title:the Conjuring 2 : The Enfield Poltergeist

Peggy Hodgson (Frances O'Connor), a single parent living with her four children, is an unfortunate
family who is the central figure in this event. It all started when Janet (Madison Wolfe), the second
daughter in the family, felt the presence of an old man's spirit bothering her.

It didn't take long for the perceived disturbance to increase. Not only this family, the neighbors to the
police also witnessed the supernatural events that occurred in the house. Researchers and the media
were then interested in opening the veil of mystery in this house.

Meanwhile in the United States, Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga) feels uneasy because she has a
vision that her husband, Ed Warren (Patrick Wilson), will die at the hands of a demon in the form of a
nurse. This made him reluctant to come to Enfield, when asked by the Vatican to investigate the events
experienced by the Hodgson family.

There are several reasons why The Conjuring 2 will be more successful in terrorizing audiences than
the first film. The first, because the atmosphere of horror has gripped the audience since the early
minutes of the film. James Wan, the director of these two horror films, is actually trying to do the same
thing in The Conjuring. But the tension in the opening part of this first film feels very soft when
compared to that which appeared in The Conjuring 2

And what's even more fun—especially for horror movie fans—the tension at the beginning of this film
doesn't stop in just one scene. Almost without stopping, at least in the first 30 minutes the audience was
continuously hit with events beyond reason. Only after that, the audience can breathe a sigh of relief
with the warmth of the Warren couple and the Hodgson family, before being suddenly beaten again by
the film's climax.

This, makes The Conjuring 2 feel a little different from other horror films which generally build a
climax slowly. The setting of the true story in Enfield in 1977, which was already tense from the start,
seemed quite helpful in this unconventional narration.

Like it or not, James Wan still relies on surprising jump scares, similar to the horror films he has
worked on before. But at least, it feels right that James Wan is getting better at pulling and pulling
tensions in this film. He's getting more patient to set the rhythm. Very slowly he builds an atmosphere of
horror and raises tension, before executing the jump scare which becomes the ultimate weapon.

Even the audience, it feels like they will be easily sucked into the world full of horrors that James Wan
built. Moreover, James Wan presents a place and situation that feels familiar to the audience, so it's
easy to arouse the latent fear in the audience's mind.

Remember the feeling of dread when you face a gloomy hallway or a lonely and dark house in the
middle of the night? Things like this are explored by James Wan in The Conjuring 2.

So, don't be surprised if after watching a movie, you will have trouble sleeping. Because as shown in
this film, bedrooms and blankets may not be able to fortify you from the terrible memories left by The
Conjuring 2.
