prequel and immediate follow-up to the 2018 hit movie “A Quiet Place”. Since it centers on the same family as in the first movie, the best thing is to see that movie first. In that way, you can see how seamlessly they have made the transition to “Part II”. When the Earth is invaded by alien creatures that hunt based on sound and not by sight – you will want to silently cheer for the Abbott family.
The Dry Movie Review
‘The Dry’ is dry alright. It could have been titled ‘The Driest’ as it’s quite a slow-burn that hardly ever picks up the pace enough to keep you interested.

Final Account Movie Review
Opens in theaters May 21 (German language with English sub-titles)
“Final Account” is a painfully somber experience. The documentary goes back into the German past and digs up many ghosts of the Nazi era. This is in the form of normal elderly adults who, from childhood, grew up in the Third Reich. They were persuaded into thinking that the Fatherland would be the shining beacon for the world. They lived through the rise and fall of Hitler, only to now nominally reject the beliefs they once held dear.

Depending on how you feel about formulaic horror films, ‘Spiral,’ the ninth installment of the ‘Saw’ series, will be either entertaining or a difficult movie to watch because, trust me, they don’t spare the gore.
