Huge anticipation,dismal outcome.

Rating: 5/10 (11 June 2016)

What james wan has done for horror films through his directions is that he has somewhat managed to bring the shock factor or rather the jump scares to good use,even though they have been played out since forever ,but that said ,however The conjuring was in absolute total contradiction of horror tactics altogether. The eerie setting and the background score and the fabulous performances made the move a glorious return of the horror genre with respect from both critics and viewers alike. That said,not only does the conjuring 2 looses it's phenomenal status as an anticipated squeal to the most celebrated horror film of the recent era but it brings clichéd horror tactics back to the screen once again leading to nothing but some very little scare.
Mediocre jump scares,unnecessary CGI and okay performances brings the end to what could have been a glorified franchise.I am not disappointed on james wan direction,he does what he does best,the cinematography,the set design everything is apt but it just does not pan out as you want it to be.Another major disappointment for me was Joseph Bishara's rather dull background score. All in all,I had anticipated this movie for a real long time and the past week was the most difficult as I just knew this was going to be a bigger masterpiece unlike it's predecessor and I just could not wait to watch it but alas,it just was a dreadful experience. Absolutely disheartened.
