I have been waiting for a entertaining horror sequel.

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2016)

I was looking forward to a actual good horror movie for quite some time now and here comes "The Conjuring 2". Which is actually an effective horror movie. It isn't one of the most horrifying movie I have seen but it's is executed quite well. James Wan who has been directing horror movie after horror movie has got his formula down now. Plus for a horror movie the budget this time around is quite high for a horror movies. Thanks the success of the previous "The Conjuring" movie. Three things that make this movie work is the imagery and how they utilize the set pieces and environments to build tension. It really brings out the horror mainly because of the creepy imagery. The second, is how it goes in a quite clever direction and execution when it comes to the twist and turns. It actually makes the audiences try to think and guess certain scenarios. And the revelations was done in a quite smart manner. The third is the acting, even the child actors managed to pull it off. Which is a key factor when it comes to a movie such as this. I am a bit numb to horror movies as this stage, but there were few parts where I was actually a bit tense. Some of the audiences reactions were just priceless. The guy next to me had his whole face covered and was sliding down on his chair while saying "this is too scary". Usually when it comes to horror sequels it's usually not as good as the original...But good job James Wan. The evil entity I couldn't help but think of Marilyn Manson.
8/10
