“Conjuring 2 sucks you into the horror you see on screen making you run for cover in your mind.” – A.T.M reviews,

BASED ON A TRUE EVENT—

The story revolves around the Hodgson family living on the green street, discovering strange occurrences within their home. Janet (Madison Wolfe), the youngest daughter, is seen sleepwalking and conversing in her dreams as two different people.

Eventually, all siblings of the house and their mother Peggy (Frances O’Connor) witness paranormal events occurring right before their eyes, forcing them to seek assistance.

This is when the film starts to pace up.

For assistance when the Hodgson family approaches the Priest, the Priest approaches the paranormal investigators Ed(Patrick Wilson) and Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga), for the Church needs some proofs of paranormal activities to interfere in a case, so Ed and Lorraine were requested to become the eyes and ears of the church.

Meanwhile some news reporters try to interview the siblings, as they(Siblings) claimed to be the eyewitnesses of the paranormal activities. This is when family and the interviewers come to know that Janet is possessed by the spirit of Bill Wilkins (Bob Adrian), the previous owner of the house, who wants to claim his territory.

While staying at the Hodgson residence, Ed and Lorraine consult with other paranormal investigators, including Maurice Grosse (Simon McBurney) and Anita Gregory(Franka Potente), on the legitimacy of the case.

They also attempt to communicate with Wilkins' spirit, hoping to convince him to leave the house. Which further worsens the situation.

While this journey goes on, there is an interesting twist in the story, I’ll not reveal it right now for it will ruin the fun of watching this film, but still a little a clue from my side I would say - ‘ the hunter is not actually the hunter’.

Now the readers might understand what the twist might be. The audience really enjoyed watching this twist on screen, hats off to the director.

This film also shows the dilemma of a wife (Lorraine) between her work and her love, as Lorraine once had a vision that her husband(Ed) would die by being impaled by some sharp object while solving a case, and towards the end of the film a lightning strike hits a tree near the house, leaving a jagged stump resembling the object that impaled Ed in Lorraine's vision which further scares her.

But how did she deal with this dilemma?? What happened to the Hodgson’s family?? Which lasting impact was left to this family?? Watch this amazing yet horrifying film to answer these questions.
