Series peaked with Conjuring 2


Although Conjuring 2 is still relatively mediocre as far as crowd-pleasing supernatural spooker flicks go, it was way more entertaining and engaging than the boring mess that TDMMDI became.

In this one, there are maybe two decent setpieces that are quite effective, but they're slotted into a film that largely feels bored with itself, and the actors look so disinterested as if they'd rather be somewhere else.

Big disappointment that shows this series' formula has exhausted itself.

You're joking, right?

Conjuring 2 is a horror masterpiece!

Mediocre??? What in the blue hell...

It was okay. I quite like it. It was one of the better flicks I saw in 2016, a largely dismal year in cinema. But these sorts of movies tend to lose me in their final act, where everything becomes a chaotic noise-fest.

Conjuring 2 is a horror masterpiece. It's one of the best horror movies ever made.

All the praise and high ratings show this.

If jump scares and chaotically noisy exorcism climaxes are your thing, then Conjuring 2 is for you. I'm happy for you that you loved it. But if it weren't for Patrick and Vera giving these movies a shot of charm and warmth, they would have been like any other ordinary supernatural horror jump scare fests of the 2010s.

reply

Nope.

Conjuring 2 is a horror masterpiece and it's not only because of jump scares and chaotically noisy exorcism at all. Everything is top notch.

reply

That's nice that you really enjoyed it.

reply

Yes, I'm happy I've enjoyed that masterpiece.

reply

You enjoyed a fairly decent spooker.

reply

No, I enjoyed a factually horror masterpiece.

reply

I'm glad this decent flick pushed your buttons.

reply

I'm glad this undisputed horror masterpiece pushed your buttons as well.

reply

This okayish, conventional spooker is obviously your thing.

reply

This masterful movie is obviously my and your thing.

C2 was awful. I enjoyed this one more.

Conjuring 2 is a masterpiece.

This one is a joke compared to Conjuring 2.
