Movie Review: 'The Conjuring 2' Rating: **1/2

Unlike its predecessor "The Conjuring", this film does not break any new mould in the horror genre. In spite of a heavy dosage of screaming, horror, destruction and gore, the essence of the shock value seems to be missing in "The Conjuring 2". "The Conjuring 2" intertwines the stories of two families: The Warrens (Ed and Lorraine, who are based in and were featured in the first instalment) and The Hodgsons, which comprise of Peggy and her four children -- Margaret, Janet, Bill and Johnny, who live in Enfield, a borough of London.
