Plodding along with suspicions by the skeptical Dr. However, just a little over halfway into its 134-minute runtime, the film is no longer a paranormal shocker, in spite of Burgess and Bishara's excellent contributions. Later, when the Hodgson house turns into a haunted carnival-like ride, Burgess's cinematography is terrifically complemented by Joseph Bishara's deceptively simple but dreadfully bloodcurdling musical score. Wilson's heartwarming rendition of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love" remains blanketed by a gray overcast and an understated palette. Don Burgess's photography is faultless, amplifying the apprehension with a spine-tingling atmosphere that seems to permeate even the most tender moments with a feeling of uneasiness. So, it's a shame when that momentum effectively established early on can't be sustained to the end, as it was in its predecessor. This is one of the production's better aspects, which is to be expected in a supernatural popcorn flick. Lorraine is also tormented by visions of a terrifying creature with glowing eyes and dressed in a nun outfit - an inhuman presence unnerving enough to earn its own movie. The children's single mother Peggy (Frances O'Connor) struggles to make sense of furniture moving on its own, mysterious noises echoing in other parts of the house and the creepy voice of a 70-year-old coming out of Janet. And once again, Wan and his team deliver several hair-raising scares, switching back and forth between both continents. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic in the north London boroughs of Enfield, the Hodgson family is being terrorized by a malevolent spirit targeting middle child Janet (a giftedly convincing Madison Wolfe). On the whole, it's a competent follow-up, picking up at the tail-end of the Warrens' most famous documented case at the Amityville house, an experience that left Lorraine (an adequate Vera Farmiga) fearing the life of her husband Ed (a much more likable Patrick Wilson). That's not meant to imply it's a bad movie, which picks up six years after the events of the first.
If it seems as though I'm somewhat slow on sharing my direct thoughts about the sequel, it's because I am. If he continues this sort of success, I almost half expect to see the title card "James Wan presents" at the start of many features. Wan is also directing 'Aquaman' while attached as producer to other projects, such as the 'Mortal Kombat' reboot and MacGyver's return to television this fall. So, it's no surprise New Line Cinema has signed the director to a long-term deal overseeing every aspect of the franchise, including another spin-off called 'The Nun' branching off from this sequel.
And this franchise, in particular, has proven quite lucrative with spin-offs, like ' Annabelle' and its sequel, delivering some satisfying frights.

As with the ' Saw' and ' Insidious' movies, ' The Conjuring' series is his own creation, his thriving baby with huge profit margins. But does that really count since the franchise was already riding the money-making gravy train due to an established loyal fan base? I think not. Well, unless we take into account he also drove last year's ' Furious 7' to juggernaut success. James Wan, who has set the world of horror cinema ablaze for the last few years, returns to helm 'The Conjuring 2,' a direct follow-up to his biggest box-office hit to date.
