 The Conjuring 2 cinematic trailer

Wan’s role: Director and Writer

The second instalment in Wan’s Conjuring series delivered on the high expectations set by the first.  The scares are not only terrifying, they are artful.  From the Crooked Man’s uncanny smile to the glowing eyes of the Nun, all the film’s scares are well-conceived and effective.

The Warrens are paranormal investigators that are called in to investigate the daughter of a single mother who is showing signs of demonic possession.  It’s a pretty typical ghost story, but expertly executed.
