Rare is the sequel that surpasses the original. The Conjuring 2 is just that kind of unicorn though. Not only is it better in some ways than the original it does this while being part of the horror genre. Stop right there if the categorization of ‘horror’ puts you off from wanting to see The Conjuring 2 and consider how you might define horror.
We’re just joking about the semi-haunted swag. But after viewing The Conjuring 2 you might believe in a very large struggle of good and evil. The film portrays a family whose young teen girls were playing with a Ouiji Board and opened the door to a really evil spirit that takes over the house and one of the girls. This is one of the true tales from Ed and Lorraine Warren investigated during their decades of research.
Did you see The Conjuring? If not, see it now. It’s a masterpiece of sublime scares that manages to grip viewers without engulfing them in blood and gore. Somewhere in the 80’s ‘horror’ became synonymous with blood and gore, which is unfortunate because those two do not have to go hand in hand with a scary movie. The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2 hit the nail on the horror head. The Conjuring 2 is rated R for terror and horror violence. There isn’t much blood in the film, but there are countless life and death moments, as well as a sense of tension that lasts for 75% of the movie.
