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

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

Critics... I think they are just trolls sometimes.

I loved this movie. The movie only has 1 moment that turn me off. The use of special effect doesn't really work for me. If the Crooked Man would have been an actual person in costume, it would have been better.

The third instalment in The Conjuring Universe and sequel to 2013’s The Conjuring features the return of famous paranormal investigators and demonologists, Ed and Lorraine Warren, and their new case took them to Enfield, London in England to investigate another infamous paranormal case, The Enfield Poltergeist, despite the Warrens does not heavily involved in this case in real life.

In the year of 1976, Ed and Lorraine Warren (Wilson and Farmiga) receive media attention after their investigation into the Amityville Horror case, which is one of the infamous paranormal cases the Warrens have investigated in real life. One year later, another similar incident which have been compared to Amityville, occurs in Enfield when the Hodgson family experience strange occurrences in their home.

After all the family members of the Hodgson witnessed the paranormal events and then being interviewed by Maurice Grosse (McBurney) along with the local media, the Warrens are brought into the case to investigate whether the haunting is real or hoax. Meanwhile, Lorraine has an encounter with a mysterious demonic nun figure which has been haunting her and is fear for Ed’s life after having a premonition of his death for years.

Like its predecessor, The Conjuring 2 is a very scary movie which scares me many times and it is definitely better than 2014’s Annabelle. The jump scares are very well utilised when you let your guard down. I was lucky enough not to have heart attack during those jump scares. The make-up of the demonic nun figure is very scary and it is not even done in a CGI. This method saved the crews some money on investing in CGI.

The performance of Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are once again amazing and impressive and they put much more efforts than in the previous movie. Madison Wolfe’s acting was pretty good as well especially when she used British accent for her character she played despite being an American which actually surprised me. She managed to use that accent throughout the movie without accidentally slipping out her natural American accent at any point in the movie.

Last but not least, all praises go to James Wan once again for his direction in making this movie a good and scary horror movie. If there is another future instalment for this franchise, I look forward to it.… Expand

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.

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

The beginning was really scary, but certain plot device choicesd kind of killed the fear/scare as the movie went along. Could have been muchh better than it was if stronger plots were chosen. Still an interesting watch.

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.
