I loved the first film when it came out, and from the reviews/acclaim its on par if not superior to the first. I think the Conjuring franchise has the potential to be among the best in modern horror at imo. I'll be seeing this next Wednesday, looking forward to it!

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: That painting scene was horror gold. Jesus.[spoiler]
I will say that I'm not a fan of [spoiler]happy endings in horror movies though. I didn't like that about the first either. Too feel goody for a horror movie.
I get the feeling I should wait for home and skip the theater. I would probably laugh all the way thru it....especially when that dumb looking nun shows up...

Never cared how much a movie grosses.
Thats no assurance of quality -cough Avatar was awful cough- to me.
Annabelle was incredibly boring to me for the most part, though i did like the Conjuring itself.
I'll skip C2 in the theater but catch it at home eventually.
I enjoyed the story and thought the chemistry between the family and Ed/Lorraine was well done. They genuinely seemed to fight to protect these people and only left when they thought it was faked, for me at this point its about a good story as opposed to being "frightened' by a movie. I liked how they tied in everything involving the Valak entity, and just thought the film had a lot of thought put into it. I enjoyed it as much as I did the first film
