HOLLYWOOD—Can you believe it we have already reached the third installment in “The Conjuring” franchise? The first flick which arrived in 2013 was full of surprises and spine-chilling terror. The 2016 sequel “The Conjuring 2” was an epic sequel in my opinion, turning up the horror to new heights. So what about this third installment, “The Devil Made Me...

HOLLYWOOD—I thought the movie “Silent Night” had a genius premise when I first heard about it. A guy who is violently injured and loses his ability to speak as a result, tell me I’m dreaming right?
