The Conjuring 2 opens with notorious ghostbusters Ed ( Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren ( Vera Farmiga) investigating the aftermath of the murders that became known as “The Amityville Horror.” Lorraine has a unique ability to communicate with supernatural beings and has been asked to confirm that what happened at Amityville was demonic in nature and not just a homicidal patriarch.
While sitting around a table in the DeFeo dining room, Lorraine has an out-of-body experience that allows her to see the shotgun murders that took place in the house and a “Demon Nun” ( Bonnie Aarons) , which is literally how the recurring vision is listed in the credits, whowill haunt Lorraine throughout the film, and issue a warning that Ed’s days are numbered.
