Director James Wan Declares He Wants To Redefine Horror In The Conjuring 2’s New Featurette

The year’s most highly-anticipated horror film, The Conjuring , will open in theaters in two weeks. A series of featurettes have already been released, one even features REAL recordings from the Warren’s investigation into the Enfield Poltergeist, which the film is based on. A single mother and her children are suddenly plagued by paranormal activity, including levitations, possessions, and physical attacks. It is known as the most investigated supernatural case in history. If that featurette doesn’t scare you, I don’t know what will. The other featurette stars Lorraine Warren and Janet, who was the main target of the activity. Together they discuss the “Strange Happenings” in Enfield. The newest featurette debuted today. It gives us a look inside The Conjuring 2 from director James Wan’s point of view. He also discusses his desire to “redefine horror” and “bring respect back” to studio horror films. I believe he can do just that. He’s a very talented director with great vision. He’s

The Conjuring 2’s New Featurette Contains Real Audio From The Warren’s Investigation

In the Conjuring 2, directed by James Wan, we witness Ed and Lorraine Warren travel to England in the 1970s to investigate the poltergeist activity plaguing a single mother and her children. Referred to as “The Enfield Poltergeist”, the real life haunting is the most well documented paranormal events in history. The Hodgson family experienced voices, levitations, manifestations and violence mainly directed towards one girl, Janet. The Warrens are still recognized as the most famous paranormal/supernatural investigators of all time. In both The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2 the Warrens are played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga. The first film was scary, but I expect the sequel to be terrifying. Franka Potente, Frances O’Conner, David Thewlis, Naria Doyle Kennedy, Javier Jerins, Sterling James, Robin Atkins Downes, Simon McBurney, Madison Wolfe, Shannon Kook, Lauren Esposito and Steve Coulter star along side Wilson and Farmiga. In one featurette for The Conjuring 2 we see the real Lorraine Warren and Janet Hodgson

The Conjuring 2, from director James Wan, the follow up to 2013’s haunting hit, is one the most highly anticipated movies of 2016. One the biggest draws to the film is that it is based on true events. The film, like its predecessor, is based on the investigations of famous paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga. In the film the Warrens arrive in London in the late 1970’s, after looking into the Amityville Haunting, to investigate the intense paranormal happenings a single mother and her children are facing, known as the Enfield poltergeist.
