The Conjuring 2 Review
12 June 2016
The Conjuring 2 is directed by James Wan and stars Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson. The Conjuring 2 is an excellent horror movie and just a flat out great movie in general. From the camera-work to the performances this movie delivers on all fronts. The plot follows a family in poverty in Einfield,England that start experiencing strange happenings in their home. After things become much worse over a period of time The Warrens are contacted to come and help. This is a very scary movie thanks to James Wan's direction from lingering and tracking shots he is truly a master behind the camera. The scares come quite often as scenes will linger and bring a huge sense of tension and get you when your not expecting it bringing some very frightening scenes. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilsons performances are excellent as you buy into their relationship and learn some lessons on marriage. The children actors have the be given credit too as they are great in this film. These kids are terrified of the haunting and you will feel their dread. I am so satisfied with this film generally people worry about horror sequels usually because they can turn out unsuccessful, but I am happy to report as a big fan of the first movie this is just as great.

Sinister 2 (2015)

Sinister 2
24 August 2015
Sinister 2 is a sequel to the 2012 sleeper hit Sinister starring returning actor James Ransone as deputy So and So. What made Sinister so scary and disturbing is all but gone in the sequel. Sinister 2 picks up with So and So trying to stop Buhguul's reign of terror and while doing so runs into a family on the run from their abusive father. Sinister 2 lacks the scares and uneasiness felt by the first film. Starting with the snuff films though more gruesome and elaborate in Sinister 2 somehow aren't as disturbing as they were in Sintister as is Buhguul, where as you only caught glimpses of him in the first film he is front and center here (as are the children) taking away what made him so frightening in Sinister. In short Sinister 2 is a very, very disappointing sequel to a great horror flick. 4/10
