Directed by: James Wan
Starring: David Thewlis, Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga, Franka Potente, Frances O'Connor, Madison Wolfe
Genres: Horror
Continuity mistake: The red napkin in Ed Warren's hand disappears and reappears several times while he sits at the breakfast table.
Lorraine Warren: Do you know when the voice is going to speak?
Janet Hodgson: Sometimes.
Lorraine Warren: And when it does, does it feel like it is coming from inside of you?
Janet Hodgson: No, it is more like it is coming from behind me, like I'm being used.
Trivia: While eating breakfast there are "letters" on the window ledge in front of Ed and Lorraine at their home. They spell out the word Valak, the name of the demon they encounter once they are in England. (00:30:30 - 00:32:00)
Answer: Valak was portrayed as a particularly powerful demon. In horror films demons are often portrayed as overconfident, and in this case it was thinking that Lorraine Warren would not be powerful enough to be able to defeat it. In addition, Valak revealed their name while Lorraine was in a dreamlike trance state, so it may have believed that she might not remember or make the connection at any point and be able to use it to her advantage.
