The conjuring : a Series

Rating: 6/10 (12 April 2017)

James Wan continues the series that gripped America and made us sleep with the lights on, with an admirable follow up to the first Conjruing film. The first half of the movie had terrifying scenes that build tension and dread that really stick with the viewer. Wan uses camera angles that are incredibly effective that magnify the scares. While the movie was effectively scary, it did not match the flair of the first film. The first film, built the tension much more effectively, and the sense of dread was more prevalent. Again this film was creepy, it really was, it just didn't have those moments that stuck with me like the first film did, and that is the challenge with sequels overall in trying to outdo the first film. I will say the young actress who was targeted by the presence in the film was absolutely fantastic and stole the scenes. Again good movie, with good scares, just not on the level of the first film.
