Scarier than the actual events

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2018)

The Conjuring 2 doesn't rely on jump scares, gore or CGI to frighten you, it creates an atmosphere of terror that surrounds you almost the entire time. And yet, at the core of this movie, you have remarkable performances by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga to keep you from losing all hope. It's a strange, yet satisfying mix of chilling and uplifting. James Wan knows how to direct horror films.
