The Conjuring 2
In 2013, James Wan’s The Conjuring—which gave audiences compelling characters to care about, a supernatural mystery to puzzle over, and an abundance of legit frights—earned critical praise while raking it in at the box office. Unsurprisingly, a sequel followed three years later; it sent demon busters Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga) to England to investigate a new haunting. While The Conjuring 2 is definitely interested in expanding the world of the first film, working in tangents involving The Amityville Horror house and an evil nun into the proceedings, it never slacks on its main objective: to scare the bejesus out of you.
