What kind of watch this is
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It is a 2021 horror thriller that treats the Warrens' most famous case as a courtroom drama with a supernatural undercurrent. It runs 111 minutes and centers on the first murder trial in U.S. history where the suspect claimed demonic possession as a defense. That is a bold legal hook. It makes for a strange, procedural ghost story where the scariest moments happen in a wood-paneled room, not a haunted house. It is less about jumpscares and more about the weight of a confession that no one else believes.
What the critics said
Critics called it a comedown, though not a total failure. Rotten Tomatoes lists a 56% Tomatometer score as of May 2026, alongside an average rating of 5.8/10 from June 2022. Metacritic assigns a 53/100 Metascore based on October 2025 data, labeling the reception mixed or average. The consensus notes the film is a step back for the series, yet the leads keep the audience invested. Owen Gleiberman of Variety noted it is "the most somber and meditative and least aggressive of the Conjuring films." David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter found "plenty of lurid fun" but said the spiritual grounding gets diluted.
How it did with audiences
It cost $39 million and took in $66 million in the United States, leading to a $206 million worldwide total. That is a tidy profit, though the franchise has seen better days. On TMDB, users rate it 7.3 out of 10. The audience did the math and found the devil’s bargain acceptable.
What came next for the cast
Vera Farmiga moved from The Departed and The Conjuring to The Nun II and The Conjuring: Last Rites. Patrick Wilson stepped away from Aquaman and Prometheus to land roles in Moonfall, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and The Nun II. The timeline shows a consistent drift toward high-profile franchise parts for both. The credits cannot say this specific film caused that shift. They can only chart the path taken.
