Parents need to know that The Conjuring 2 is the sequel to 2013’s hit horror movie The Conjuring and is also based on real-life ghost hunters Ed and Lorraine Warren ( Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga).
There’s some bloody violence, open wounds, and gun shots, but the main issue is just how extremely scary it is.
There are lots of jump-shock moments as ghosts and demons attack humans, throwing furniture around, biting, burning faces with steam, and attempting to strangle them. Language is infrequent but includes Pre-teen girls are caught smoking at school ( only one actually smokes) , while adults are shown smoking on other occasions. Pints of beer are seen on a table in a pub.
A boy with a stutter is bullied at school; later, his experience is referred to during an explanation of why it’s important to stand up to bullies. Horror fans who loved the original will definitely want to see this, as it’s a cut above the normal horror fare.
