The third act is full-on insanity, with pyrotechnics and CGI taking over, the battle for a family’s soul being waged with shouted incantations. (I really love how he moves the camera in these films.) When the Warrens finally arrive to help their new clients (it actually takes a surprisingly long time for them to arrive in England), they become one with the family, protecting the children as if they were their own and battling their new foe with vigor.
That means you can expect a slow burn of mysterious doings in the first act before the film earnestly forges into its quest to scare the ever-loving crap out of you, with faces popping out of the dark, loud noises that will punish your eardrums, flying furniture and everything else in Wan’s bag of tricks. Structurally and stylistically, THE CONJURING 2 is quite similar to the first one Wan and his many co-writers have more or less stuck to a formula that worked like gangbusters the first time around. As the haunting becomes public knowledge – even the local police can’t deny strange things are afoot – the family searches for anyone who can run out the godawful scourge.

Things are bad, but the shortage of food, the flooded basement, the cracked ceilings and rusting pipes will turn out to be no match for what befalls them next: the emergence of an indignant poltergeist that singles out young Janet (Madison Wolfe, who is quite excellent) for relentless psychological and physical abuse. In Enfield, England, a single mother (Frances O’Connor) and her four children are living in poverty in the wake of being ditched by the family patriarch. Running parallel to the plight of the Warrens is the case that will, of course, ruin their short-lived retirement. (The moments between Wilson and Farmiga are genuinely touching throughout Wan working his knack for sentimental sweetness.) Hoping to bring an end to the psychic nightmares, Lorraine suggests they stop investigating cases. The paranormal life is finally getting to Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) Warren they’re called out as charlatans by skeptics who don’t know better, and Lorraine in particular is being worn down by unnerving visions of a ghoulish demon.

Not quite as enthralling as the introduction to Annabelle the haunted doll, this prologue still sets the appropriate mood for a movie intent to freak out the cowering little kid within you. Like its predecessor, THE CONJURING 2 opens with a creepy appetizer, in this case a visit to the infamous Amityville house in Long Island, New York. Nowadays, no one conjures up a scare better than Mr. However, that’s a criticism you can basically live with when it comes to THE CONJURING 2, since when it’s firing on all cylinders you’ll be either pinned back to your seat or inching ever closer to the screen with your fingers over your eyes. With a few exceptions, I’m a believer that horror movies – like comedies – shouldn’t go beyond two hours, because they’re more than likely to loose a little pop. At approximately 134 minutes, it could even be said that THE CONJURING 2 goes a tad overboard after about the ninth or tenth one of these scenes you’re bound to become a little inured to all the jump scares and creeping phantoms. The people matter more than the frights.īut there are plenty of frights to be had in this sequel, which has so many protracted sequences of folks (often children) warily navigating gloomy corridors that it’s hard to recall them individually after the fact. We know Wan does scares well, but what he gets less credit for, perhaps unfairly, is the undeniable tenderness he directs toward his characters the torment they go through, and the love they show one another, is as effective as the dozens of spooks and chills Wan throws our way. It must have been like going home again, because Wan doesn’t leave anything out, every trademark’s on full display: darkened hallways, half-seen entities hiding in shadowy corners, abrupt noises and a roving camera that always threatens to show us more than we want to see. REVIEW: After burning off some steam in the FAST & FURIOUS world, James Wan returns to familiar territory with THE CONJURING 2, another involving foray into supernatural nightmare fuel. But when called upon by the church to investigate a potential haunting in England, the Warrens have no choice but to get involved in their most dangerous case yet. PLOT: After a trip to the haunted Amityville house rattles them, paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren are contemplating retirement.
