Our take on The Conjuring 2

James Wan's 2016 horror film sends paranormal investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren to north London, where a single mother is raising four children alone in a house tormented by malicious spirits. Wan leans on his patient command of atmosphere and staging, building dread through space, sound and slowly tightening tension before its scares land. It suits viewers who prefer their horror grounded in a haunted-house framework and an emotionally invested family under siege, rather than relentless gore. If you like classic supernatural chills carried by the Warrens' steady presence and a craftsman's sense of timing, this delivers a sustained, unsettling mood built to make you brace for what's coming.
