return to greatness, for real

Rating: 8/10 (21 July 2016)

I've avoided new horror films for a few years now, considering they all seem to cater to young audiences with no ability to concentrate or follow a plot. Recently however I've been baffled by a few new comers, such as the Conjuring and its sequel.
Not only is this film scary, it's beautifully shot, and the set dressing is quite simply astonishing. Some of the gags come a bit out of nowhere, but overall the atmosphere is great. The film has an attention to detail you just don't see very often.
The con artists whose adventures this series is based on have a long list of other exploits, and I really hope there will be a whole slew of films like this one.
