There are some solid scares ( Wan is too gifted in the dark art of gotcha manipulation to not make you leap a few times).
But there’s nothing on par with the first film’s brilliant hide-and-clap scene with Lili Taylor. If there’s going to be a Conjuring 3—and this movie is just decent enough to suggest there will be—our heroes should be a little choosier about which case they dust off next . over all conjuring 2 movie is purfect movie for horror movie lovers.
