Plot:
The fact that this movie is based on real events makes it so much better. The writers did a really good job setting up the plot so that the characters are forced into this haunting position.
Plot Rating: 8 / 10

Characters:
Over the course of the movie you really start to feel for these characters. As a family, they're struggling financially, but can't move from their farmhouse. As a result, the characters become tightly connected as they try to survive the haunting. I think they all played their role exceptionally well and reacted accordingly.
Character Rating: 9 / 10

VFX:
Overall, the VFX were nice. It wasn't over done and things looked practical.
VFX Rating: 9 / 10

Setting:
It takes place in 1971 where Ed and Lorraine Warren investiagte one of their final cases. This creepy farmhouse will give you shivers all movie long. The house feels very authentic and you're naturally drawn to it.
Setting Rating: 9 / 10

Scoring:
The scoring was good for the most part. There was some background noise, but usually it was so faint that you couldn't hear it unless you had headphones on.
Scoring Rating: 8 / 10

Final Rating: 9.0

This movie was, hands down, one of the creepiest films I've seen recently!
