Amazing, must watch.

This is a shocking, visceral, deep powerhouse of a film for me. A mix of relationships in extreme conditions, the role of war photography, and the many implications of this, humanity breakdown seeming so unreal, if we didn't know this happens in war. Enveloped within a premonition of a future that feels far too possible within a US civil war.

Whilst in the real world, the wealth gap extends and global powers control the people, this seems chillingly too possible.

Some excellent acting, writing and creation. Hats off. This disturbed me and I thought it was amazing, must watch.

Probably a good 7.5 out of 10 if I could.

Started a little slowly and built as did the characters. Ok, I'm a boy, but the sex obsession seemed a little over the top, but it was fun and funny in places, but built to something more.

I am not sure what, bar friendships and coming of age, but I was left feeling thoughtful and moved. It's a worthy watch, and I would recommend it as such.

I'm a fan of the Conjuring universe. You kind of know what your going to get. Well produced, slick horrors, with reasonable stories, jump scares and well timed discordant music. They are well done.

It seems the best is saved for The Conduring editions. Number 1 is a classic, 2 is decent and this, number 3 is a really decent love child.

The production and cast are excellent, Vera Farmiga I generally find a pleasure to watch, Patrick Wilson adds well and is comfortable in the role.

The film has some good pace, and a decent story, helped as always by the tenuous link to a "based on a true story" which always adds to these films. I think it could benefit from the tradtional horror, "no more that 1.5hrs", and felt a little long and nearly 2 hours, but not overly under-edited.

Overall if you are a horror fan, this will give you what you need, and I suspect will become a pretty popular, Horror in this excellent fanchise.

Recommendation: Decent watch for Horror fans.
