It’s pretty slow at first. I don’t find the "haunted" family as captivating in this one as I did with the first 2 installments of the franchise. But it’s worth a watch. About as good as the last conjuring, but not in the same league as the first 2. **SPOILER ALERT** There’s some nice callbacks and cameos at the end of the film. One of which was the man himself, James Wan! Really wish he had directed this one but oh well 🤷🏽‍♂️

This movie didn’t get remotely interesting until the last 40 minutes. I’m a fan of the lead actor’s other work, so I’ll say he probably worked with what he had. Wasn’t a fan of the lead actress’s performance. The actor playing the villain is a known villain cast, so I knew without knowing anything prior, that he was the villain lol. I’ve seen all the previous installments, but I’ve never read the source material, so I don’t know if the additional supernatural elements were unique to this film or not, but they were poorly executed and explained. The action wasn’t anything to get excited about , but the choices they made with his healing powers were interesting. Considering that the only good "crow" film was the original from 1994, the bar was brought down pretty low for the film. It barely got over it. This film was like a watered down Constantine with mild John Wick vibes here and there. Pretty much weak sauce.
