The Conjuring 2 (2016) 8/10

Starring : Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Frances O’Connor, Madison Wolfe, Simon McBurney, Franka Potente
Director : James Wan
Running Time : 135 mins

Husband and wife paranormal investigators Ed (Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Farmiga) travel to the UK where they have heard stories of a possible poltergeist in an Enfield council house. As they investigate, the activity is revealed to be a hoax, but the Warrens suspect that this may not be the case.

This was a very entertaining sequel, and brought back lots of memories of hearing about this story when I was younger. What always makes the conjuring movies so scary is that they don’t try to scare but, instead, portray facts as they took place with very little in the way of glamorising the story. Obviously there are some tweaks to the tale, but this is one of the better horror movies I’ve seen in recent years.
