4. The Conjuring 2 (2016)
Ed and Lorraine Warren are back at it again with probably one of the best horror sequels to exist. Even though it’s much longer than the original (137 min), it still has something to say which is a big struggling point for most sequels. Instead of just playing off the first film, it expands the back story of the family, giving the film a much deeper emotional depth. James Wan even goes as far as tying it in with Ed and Lorraine’s character arcs, making them likable enough to care about their well being during the very intense climax.
While not as tight as the first one, The Conjuring 2 is sure to scare viewers almost as much as the first, and while not as memorable, will still leave an impact because that’s what James Wan does.
Streaming on Netflix.
