James Wan returns with the conjuring 2 after the events of the first movie Ed & Lorraine Warren have become more recognized after the most recent case of the Amityville haunting. We're then introduced to the Hodgson a woman name Peggy and her four kids down on their luck are beginning to experience strange occurrences in their house so the warrens are sent to London to gather proof. Succeeding in every way that the first film did. The conjuring 2 still holds its roots of suspense and terror with it's reliance on silent atmosphere and subtle Paceing, While still delivering sort of a seclusive atmosphere even though this is being set in a more populated area. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga again give a great performance as the warrens you start to get more in depth into their characters and their relationship to this film. Lorraine is having visions involving Ed and she's beginning to feel that they should probably give up this life in order to save their. You really understand the pain that she's feeling, as they try to bring the family closer together speaking highly on one another. It's because of these two performances you get more of a strong bond between these characters. As for the first the family themselves what screen time The other kids have they get decent performances as does Frances O'Connor as Peggy. However the best performance the one who really goes to Madison wolf as Janet one of the main children believed to be possessed. You're given plenty indication that this is a child that's pretty much depressed and just feel like a target. The way she gives a performance with her face along with ther body language when she possessed, she just does a good job. Another aspect of the movie is that it tries to give is more of a real world perspective as sort of a theme with others claiming the family trying to bank in on the whole claim as Hoax and that really Janet is the problem. Unlike the first one where they eventually explained Bathsheba this movie doesn't explain as much and leave everybody in a shadow of a doubt. You know there's something going on here but you don't exactly know what it gives sort of a mystery. What really build help build the world of these movies is that they don't try to play it off as just a movie they played real serious which Really helps immerse the audience into the Film. The conjuring two as a decent follow up a special film that keeps you curious in what is the come next.
