Just caught this on HBO for the first time. While this movie has some really tense scenes it felt a bit formulaic. However it really picks up steam about mid way through to deliver some genuinely terrifying moments and some pretty cool visuals. Vera Farmiga's performance as Lorraine Warren was quite good as was Lili Taylor's performance when possessed. Definitely worth checking out for fans of haunting movies as well as fans of James Wan.
