Joblo | ‘The Conjuring 2’ Review

Joblo

It all adds up to a very entertaining horror romp, with some terrific set-pieces, including an extended finale that throws everything at you but the kitchen sink. While far from subtle, the score by Joseph Bishara helps ratchet up the tension making this more of a thrill-ride than all-out horror, although the first film was more-or-less the same. Certainly it’s an extremely effective genre outing and Wan, now much in-demand for action epics, still seems to relish his ghost stories. It’s easy to imagine him checking-in on the Warrens every few years in between his higher-profile projects, and I have a sneaking suspicion that for however many sequels have failed financially this year, The Conjuring 2 won’t be one of them.
