“The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It” (**1/2 out of four) was a reasonably efficient horror show about the Warren investigators (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) looking into more paranormal activity that has led to murder and may be linked to a 1981 murder trial that took place in Connecticut. Eight entry in this blockbuster horror series is actually one of the better entries with a sufficient amount of jumps, jolts, and scares and directed with style by Michael Chaves; still, though, it’s pretty thin stuff and is needlessly overlong at nearly two hours. Fans of the series will love it; others needn’t bother by this point.
