The Conjuring - The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)/3:30AM Insomnia Revisit

 It was like 3:30 in the morning and I have this damned sore throat and cough. HBO had this on at that time, so I was like "Why not?" I love Wilson and Farmiga as the Warrens. Cinematic Warrens are just my horror couple. And Lorraine breaking when the doc tells her Ed had a heart attack, Farmiga just has me wanting to give her a hug. And how Wilson shows that vulnerability in Ed, where he can't be as active and depends on the cane, especially his inability to control the possessed kid, really landed with me, too.

This viewing has a scene at the end that stood out to me where Ed is swinging a sledgehammer in Lorraine's direction in this tunnel under a former priest's house due to the priest's daughter, who practices a form of witchcraft, blowing "possession dust" in his face. How Farmiga sells that terror and shock while Wilson just rampages sold me a ticket...these two are just so valuable to this Universe.
