Get rid of whatever doesn’t make you happy. Wise words, but in the context of this movie? WOW! In what goes down as a very disturbing opening, Woe begins with a solitary man, Charlie (Adam Halferty), clutching a garbage bag which is shaped like a person - a very still person.

Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, The Magnificent Seven, The Equalizer), where are you? Surely, Infinite is NOT the movie you wanted to make.

Satan is real and it just might take The Warrens to get you to accept it . . . especially in a court of law. The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is definitely NOT the best in the ongoing franchise, but it isn’t the worst either. The positives in this horror flick, which concerns itself a demonic possession instead of a haunted house, remain ...
