	Media	Author	Review
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"The demons are getting dusty (...) 'The Devil Made Me Do It' is less scary than its predecessors"
		Brian Truitt USA Today	"'The Devil' takes the series out of the haunted house and into a supernatural detective thriller, offering less chills in general but just enough unnerving bits" (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Hanna Flint Empire	"The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It hits some major horror notes (...) but the new Satanic worship elements causes the franchise to take a farcical turn (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Kate Erbland IndieWire	"Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are as thrilling and chilling as ever, but the latest film in the possession franchise is messy, stilted, and just not scary."
		Carlos Aguilar The Wrap	"[It] maintains the series’ thrills and chills (...) 'The Devil Made Me Do It' opens with a disturbing sequence that stands as the scariest part of the supernatural saga to date"
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"[Its] narrative simplicity had begun to cede ground to chaotic clutter, a weakness that steadily hobbles the third entry after a promising start that will have you jumping out of your seat."
		Tim Robey Telegraph	"The eighth film in the baggy Conjuring franchise returns to the same familiar, schlocky ground – with predictable, if entertaining, results (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Eammon Jacobs Radio Times	"If you’re looking for demonic scares and gut-wrenching tension, then The Devil Made Me Do It absolutely delivers on that promise (...) There’s plenty of chilling set pieces (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"A handsomely made, if often overly self-serious, addition to the popular franchise (...) It might not make you believe in the devil but it will make you believe that sometimes he deserves a bigger budget (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Travers ABC News	"If "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It" falls apart on close examination, it is still hooey of a crazily entertaining nature (...) But breathless audiences exhilarated by the ride are unlikely to find that a punishable offense"
		Ian Sandwell Digital Spy	"The Warrens are back with their darkest case yet (...) The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It's intense opening will terrify you whether you believe in demons or not (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tomris Laffly rogerebert.com	"Frustrating and only sparsely scary (...) There is no denying that Wilson and Farmiga have come to portray two of the most iconic figures of contemporary horror (...) Rating: ★★ (sobre 4)"
		Rosie Fletcher Den of Geek	"A fun film with two likable leads and plenty of good jumps (...) a worthy addition to the Warrens’ playbook."
		Jacob Oller Paste Magazine	"Satan won't want responsibility for mediocre 'The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It'"
		Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"The devil made me watch it! That’s the only reasonable excuse for why my body didn’t get up and leave after the first half of the film. Ok, the devil and my paycheck (...) Devil, make a better movie (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
