The demonic veiled nun will haunt me for some days! :O
Scary, terrifying & a fitting follow up to the first
one,it succeeds in frightening you with its lingering creepiness but fails to
bring anything new to the plot or the proceedings. It's wonderful to see the
relationship between Ed and Lorraine. Vera Farmiga as Lorraine is superb.She
has such a charming screen presence.Her character is strong, powerful & she
manages to pull the viewer through all kind of emotions.Patrick Wilson as Ed is
also an apt foil to Lorraine.
Few scenes really make you jump back & shudder with it
eerie-ness like when Lorraine decides to check in the painting room and a
demonic nun comes out from nowhere from the painting and a scene when Janet
watches TV and figures out a person sitting on a chair behind her and the
remote control falls by itself.
But i am bit perplexed with the character of the infernal
nun, which is so appropriately nightmarish, reminiscent of the veiled
"Bride In Black" from 'Insidious'. What was the motto behind the
nun's portrait that Ed had drawn and how was it connected to this particular
case is never fully explained! Also what's less compelling is the inclusion of
the "Crooked Man," a storybook scarecrow monster spreading
Babadook-esque chaos about halfway through and is explained as the demon
assuming a form that's familiar to the Hodgsons. Nevertheless, its worth a dekko
for all the thrill that it provides!
