The Conjuring 2

The Conjuring 2

Rating 7.5 out of 10

As I have said several times here I'm not really into "scary" movies.  The Friday the 13th part 7 with heads flying and buckets of blood don't bother me.  They bore me.  The last horror movie I saw and enjoyed was The Conjuring 1 three years ago.  I'm glad to say this movie was nearly as good as the first one and definitely has you setting up in your seats several times.

Like the first movie this is loosely based on the real life ghostbuster couple Ed and Lorraine Warren.  They have become the people you call when your ghost just won't go away and terrorize your family. Six years before they gained worldwide fame when they beat the ghosts out of an old Rhode Island farm house.  Lorraine is wanting to take a break as she is being haunted herself by a scary ghost in a nuns outfit.  When a family in England is being terrorized by an old man ghost they are pulled back into the game.

The Hodgson's are a single mom with four kids living in poverty in small town outside of London.  Dad ran off and impregnated the neighbor lady.  Strange things start happening.  Toys and furniture moved from one place to another.  The ghost steps it up and begins targeting ten year old daughter, Janet.  Things become violent.  That's when the Warrens arrive.  There are some true chills.  The movie is well acted with Patrick Wilson (rocking the lamb chop sideburns) and Vera Farmiga playing the Warrens.

While overall I was very entertained with this movie I have to ask the obvious question.  Why don't you MOVE???  I know times are tough but if my family is being tossed around like rag dolls by a mad ghost that want's me out you don't have to ask me twice.  My bags are packed.  Still I would recommend this movie and suggest seeing it on a weekend night with a theater full of screaming patrons.  That always makes a scary movie more scary.
