The Conjuring 2 (2016)

Director: James Wan

Starring: Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga

Ed and Lorraine Warren travel to North London to help a single mother raising 4 children alone in a house plagued by a supernatural spirit.

As with most sequels, this was not as scary or effective as ‘The Conjuring’. It was nice to see Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga back in the roles of Ed and Lorraine Warren. They just bring such a sense of credibility to the film that you almost believe they are Ed and Lorraine Warren. I did get a sense of ‘Oh, I’ve seen this before’, but the film is nevertheless still good in its own right and worth the watch.

The film was a huge box office success, earning $320 million on a $40 million dollar budget. It was also nominated for Best Horror of 2016
