Certainly not as good as the first one


I've watched this yesterday and for some reason it just didn't click with me. The first one did much more for me. Maybe it's just me, but i also thought they showed the enemy/ghost/creature too many times and it never really was scary at all. That or horrors just can't scare me at all anymore.

personally i think that both are amazing but the 2nd one is slightly better.

I enjoyed this one more than the first

I also enjoyed this one more than the first. The demon nun alone is enough to make it scarier than the original. Even the cheap scares were better. The girl who played Janet was amazing, and the characters overall were more charismatic. Overall, a sequel better than the original imho.

I absolutely agree. I liked the variety of ghosts and demons in The Conjuring 2. Yes, as a horror movie buff, I have to say the demon nun was the scariest horror scene I have seen in a long time.

I really enjoyed both, and though I still prefer the first, I have to say this sequel was just as superb.

Ass holes and opinions: Everyone has one.



I like 2 better than 1. 

Life can be arbitrary and comes without a warranty.

I agree and disagree. It's definitely not quite as good as the 1st both as a movie and horror wise, as I feel they showed too much and it went the way of Insidious towards the end (with the ridiculous Crooked Man). However, the scene in the Warren's house with the nun painting is one of the most unwatchably tense scenes I've ever sat through. My heart was racing

Anyone calling either of these films amazing are pure idiots and have no business watching "horror" films.

reply

Agreed! I liked both movies but if i have to choose, i prefer the first one...
