So I finally have the chance to check this sequel out. I have heard it's pretty good. Will it be as good as the first one is what I wonder. Annabelle was such a fail so I mean this has to be way better than that. I mean James Wan is directing this so that's a huge plus. His only fail was the first Insidious which I absolutely hated. David Johnson who wrote Wrath of the Titans and Orphan joins the writing crew. His worst work was the Red Riding Hood movie that was done like Twilight. Carey and Chad Hayes return from writing the first film. Some of their other work includes Whiteout and The Reaping. A few of the characters from the first one return again here. Now on to the movie. I knew it! That's actually a pretty cool idea to include that within this story. That is a creative and creepy way of reimagining that. What a great way to open this movie! Good lord this was one creepy story. In fact it's probably one of the best in awhile. The jump scares got me a few times. The sense of impeding dread kept me on the edge of my seat. The real scares really got me at some points. I nearly went to sleep with the lights on. I normally don't get chilled by these kinds of movies if that tells you anything. The ghosts were especially creepy looking. I do wish that these types of movies had some other things besides just scares, but this one worked very well without blood and gore. I loved all the warm little moments that happened throughout the chaos of the haunting. The acting was great of course. I always adore Vera Farmiga. I also think Patrick Wilson is an under utilized actor. I'm just glad there hasn't been Lin Shaye in this series. I liked that they added the real recordings and pictures during the credits and gave some details of the events. The one thing about hauntings is that you can never know how real it is until it happens to you. Sure there are many falsities considering they didn't have much to do with the case, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. I would definitely recommend checking this one out for the frights and entertainment. It was totally worth it.
