The Conjuring 2 DVD Review
07:00:00
Good Morning Lovelies,
When it comes to horror films I don’t like to think of them
being so close to home. But in the case of The Conjuring 2, it is actually a
story based on a home only 20 minutes away from me. And weirdly this intrigued
me quite a bit.
For many the story of the Enfield home that was and
continues to be haunted by a poltergeist is well known. However in The
Conjuring 2 they take us back in time for another trip. This one is a lot more
sinister, dark and well ghoulish to be honest. After a successful first film,
the story in this one needed to be amped up and this it was.
The return of the previous characters make the case seem
more real. You feel as though you are following them on a trail and this
ultimately leads you into the horror and scares. There are tons of scares in
fact.
The people behind these films know how to get an audience to
react. When a certain nun appears behind the lead character, you will never be
prepared. Stomachs will drop and you will flinch back in your chair because of
it.
Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga have worked hard together to
bring us a romantic couple but also a pair who are not afraid to test their
limits. Both try their hardest to get the audience to feel something. Whether
it is happy or sad, audiences know that this story will not be leaving them for
a long time.
Overall for a sequel the film is a successful one. It
doesn’t make you go back in time. You are not trying to compare them. You are
in fact in the heart (not a gore reference) of a new story. One that audiences
know more about but get something new from.
This is why I am giving this ghoulish treat...
