The fact that The Conjuring 2 is based on fact helps lift the film to a different level, but I think the English setting and thesps give this go-round a little more gravitas. It also helps to have Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga returning in the roles of the Warrens. Lorraine Warren was very reluctant to get involved after the trauma of Harrisville and, at least in this film version, has visions of very bad vibes should they travel to England to help out here. But Ed believes that is their mission, even if doubts surface that what is happening is real. Of course, when all hell breaks loose, it’s hard to believe it could be simply the work of this one young child.
