Everyone’s favourite horror film has a sequel! Fresh off the success of The Conjuring in 2013, James Wan (“Saw”, “Furious 7”) is back once again at the helm, bringing the scares to the big screen with another real case. These cases are from the files of renowned demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren. (If you haven’t seen The Conjuring yet, please do!)
Reprising their roles from the previous film, Oscar nominees Vera Farmiga (“Up in the Air”) and Patrick Wilson (“Insidious”), star as Lorraine and Ed Warren. In one of their most terrifying paranormal investigations, they travel to North London. Their task: to help a single mother, who is raising four children alone, in a house plagued by malicious spirits.
The story behind Conjuring 2
The case began in London, England in 1977. There, divorced single mother Margaret Hodgson lived with her four children, who ranged in age from seven to 13 at that time. But their happy home life was turned on its head when bizarre phenomena began to occur.
The Hodgson children began to complain that their beds shake in the night, a chest of drawers moves in the dark, and mysterious knocking sounds resound throughout the halls. Later, LEGOs would be seen soaring through the air. At first, Margaret believed her kids were making it up, and throwing the LEGOs about themselves. But as things escalated, she couldn’t ignore that something strange was going on.
Seriously spooky
“Does it feel like it’s coming from inside you?”
“No, it feels like it’s coming from behind me.”
This trailer has got to be one of the most frightening I have ever seen, and that’s saying a lot (As a self-proclaimed horror fan!) Did you know that a priest was called in to bless the set during filming? Spooky eh.
Check it out below!
Don’t just take my word for how unbelievably anticipated this movie is. After two weeks in the top spot, Captain America: Civil War (7.1 million) was overthrown as the most-viewed ‘coming soon’ trailer by the release of The Conjuring 2 trailer (7.3 million).
Excited yet?
Grab your friends, partners, and families and be prepared for the scream fest and nightmares ahead. The Conjuring 2 will be coming to a movie theater near you. I can’t wait!
Release Date: 9 June 2016
