In 1977, paranormal investigators Ed (Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren come out of a self-imposed sabbatical to travel to Enfield, a borough in north London. There, they meet Peggy Hodgson, an overwhelmed single mother of four who tells the couple that something evil is in her home. Ed and Lorraine believe her story when the youngest daughter starts to show signs of demonic possession. As the Warrens try to help the besieged girl, they become the next targets of the malicious spirit.

Critics Consensus

The Conjuring 2 can't help but lose a bit of its predecessor's chilly sting through familiarity, but what remains is still a superior ghost story told with spine-tingling skill.

3/5

Wan is still effective in creating memorable and horrific imagery that lingers in the mind, as well as moments of levity in-between that are surprisingly genuine and sweet.

It is a basic thing done very well, in many ways a pristine example of what Wan always shows up to do. He's going to keep you anxious -- nothing can feel totally stable when a camera never ceases to move.

What folks aren't really talking about is how romantic the film is.

The love story of the Warrens makes this the best in the series

3/5

Too long by far, James Wan's sequel nevertheless has great set-piece and a hornier version of Ed and Lorraine. As an Enfield Poltergeist/Haunting adaptation, the entire last act is fiction, but Farmiga and Wilson are as watchable as ever

You can't tell from its beginning, but the second Conjuring is even more proficient, deeply troubling, and most of all, bold in the way it renders the possession horror genre a canonical must.

One of the best films in the franchise. Excellent writing, efficient production, and great effects and cinematography. Impeccable performances. A solid story packed with Easter eggs from other films. There are no deaths in the movie, yet it delivers a tense suspense—unlike the *Annabelle* films, which have a lighter atmosphere and more casual humor.
