As good as the great original

Rating: 9/10 (11 June 2016)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"The Conjuring 2" (2016) for me was probably the best horror movie i've seen since, well... "The Conjuring". Try to skip all trailers and watch this movie in a movie theater - it's a truly one scary and superbly crafted ride.
James Wan is definitely a horror movie pro - he knows the genre very well and delivers everything you would expect from this kind of flick and more, much more. Just take the ending scene - you won't expect this kind of closing (no spoilers) scene after all the horror we witnessed during the whole 2 h 15 min. superbly paced ride - a scene which will definitely generate some applauding from audience (at least in my local theater it did). Or take the one were Patrick Wilson character "interogates / talks" with the possessed girl with everyone including him turned away from here - it is a long, one shoot - killer scene.
Overall, "The Conjuring 2" was better then i expected it to be. I loved the first movie, witch wasn't perfect, but was a great horror movie. Before attending the screening i had doubts that they probably won't achieve the success of the first movie. I was wrong. It is as good as the original. It is superb sequel in all directions. "The Conjuring" franchise THIS quality is very welcomed.
