Most Rewatchable Scene
Bill SimmonsThe stretch where they find Rory hiding in the wall, Vera falls in the basement, and all hell breaks loose for 10 minutes▶ 47:45
Chris RyanNancy's hair raising scene where their daughter comes flying across the room and hits the window▶ 48:02
What's Aged the Worst
Bill SimmonsRon Livingston's character - wanted more from him as the dad, he's just a helpless loser who doesn't step up when he should be protecting his family of six women▶ 1:03:51
Chris RyanHow easily Ed and Lorraine Warren find out the house's dark history - they just go to town hall for a second and immediately learn about Bathsheba the witch, while the family somehow never heard about it from neighbors or research▶ 57:15
Half-Assed Internet Research
Bill SimmonsHouse history facts, 50-foot fake tree production detail, calling bullshit on the parents' supernatural experience on set, Amityville connection at movie's end, real Bathsheba was cleared legally and died naturally in 1885, current owners sued after movie made house a tourist attraction▶ 1:12:02
Chris RyanAmityville is referenced in Conjuring 2's opening, there might be rights issues preventing full crossover, predicting Bathsheba location will become an Airbnb▶ 1:13:23
Sean FennesseyAdding the forgotten moment of Vera Farmiga seeing Bathsheba's feet hanging from the tree when they first arrive at the house▶ 1:14:21
Apex Mountain
Bill SimmonsPatrick Wilson — Yes for Patrick Wilson (2013 - The Conjuring and Girls episode), Yes for Lily Taylor (The Conjuring as lead in $319 million horror movie)▶ 1:15:33
Chris RyanPatrick Wilson — Agrees Patrick Wilson didn't reap benefits of franchises and supports Lily Taylor renaissance, but doesn't give clear yes/no positions▶ 1:16:01
Sean FennesseyPatrick Wilson — No for Patrick Wilson - prefers Little Children (2006) with Kate Winslet and Oscar attention▶ 1:17:07
