The Conjuring 2 - in which romance meets horror and a creepy nun fucks everyone up. First of all, this is another real case the Warrens worked, and the girls from the family are on the BD extras. Lorraine Warren is feeling rough from the exorcism she was party to recently, and she wants to take some time off from fighting monsters, and stick to lecturing. Ed is of course supportive, and for some reason she doesn't tell him that she has been seeing the horrifying monster nun Ed paints, because he is strong, hot, and also an artist. So, there is a family in northern London (for an accent, think Scary Spice AKA Mel B) with two boys and two girls, and just one mum, and they have been living in their house for a while, but the ghost of the old man who died there starts messing with the daughter, Janet. She stays home from school one day because she's sick, and he keeps changing her TV channel, and then he aggressively appears to her and yells at her to get out of the house. The Enfield haunting, as it came to be called, also has this amazing creepy Crooked Man that popped out of a toy and scared the shit out of everyone. Like, the second night of the haunting, the ghost moves all of the girls' furniture in front of the mom, so they run across the street and stay with neighbors. They call the police, and the ghost also messes with the coppers. The media gets a hold, and the story blows up, and so strangers come by and latch onto the situation to either communicate with the spirit, or to debunk the family's stories. Ed and Lorraine gets pulled in when the Catholic Church wants to investigate, but the situation is too hot for them to be seen there, so they send the Warrens in. The Enfield family is in so much pain, its hard for the Warrens to leave, even though Lorraine keeps saying she can't feel any presence, BUT she neglects to mention that she is feeling this pressing evil following her around, which is ironic, because it turns out to be the evil that has been haunting Lorraine, that is haunting the Enfield family. This gross demon, Valek, has been puppetting the ghost of the old man, and has full on possessed poor little Janet by the climax of the film. It is also somehow about Ed and Lorraine trusting each other, and using their loving relationship as a light during all the darkness they face, on the regular. Lorraine ends up saving both Ed and Janet, and the family gets to move back into their house. Its amazing.
