The best and scariest horror films to watch now on HBO Max
As an exercise in classical scare tactics, delivered through an escalating series of primo setpieces,is often supremely effective. Set in the early ’70s, an era [James] Wan evokes through careful period detail and a heavy coat of “look, it’s the past” sepia, the film dives into the real-life case files of Ed and Lorraine Warren, married paranormal investigators whose biggest claim to fame was the Amityville incident.
Following a thunderously portentous title card, which strains to position, the focus shifts to parents Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor, who move their family of seven into a roomy Rhode Island farmhouse. The subsequent supernatural happenings—slammed doors, rearranged belongings, yanked limbs—are nothing audiences haven’t seen before, but Wan stages them for maximum heart-in-throat suspense.
