The Conjuring 2

When reports of strange activity surface in a North London council house, paranormal investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren answer the call. A single mother is raising four children there, and one child in particular experiences violent, inexplicable phenomena that draw public attention and media scrutiny. The Warrens set up to observe, separating documented incidents from hysteria as the hostility in the house escalates. Lorraine's sensitive perceptions and Ed's calm confidence guide their attempts to protect the family and identify what is driving the disturbances, while the case forces them to juggle professional obligations, doubt, and the very human stakes of a terrified household. The case attracts media attention and skeptical locals, turning private terror into a very public ordeal quickly.

Released in 2016 and directed by James Wan, The Conjuring 2 was written by Carey and Chad Hayes with Wan, and stars Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Madison Wolfe and Frances O'Connor, serving as a sequel inspired by the Enfield case.

It performed strongly at the box office, opening well and keeping steady legs through word of mouth and franchise interest, drawing large audiences worldwide and reinforcing the Conjuring series' commercial strength. It boosted home viewership and repeat attendance among fans.

Its tense set pieces and period atmosphere helped popularize the modern haunted-house template and expanded the cinematic universe that grew into multiple spin-offs. The Enfield material renewed interest in the original case and in folklore surrounding poltergeist events, and its visuals and sound design are often referenced in horror discussions.

Critical response leaned positive, reflected in a 7.294/10 user vote average, with reviewers praising Farmiga and Wilson and the film's mood. Many noted themes of faith, family protection and trauma, while some critics pointed to reliance on familiar scares and uneven pacing. Performances anchored the more conventional horror beats effectively.
