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. Go to Full Review

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 Go to Full Review
