In 1977, paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren travel to London, England, where single mother Peggy Hodgson (played by Francis O'Connor) believes that something evil is in her home.

Plans for the sequel began even before the release of the first Conjuring, Variety reported that New Line Cinema was already in the early stages of development following the positive test screenings and reviews of the first film. Planning to use the case of the Enfield Poltergeist, which took place in the London Borough of Enfield from 1977 to 1979, and involved the alleged haunting of two sisters, aged 11 and 13, at their mother's council house, screenwriters Chad Hayes and Carey Hayes also planned to "touch on" the Warrens' most famous and most documented case, The Amityville Horror.

Although set in London, The Conjuring 2 spent only 10 days filming in the United Kingdom, the remaining 40 days being shot in Los Angeles. Due to inexplicable eerie events during production of the first film, a priest from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Santa Fe was brought in to bless the set of the sequel by the film's producers. Unlike the original film, which was filmed with hopes of getting a PG-13 rating, the sequel was both written and directed with the intention that it get an R rating (which is in fact what the MPAA granted it).

Early reviews have also been positive. With her review for The Hollywood Reporter, Sheri Linden praised the film, saying: "Three years after The Conjuring rattled the multiplex with old-school horror, director James Wan ups the ante with an excellent sequel." TheWrap's Alonso Duralde gave the film a positive review, stating: "Frightening rarely strikes twice in the same place, despite the efforts of so many horror sequels, but even if The Conjuring 2 doesn't deliver the delightful jolts of its predecessor, it maintains a consistent chill throughout, with a slow and steady dread that creeps up on you over time."
So head out to the multiplex to catch the latest installment, The Conjuring 2!
