What kind of watch this is
James Wan directs this 134-minute horror film, which follows Ed and Lorraine Warren as they travel to north London. Their new case involves a house where a single mother raising four children alone is being tormented by malicious spirits. The movie leans on the famous tagline claiming it is the next true story from the Warrens' case files. It is a slow-burn exorcism that trades jump scares for a sense of creeping, domestic dread. The atmosphere is heavy, relying on the quiet fear of a home that has become a prison. It asks you to believe in the real-world horror of a place that refuses to let you go.
What the critics said
The reviews lean positive, though not overwhelmingly. Rotten Tomatoes reports 80% of 253 critics gave it a thumbs up, with an average score of 6.8/10. Metacritic sits lower at 65/100, a range it labels generally favorable. The consensus argues the sequel loses a bit of its predecessor's chilly sting through familiarity, but remains a superior ghost story. Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter called it an excellent sequel that ups the ante. Owen Gleiberman of Variety offered a more mixed take, noting it provides reassurance alongside the fear.
How it did with audiences
The Conjuring 2 cost $40 million and took in $320 million worldwide. That is a solid return, though the math gets tighter when you look closer. Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit at $98.3 million, placing it as the 14th-most profitable release of 2016. On TMDB, users rate it 7.3 out of 10. Audiences voted with their wallets, if not their stars.
What came next for the cast
Before 2016, Vera Farmiga was known for The Departed and Patrick Wilson for Prometheus. Both also starred in the first Conjuring. Afterward, Farmiga joined the Godzilla franchise and Wilson appeared in Aquaman. Madison Wolfe moved from Joy to Malignant. The credits list what they did next. They do not explain why.
