Avoid

Rating: 5/10 (1 July 2016)

A man I trust very much told me to not see THE CONJURING 2 because it is a bad film. I did not heed his advice because I had just loved THE CONJURING though I had seen it on DVD. So I went to see THE CONJURING 2 in a multiplex. I really should start listening to wise things that people tell me.
THE CONJURING 2 was disappointing. Vera Farmiga, Frances O'Connor, and the child actor Madison Wolfe are the only saving grace. I still don't understand what Franka Potente was doing in this film. I could find only one scare moment in the film➖when the demon makes a sudden appearance before Vera Farmiga's character towards the end of the film. And this wasn't exactly a scare-scare moment, it was a shock-scare moment. In fact, the only exciting part during this film was when in the basement scene with Patrick Wilson and Frances O'Connor, someone in the audience made a scary noise. Quite obviously, the rest of us laughed.
Avoid.
