Yes, these movies are cinematic fast-food, but when the garnishing and plating are this good, I reckon we should at least bother to recognise the effort.

The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It | Reviews
Mom-and-pop demon fighters Ed and Lorraine Warren bring their brand of Satanic investigation before the court, in this well-paced and surprisingly sweet sequel. This is a horror formula that really works.

The Guardian
The caveated effectiveness of The Conjuring 3 should be a reminder to studios that treating a horror film like a sumptuously crafted event is something worth indulging in more often.

As long as Wilson and Farmiga keep coming back, I hope they never stop making these movies.

What puts the movie a notch above... is the performance of Farmiga as Lorraine Warren.

The scariest thing about "The Devil Made Me Do It" is the possibility that it will set the stage for more of this...

[Offers] less chills in general but just enough unnerving bits in a welcome showcase for Farmiga.

Los Angeles Times
Hits the occasional sweet spot, if less consistently or surprisingly than its predecessors did.

Bloody Disgusting
Chaves takes the reins from Wan and runs with it, bringing a wholly different experience that still feels like a warm reunion with horror's favorite couple.

Our goodwill and sense of nostalgia for the Warrens goes only so far in this third film.
