Featured review
The Nun and Crooked Man were unnecessary
The Conjuring felt so grounded, making it all the more terrifying. I was expecting the same from this sequel, but the over-the-top scenes with the Nun and Crooked Man really made me hesitant to finish watching (forced additions by the studio to push The Conjuring "universe"?).
I'm glad that I continued watching, though, because Ed Warren's first interaction with the demon speaking through Janet was masterfully done... aaaaand of course they had to bring the Nun and Crooked Man back... and the hanging on to the curtains for dear life... I... I just can't.
I wanted The Conjuring 2 to be so much more considering the director AND writers returned, but it just ended up feeling like another cash-grab sequel to push a "cinematic universe." James Wan is one of my favorite horror directors and I remember Insidious: Chapter 2 being pretty good, so this was unfortunately a huge disappointment.
