Ryan H Enjoyable throughout, but definitely leaves way more questions than information (maybe that's the point though). Enjoyed some of the cinematography choices, shot framings, the reenacting, and real audio over actors voices, wish there was more of that. Not knowing this story before hand, I wish they had focused a little more on the character that is actually the one on trial per the namesake rather than the kid. The kid's story was important but I didn't expect it to be Arne and was just kinda like "oh, that guy's who this is about?" and felt like I didn't know almost anything about him. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Nathan M A bad mix of b movie horror aspects and true crime case study. Save yourself the first 55 minutes, google who Ed and Lorraine Warren are, don't look at the articles yet keep it handy, then watch the final 20-30 minutes of ACTUALLY insightful details. It's literally all you need to know about this, avoid the trap of feeling sorry for this family(mostly the mother) and the two cons that had them play out this nightmare. A documentary on the Warren empire, and charlatans similar to them, would be much more enjoyable and appropriate in this day and age of over stuffed content and tired rhetorics. GIVE US FACTS AND AWFUL TRUTHS, we have enough side shows as it is. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review matthias s "The Devil on Trial" certainly puts the 'mock' in mockumentary. While it promises to delve into the eerie world of demonic possession and a shocking murder, it falls flat on its face. The film seems more like a hastily assembled collection of reenactments and home videos rather than a true documentary. The only thing truly possessed in this production is a lack of depth. I was hoping for some profound insights or new revelations, but it felt like a rehashed storyline we've seen in countless horror movies, including "The Conjuring 3." In fact, it seems like "The Devil on Trial" could be a direct sequel to that film with its eerie reenactments. While the concept is intriguing, the execution is lacking, leaving you with the feeling that you've wasted your time. It's a devil of a disappointment, making you wonder if the devil made them do it, but it should be put on trial for masquerading as a documentary. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review Jerod S Documentary gives some background into the disagreements about what happened as far as the family was concerned. But if you're looking for proof of possession - you won't find it here. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Claire F I thought it was quite interesting. Curious true tale. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Misty G Sadly this movie was more of a documentary to mock the Warrens and not what it was supposed to be about. I was hoping for a little more detail about the house from the Warren's prospective. Not worth it. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
