More Horrific Trauma!!!

Rating: 9/10 (15 September 2013)

James Wan does it again. He continues the saga of the family that is being haunted by a demonic entity, and this time there are plenty of surprises, and some genuine spooky moments.
For starters, Patrick Wilson takes the spotlight in one of the simultaneous stories and does pretty well, as the man with more than one connection to the after world. The big question is whether he is any help at all this time around. Before you can see, "there she goes again", we are taken on a ride in and out of the after world, the past, and the present is turning out scarier and scarier.
It is always a ton of fun to see professionals like Barbara Hershey take on roles where she is in danger since she's such a powerful presence, and this time she must confront a spirit that's hurting a couple of generations in her family. She enlists the help of three professionals who might need every resource at their disposal to deal with the evil presence.
One of the best parts in part I was the steady hand of the director, as the impending sense of doom took over and had us on the edge of our seats. This time, we are already in the middle of the mess, and it takes more to upset us, but the story is interesting, and things seem to head for absolute tragedy unless something happens, or someone comes to the rescue.
Let's just say the audience will most likely be pleased with the experience, and we are more than ready for the follow up.
