The ghost busters of The Conjuring 2 are scary good.

The streamlined elements of the first have now given way to mind-numbing clutter.

The Wrap
Frightening rarely strikes twice in the same place, despite the efforts of so many horror sequels, but even if The Conjuring 2 doesn't deliver the delightful jolts of its predecessor, it maintains a consistent chill throughout.

There are some solid scares (Wan is too gifted in the dark art of gotcha manipulation to not make you leap a few times), but there's nothing on par with the first film's brilliant hide-and-clap scene with Lili Taylor.

Wan has a gift that most slam-bang horror directors today do not: a sense of the audience - of their rhythm and pulse, of how to manipulate a moment so that he's practically controlling your breathing.

After 'Insidious' and 'The Conjuring', James Wan has his method down.

Those after a great, dark story will be impressed, seeing Wan once again deliver truly eerie scenes without the use of cheap tactics.

Hidden somewhere in the murky shadows of The Conjuring 2 is an utterly terrifying 90-minute horror movie that doesn't waste time on repetition, doubts, sidebar stories, or long conversations

James Wan is not only redefining how we think about sequels...but also striving to make his masterpiece.

Audience who saw screenings
A truly original fun but horrifying well made good old fashioned horror movie. Part exorcist, old fashioned black and white chills, and overall excellent film.
Saw a Sneak of this movie today... The Conjuring 2 surprisingly works. Didn't know if James Wan could pull this off, but it is creepy, had great crowd reaction and besides a couple of excessive unnecessary jump scares, it was a well put together film...
Sin lugar a dudas la obra maestra del género. Es una película tremendamente aterradora. Una pesadilla que obliga a odiar la oscuridad y la soledad luego de haberla experimentado. Más que una película, es una experiencia insidiosa que golpea duro
the rare sequel that surpasses the original
Just watched a screening. Really enjoyed it! Solid sequel ??
Wooo are you girls ready??
seems like it'll be another critically acclaimed movie hihi. 83% based on 18 reviews so far.
this one wont do as much, unless it'll be like the 1st that started nice and held up and had crazy longevity cuz of word of mouth.
Sinister was so good but the sequel
