Sarcasm Because Torturing People In Your Basement Is Frowned Upon Shirt, hoodie, tank top
Farmiga, 2018.
Evil is counterbalanced, in the mainline Conjuring films, by the Warrens, depicted as exemplars of goodness and connubial bliss. Based on lurid accounts that surfaced as part of an ongoing legal dispute that’s raged around the series, that seems to be as removed from reality as, well, ghosts and demons. But the Warrens of the Conjuring films serve as beacons fighting the darkness around them, people of faith who’ve earned the trust of the Catholic church and regularly help rid the world of evil spirits with the church’s help. Wilson and Farmiga are charming and believably loving as mom-and-pop business owners who just happen to be in the business of casting out satanic entities.
Before The Conjuring, the real-life Ed (who died in in 2006) and Lorraine Warren (who died in 2019) were best-known for their connection to the “incidents” that inspired The Amityville Horror, but their history with the supernatural both predates and supersedes it. As founders of the New England Society for Psychic Research and keepers of a now-shuttered occult museum, their case files have provided inspiration, direct or otherwise, for each of the franchise’s entries. They may have been naifs or charlatans or some combination of the above, but Wilson and Farmiga play them as reverent and learned warriors for God, and their unwillingness to wink or condescend makes their fictional counterparts convincing no matter what manner of weirdness they encounter. Wilson and Farmiga have stuck around for each sequel and cameoed in some of the tie-in films, but the sincerity and conviction they create together resonates even in the films in which they don’t appear.
However low the franchise’s ceiling might be, it also features a pretty high floor. Like MCU movies, even the worst entries in the Conjuring universe are still pretty enjoyable. 2014’s Annabelle, felt a bit like a quickie follow-up, but the series righted itself with The Conjuring 2 in 2016, which opens with the Warrens visiting the famed Amityville home then traveling to London to deal with a poltergeist. Their investigation also scares up two franchise-worthy foes: a demonic nun (subject of the 2018 film The Nun, starring Taissa Farmiga) and the Crooked Man.
Though the latter spin-off remains in development, the Conjuring-verse has stayed busy, even with Wan working elsewhere. (Wan has since applied his blockbuster chops to Furious 7 and Aquaman, though he’s due to make a horror return with Malignant later this year.) 2019 saw the release of both Annabelle Comes Home and the stealth tie-in The Curse of La Llorona (which featured cameos both from a character introduced in Annabelle and Annabelle herself but was never marketed as a
