Diabolically Suspenseful

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2016)

Conjuring 2 goes back to the roots of horror movies. Yes you have classic horror movie clichés and plot twists. But this movie does these clichés at the peak of their level.
Based of a real life event (Enfield case), the story follows a family in London which is being tormented by a ghost. Essentially they seek out help in getting rid of the ghost; which brings back Ed and Lorraine from the first conjuring.
I cant credit this movie enough for its cinematography, consistently from scene to scene you are put straight in the movie with the rest of the characters. Top that with ingenious scene transitions and long shots which reveal things in the corner of your eye. Plus the jump scares don't feel cheap but earned from the way this movie creates suspense, which is rare these days as most jump scares are just thrown at the audience for no real reason.
Surprisingly I was also very invested in the characters, the family was very close and caring during such a tough time. Plus Ed and Lorraine had the cutest relationship IN A HORROR MOVIE. Which just makes you want to root for them throughout the movie.
This is a MUST see horror, it does everything right from story its characters to how its presented if only other horror movies to come learned from this masterpiece.
