Director James Wan has delivered what should rightfully be considered his masterpiece. There is a breadth and scale of ambition at work, which really tops anything he's tried in the genre before. Most importantly: it's a resounding success. Read full review

Wan has a gift for investing even the creakiest cliches with shivery élan. Read full review

There are some solid scares (Wan is too gifted in the dark art of gotcha manipulation to not make you leap a few times), but there’s nothing on par with the first film’s brilliant hide-and-clap scene with Lili Taylor. If there’s going to be a Conjuring 3—and this movie is just decent enough to suggest there will be—our heroes should be a little choosier about which case they dust off next. Read full review

The Conjuring 2 is serviceable horror, heavy on the audio stings yet smarter than the average gorefest. Read full review

If The Conjuring is an example of the haunted house movie done right, The Conjuring 2 is an example of everything gone wrong. You can only retread old tropes so many times. Read full review

This is the best horror film I have seen. I'm very scared when I watch it because of its effect. I think this is a must-see. The acting of the main characters is good. I am very impressed by the role of Vera Farmiga.

Despite not quite reaching the same level as its predecessor, this still managed to hold up surprisingly well for a horror sequel. James Wan does what he knows how to do best, which is make an imaginative and chilling film with several tense moments throughout. Patrick Wilson and VeraDespite not quite reaching the same level as its predecessor, this still managed to hold up surprisingly well for a horror sequel. James Wan does what he knows how to do best, which is make an imaginative and chilling film with several tense moments throughout. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga also deliver strong lead performances once again. Overall, while it does explore familiar territory for the most part as well as draw from some horror and possession cliches, most of that is made up for through its fair share of clever and tense scares as well.… Expand

What disappoints me is that the story behind the Conjuring 2 is painfully boring and not scary in the slightest. The sub plot with the Nun was interesting and that should have been the focus instead of the junk main plot in England. Really disappointed as I was a fan of the first film.
