The movie is fancastic.
The latest instalment of the horror franchise The Conjuring is here and this time, it’s double the ghost and double the scare.
Rarely are sequels better than their predecessors. When it comes to horror films, that is even rarer. But James Wan and his gang have delivered a really well-made The Conjuring 2 that is consistently engaging, definitely better than the first part, and this time, things are not just scary, but at times, funny as well.
The Conjuring 2 is that there are two ghosts haunting the characters this time. One, the aforementioned ghost, is the spirit of an old, cranky man who refuses to leave the haunted house and shows up at inopportune moments behind children, shouting, This is my house, and scaring them. He is more or less a troll in the scheme of things
There’s another character in the movie, tall and dressed in a pink suit and bowl hat, who shows up twice to scare the kids, and disappears without a trace; it’s not clear whether this is a separate character.
