What it’s about — and how it feels
A family’s farmhouse becomes the center of a haunting that draws paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren into close contact with a dark presence. James Wan builds dread through patient staging, sudden shifts in perspective and the contrast between domestic routines and unseen threat, while the Warrens’ partnership gives the ordeal a steady human center.
