Welcome to another edition of Adam's Reviews!!
**queue intro music**
Since its all hallows eve, lets continue with the supernatural elements.
Tonight's movie review is the supernatural horror flick The Conjuring 2 (2016) helmed by the original directed, James Wan who gives us a story based on the real-life paranormal investigations of Ed and Lorraine Warren.
The story is set in 1977 and follows the Warrens as they travel to England to help a single mother, Peggy Hodgson, and her four children, who are experiencing disturbing and supernatural events in their home. The family is haunted by a malicious spirit, and the Warrens must uncover the truth behind the haunting while facing their own fears and challenges.
Even though the movie is horrifying, and you definitely are on the edge, the themes of family and sticking with each other and backing each family member against a bully is heart-warming and emotional. This can be seen with Ed telling the kids to be there for each other whilst playing an Elvis hit song "Fool Rush In."
The sequel is a great entry and does what a sequel needs to do - up the ante of jump scares and answer unanswered questions that were introduced in the first with a great link to this sequel.
The filmmakers provide suspense to the Enfield Haunting by giving us a new terror - the black-eyed spectre known as Valak, who dresses as a warped Nun figure - this thing is creepy and terrifying. The demonic entity haunts Lorraine from the get-go which gives us clues to why Lorraine doesn't want to help anyone in need. A scene to mention is when Lorraine is searching for evidence in the basement and comes across a painting of the Nun, this is when the painting's eyes move and the Nun's face appears right next to Lorraine's, creating a jump scare that legit made me jolt. Another standout moment featuring the character of the Nun is when Lorraine sees the shadow of the Nun walking across the wall, creating a creepy and unsettling atmosphere.
Madison Wolfe who plays the youngest daughter shines as the possessed English girl and really gives you a nuance performance of whether this character is telling the truth or is actually experiencing the paranormal.
Overall this movie is a must watch for you horrorfreaks out there 8/10.
