The Conjuring 2 was one of my favourite movies from this year (so far) back in June, sometimes it’s hard for a sequel to work just as well as the first movie, but The Conjuring 2 certainly had its scares.
If you are one of many that leapt out of their seats, screamed in the cinema and hid behind their popcorn, then it’s almost time for you to do it all again, but this time in the comfort of your own home as The Conjuring 2 is creeping onto DVD, Blu-ray and Digital HD in October.
You’ll be able to step back into one of the most famous cases in British supernatural history with “The Conjuring 2” coming to Blu-ray™ and DVD on October 17 and first on Digital HD on October 6. Acclaimed genre director, James Wan, returns for one of 2016’s most suspenseful films – another chilling chapter from the Warren case files set in 1977 Enfield, North London.
Reprising their roles, Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga (“Up In the Air,” TV’s “Bates Motel”) and Patrick Wilson (the “Insidious” films), star as Lorraine and Ed Warren, who, in one of their most terrifying paranormal investigations, travel to north London to help a single mother raising four children alone in a house plagued by malicious spirits.
Rounding out the cast are Frances O’Connor (TV’s “The Missing”) as the single mom, with Madison Wolfe (TV’s “Zoo”) and newcomers Lauren Esposito, Patrick McAuley and Benjamin Haigh as her children; Maria Doyle Kennedy (TV’s “Orphan Black”); Simon Delaney (TV’s “Roy”); Franka Potente (TV’s “The Bridge”); and Simon McBurney (“Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation”).
In addition to directing the film, Wan wrote the screenplay with Carey Hayes & Chad Hayes, and David Leslie Johnson. Peter Safran, Wan and Rob Cowan, who previously collaborated on “The Conjuring,” are producing. Collaborating with Wan behind-the-scenes is Oscar-nominated director of photography Don Burgess (“Forrest Gump,” “42”). Reuniting with the director from “The Conjuring” are production designer Julie Berghoff, editor Kirk Morri, costume designer Kristin Burke, and composer Joseph Bishara.
