The Conjuring 2 (2016)

The Conjuring 2

Synopsis

Ed and Lorraine Warren are called to Enfield, England, to help the church investigate one of the most infamous paranormal cases of all time

My Review

The Conjuring 2 still maintains some of the flare and style of the first movie, a little more fantastical but still centred with authenticity. It is still far better than the following two instalments, which illustrates just how important James Wan is to the franchise. The English accents did feel like a caricature of itself and some of the designs such as the Crooked Man just really didn’t hit the way they intended them to. That being said, the Nun was a freaky addition and the young cast performed really well, especially Madison Wolf as Janet, who was brilliant! I did find this particular story far more intriguing because I only live 20 minutes away from the house, so it is fair to say I went research mad after I finished the film and despite taking extreme artistic liberties, it’s still really interesting!

My Rating: 7 out of 10

Thanks for reading!
