Written by Scott Edwards There are many skeptics out there that don’t believe that there is anything paranormal happening around the world, even when there are so many reports to back them up. You will never believe it, even if you see it with your own eyes and while that is understandable, I still am left to question, why the closed mind? I know my life goal is to become a ghost that comes out of nowhere, frightens the crap out of people in a hotel and gets recognized for doing so. I know not everybody has that lifelong ambition, but as I have said before, I am far from a normal person. After investigating the Amityville house and coming to the conclusion that Lusk was not alone while he killed his family, Lorraine Warren is ready to take a step back once again. Being grilled on national television about herself and husband Ed being a sham, and seeing a new demon in her dreams, Lorraine wants to take it slow and make sure that the vision she has seen with her husband being killed never comes true. But the Warrens work is never done and when the church comes calling for a consult, Ed is more than willing to say yes and Lorraine will not allow him to go on his own. Across the pond in London, England; Peggy Hodgson is having a difficult time making ends meet, much less keeping her family fed. Getting word from school that her daughter Janet was caught smoking outside, she cannot keep herself from listening to the reason behind it. Trying to plead her case, Janet has something that will take her mind off of things, a spirit board that she and a friend made at school. Trying to ask it questions with her sister Margaret, no answers come their way, but something is awakened in the house. Having terrible dreams, Janet fears for her family’s safety and tries to scare off whatever spirit she has awoken, but the old man is not going anywhere. As the haunting starts to get stronger in the house, no one is immune to the spirit’s devious tricks and once Peggy sees a dresser being pushed along the floor with no one behind it, she starts to fear what is happening in her house. With the police witnessing the strange happenings in the house, they can only file a report which will do nothing for the struggling family. But when a reporter comes calling and is able to get Peggy’s story out to the world, the church takes notice and contact the Warrens to check it out. Not being able to feel anything in the house spirit wise, Lorraine is dumbfounded as to what is controlling young Janet. While having a chat with the spirit, the family discovers that he is a former resident of the house, Bill Wilkins, but still not being able to feel him makes Lorraine question if the family is faking their haunting to try and cash in. With all signs pointing one way, the Warrens start to head back home when Ed is able to find the one thing that could break the case wide open, a demon has taken control of the spirit of Bill Wilkins and in turn taken control of Janet as well. With no time to spare in trying to save the girl’s life, the Warrens are forced to face evil head on once again, but do the spoils really go to the victor? This is a great second installment to the Warren saga that I hope continues on for another couple movies. With so many great stories that are waiting to be told, I don’t think that there should be anything holding them back. I liked the pacing of the movie, even while you are taking a slow stroll down a dark hallway, you are trying to see what Janet is seeing and while the demon cannot be seen by all, he can be seen by who he wants to torment the most. The Hodgson family is just great, I am still trying to figure out who the leader of the kids really is, because young Johnny has got some stones to take on the unknown for his sister’s sake. Another family saved by the Warrens which is what they are known for doing, regardless of what problems they are having in their personal life. Stay Scared.
