What to Know

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.

Kambole Campbell One Room With A View 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. Rated: 3/5 Aug 25, 2018 Full Review K. Austin Collins The Ringer 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. Aug 10, 2017 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online What folks aren't really talking about is how romantic the film is. Rated: B+ Mar 21, 2017 Full Review Savina Petkova A Good Movie To Watch 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. Rated: 8.3 Nov 7, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies There is a very old-fashioned horror movie approach to these films that I adore. The sequel wisely embraces that formula while also telling another compelling story from the Warren’s casebook. Rated: 4.5/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Wilson and Farmiga hold the otherwise typical proceedings together, making the usual mechanics of a filmic haunting feel dialed-up on emotional terms. Rated: 3/4 Apr 11, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Angel the movie was pretty exciting and creepy. Really good!!! Good effects, awesome music, nice cinematography. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/04/21 Full Review TROY S The Conjuring 2 doesn't waste time in bringing the scares in. By that, I mean you're pretty much in the thick of it from the get-go, being given some background (via another very notorious haunting incident) for what is to follow. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Nicole N Another excellent horror film in the series. Very creepy and uneasy feeling. These movies are always top notch in the horror genre. Definitely worth watching. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Robert T Even more mid. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review Yenno V Net zoals de eerste film een absolute topper al was die niet beter. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Shannon S Not as engaging as its predecessor, but still packs a bunch of good scares and a decent enough storyline to keep you engaged. But nothing new really. You get what you get and don't really expect too much more really. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
