The Disturbance rises when the Warrens become closer to clearing the abnormalities with the Perron family.

This movie received a IMDb rating of 7. 5/10, 4. 2/5 on Apple Itunes, and a 86% on Rotten Tomato.  My opinion on this topic is that I really enjoy horror movies and think that there are a lot of excellent movies out there and I think that many people do not give credits to horror movies, they focus more on comedies, actions, and dramas. A follow up question that I have is, what are the specific things that make a horror movie great. ? Works Cited “ Movies, TV and Celebrities.” IMDb, IMDb.
