The Conjuring 2 (2016)

Description:

The Conjuring 2 is a 2016 horror movie. It stars Patrick Wilson (who also stars in Bone Tomahawk (2015)) and Vera Farmiga (who stars in the TV series Bates Motel (2013)). It was directed by James Wan (who also directed Saw (2004)).

 

Ed and Lorraine Warren must help a family who is being attacked by a poltergeist in London.

 

Review:

This movie started off extremely scary but sizzled out by the second act.

 

The first act had great storytelling and set the characters up well. I liked the music they used such as London Calling by The Clash and Bus Stop by The Hollies. There was a great creepy atmosphere but unfortunately, it didn't last.

 

Janet, one of the little girls, was possessed so many times that the scariness started to fail. The Crooked Man was lame as well and was not frightening at all. I did find the nun character to be terrifying though. The make-up and costume design were amazing.

 

I jumped a lot in the beginning but by the middle and end, I was getting bored. The way the camera slowly pans and follows the characters was an effective way to scare me.

I wasn't sure what was going to pop up.

 

I recommend watching this one but it's not the greatest. At the very end, they play real recordings from the Enfield Poltergeist and that was horrifying to hear.
