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.

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

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.

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

Rated: B+

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

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

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

Diet Dr. Paul .

I honestly think this is far superior to its predecessor, shaking out some actual tension by comparison… albeit not enough to warrant a third or fourth installment. Probably 30 minutes too long for the story that was being presented.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
