"The Conjuring 2", like "The Conjuring", is based on real events. This time the story is based on the 1977 London Enfield haunted incident. Every character in the film can find its real prototype, and the film is also released at the end. Compared with the real-life prototype photos and the movie stills, it can be seen from the photos that Wen Ziren restores the characters and scenes to a high degree, but the demon image is shaped by him as a ghost nun, which also makes it better related to other The Conjuring Universe series of movies. And what makes me more horrified about this real incident is that the prototype of the heroine in the movie happened to die on the sofa where the old man died in reality.
My first impression of "The Conjuring 2" is that the fright points are denser than the previous one. I'm afraid the terrifying atmosphere created by the young genius Wen Ziren is not based on tricks, but by grasping your little nerves in great detail. You will clearly know this scene. There will be scary points, but I just don’t know when it will happen. It feels like someone has given an injection to the buttocks. I know that I will be stabbed sooner or later, but I am still nervous to death after I have prepared enough psychologically, because you You never know when it's going to poke you. To give an example in the movie, the little boy encountered a toy car on his way back to his room in the middle of the night. When he pushed the toy car back into the tent, he found something strange. He looked back at the tent once, twice or three times. Most of the audience here should be able to expect it. The toy car will be launched again, but the director made a scary move after several "plays". He was caught off guard and played an interaction. The deepest is the nun in the oil painting, the atmosphere created by the lighting and music should not be too good.
However, in the second half of the story, the rhythm accelerated, and the ghosts also came out directly. Just after that, I felt less scary. The impact of the story was not as strong as the previous one, but it also added a lot of human touch, especially at the end, there was a very warm reaction. Turn, the two sets of audio are superimposed to find the reversal of the clues of the big boss. It is really beautiful! If you are looking for shortcomings, it may be that you don’t know much about Western exorcists and demons. I don’t understand why he surrendered after saying the demon’s name and reading a scripture. I don’t understand why the nun was looking for that girl and Also find two other ghosts to hide their eyes. In addition, I don't know if I want to ambush the Conjuring Universe. Many of the detailed films have not given satisfactory explanations, such as why the nun appeared in the house of the exorcist couple, what did Ed pick up the braces for, and why there was only a little girl Possessed, what is the hunchback ghost and so on.
Although "The Conjuring 2" is a sequel to "The Conjuring", except for the exorcist couple and a few scenes mentioned, the plots of the two are not much related. In fact, it was not until "Annabelle 2" that the Conjuring universe was officially opened. The previously filmed "The Conjuring", "The Conjuring 2" and "Annabelle" were also included in the Conjuring Universe series. Finally, the timeline of The Conjuring Universe was sorted out: "The Nun" (1952) --- "Annabelle 2" (1955) ) --- "Annabelle" (1967) --- "The Conjuring" (1971) --- "The Conjuring 2" (1976) (Haven't seen "The Curse of the Weeping Woman" and "Annabelle 3")
