A beautiful love story within a horror film

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2016)

We loved it! Rarely is a sequel better than the original and The Conjuring 2 definitely delivers. We were on the edge of our seats for most of the film. I liked that the film wasn't one sided. It gave room for skepticism. The Warrens weren't there to convince anyone of the paranormal but to help the family.
This is definitely the first horror film I ever cried at, not from fear (though there was plenty of that), but from the undeniable love between the Warrens. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson have great chemistry.
Another first was after that breathe-taking climax of an ending the audience in my theater gave a round of applause. I've never seen that happen during a horror film.
I can see The Conjuring franchise continuing for years to come when they're this well directed, produced and acted. I know I'd love to see more about the Warren's cases. Especially the Amityville case.
