The children's single mother Peggy (Frances O'Connor) struggles to make sense of furniture moving on its own, mysterious noises echoing in other parts of the house and the creepy voice of a 70-year-old coming out of Janet. And once again, Wan and his team deliver several hair-raising scares, switching back and forth between both continents. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic in the north London boroughs of Enfield, the Hodgson family is being terrorized by a malevolent spirit targeting middle child Janet (a giftedly convincing Madison Wolfe). On the whole, it's a competent follow-up, picking up at the tail-end of the Warrens' most famous documented case at the Amityville house, an experience that left Lorraine (an adequate Vera Farmiga) fearing the life of her husband Ed (a much more likable Patrick Wilson). That's not meant to imply it's a bad movie, which picks up six years after the events of the first. If it seems as though I'm somewhat slow on sharing my direct thoughts about the sequel, it's because I am. If he continues this sort of success, I almost half expect to see the title card "James Wan presents" at the start of many features. Wan is also directing 'Aquaman' while attached as producer to other projects, such as the 'Mortal Kombat' reboot and MacGyver's return to television this fall. So, it's no surprise New Line Cinema has signed the director to a long-term deal overseeing every aspect of the franchise, including another spin-off called 'The Nun' branching off from this sequel. And this franchise, in particular, has proven quite lucrative with spin-offs, like ' Annabelle' and its sequel, delivering some satisfying frights.
THE CONJURING 2 HD RIP SERIES
As with the ' Saw' and ' Insidious' movies, ' The Conjuring' series is his own creation, his thriving baby with huge profit margins. But does that really count since the franchise was already riding the money-making gravy train due to an established loyal fan base? I think not. Well, unless we take into account he also drove last year's ' Furious 7' to juggernaut success. James Wan, who has set the world of horror cinema ablaze for the last few years, returns to helm 'The Conjuring 2,' a direct follow-up to his biggest box-office hit to date.
