The tough thing about
documentary-style horror films, is that it takes a lot of setup time before the
scary stuff starts to happen. That’s the
main problem with Writer/Director/ Producer James Wan’s The Conjuring 2.
When you start to add in
the usual stupid moves of characters that are typical to most horror films, you
make some of your viewers…like me…start to drift off.
The saving grace or, in
this case, graces of The Conjuring 2, however, are
actresses Vera Farmiga, who I’ve never seen give less than a top-notch
performance, and Madison Wolfe, who plays the spirit-afflicted young British
girl. They are enough to bring the film
to life and add the essential spookiness.
I give The
Conjuring 2 a 3 out of 5.
