A great horror flick to watch on a Friday night

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2017)

The Conjuring 2 shows us the case of a family who is being haunted by the spirit of a man who used to live in their house when he was alive. He speaks and acts through Janet, one of the kids that live in the house and everything starts to go down for the family.
First of all, this movie isn't related to the first one so you can watch it even when you haven't seen the first Conjuring movie.
This is one of those stories we've heard and seen a million times before but the director James Wan presents it in such a fresh way that doesn't look full of clichés even when it has a few, like every other horror movie out there. The acting by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga is great as it is expected, but the performance that really stands out, at least in my opinion, is the one from Madison Wolfe, who plays Janet, the 11 years old girl. She gives such a believable performance that I think is great and I would like to see what she does in the future.
As the story goes on, the movie becomes even creepier with every scene. There aren't as many jump-scares as you would expect from an ordinary horror movie and the ones that are there are completely justified and they have a reason to be there, and this is something that James Wan always makes a good job like in his other movies like The Conjuring and the first two Insidious movies. I think the cinematography is great, I like the atmosphere they created inside the house even when it's daytime.
So, should you watch it? Of course! It is one of the best horror movies of the last decade. It has great acting, a great atmosphere and you will definitely have a good time, especially if you watch it with your friends or your partner.
