Knowing that Ed is present for the exorcism of frenchie and that's technically a pivotal moment in the relationship of Ed and Loraine (according to the films), and the look Irene gives Frenchy at the end of the film makes me certain we're due for a 3rd Nun film. I had a feeling this movie was going to be a bit stale. The design and appearance of the Nun creeping in dark shadowy halls in the film has lost its shock factor. And the increased exposure of the creature has decreased the menacing creepiness of the Nun. It always was more terrifying when all you were able to see was a silhouette of the Nun and the pale face. I give them credit as they've built a pretty solid story building to the exorcism of Frenchy. They've also found creative ways of adding these religious relics to the storyline as weapons against the demon. When they first released Annabelle people were really creeped out by the dolls lore. In 2023 it's looked at as a new age Chucky doll attached to a major film franchise. It feels like the Conjuring Universe is building to something huge. I have said for years it's building to a Amityville Film as a grand finale. But after this film and the inevitable third film, it's clear that the franchise might want to find a new horrific creature from the cases of the Warren's to add to the library of horror.

The movie is such a fun film. It's only around 90 minutes so it's not long to sit through. There's a lot that happens in that small time. Judge Dredd is such a violent force with probably on of the best Science Fiction weapons of all time. It's cheap effects so it looks like a gun at a laser tag place. But it's so much fun to watch him mow people down. The cast of this film is awesome. The evil drug lord is player Lena Hedley from Game of Thrones and Judge Dredd is played by Karl Urban from the Boys. This movie is a remake from the Sylvester Stallone 90's cult classic. The rookie psychic was played by Olivia Thirlby who's played small parts in some large films. She's a really talented actress and I thought she did great in this film. And NIU legend Wood Harris played a small part in this film, but was awesome as the evil murderous drug dealer. I love the setting of the film, and the design of the block that they're in. The acting in this film for a lower budget is spectacular as they got a lot of actors who became some really popular stars who've played really culturally significant roles. The film had 14 nominations. If you're looking for a quick action packed film, this is a really good film to check out.
