The latest Conjuring is up on HBO MAX and it's the one that takes place around where the Warrens live, AKA where I grew up. The films are based on true stories. So much demonology and exorcisms in my backyard and I never knew!
The first time they went into the woods I was like 'nope, not Connecticut'. Not a frame of that could have been a Connecticut or a New England location. I checked, and it was all filmed in Georgia.
The films are lovely in terms of art direction and cinematography. I really enjoy the whole series from that front. The first film kind of makes me want to live in a farmhouse with bed covered in mismatched quilts. No complaints, I love the look but they score 0/10 for making it look like anything could be New England. The trees were wrong, none of the houses, buildings or outdoor spaces were designed for snow, etc. It was all very southern.
At one point a river is important and I kept hoping they'd name which one! Oh well. Maybe I can find out.
Anyway, my non-spoiler review is basically ... I grew up with demons all around!
