The Conjuring 2. Review on The Conjuring 2

The Conjuring 2 largely takes place in England that the chills feel slightly closer to home. The Hodgson home is a damp, shadowy, tired state house now battling much more than just mould and damp. There is a vengeful spirit possessing the youngest girl in the home, making a right mess of the kitchen and manifesting into several horrifying characters. Armed with their strongest crucifix and some stunning 70s cravats, the Warrens try their darnedest to vanquish the demonic spirit. Fans of flashy special effects and CGI monstrosities will get their fill as the film progresses, allowing the audience to see more and more through the sweaty fingers covering their eyes. I was not a huge fan of 2013 The Conjuring, though I recognized it was a first class horror effort. The film recounted the efforts of real life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren and their attempt to solve the famous Harrisville haunting in Rhode Island. Effectively directed by James Wan, Conjuring still had the feeling of a bit of deja vu in the well-worn genre for me. The movie was a smash, one of the most successful in the genre ever, box office-wise, with more than$300 million worldwide.
