I don’t know how this one slipped through the cracks, but the first official trailer for The Conjuring 2 (Warner Bros.) is finally here and it’s pretty freaking scary.  If you ask me, the sequel looks better than the first one, but that’s just me.  I honestly could not understand the hype over the first Conjuring movie.

Here are a few stills from the movie:

Baby, when I tell you I’d pack up my shit and shoot my way out the back, I’m not joking.  The sequel is also based on the paranormal investigations of Ed and Elaine Warren, with Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson both reprising their roles as The Warrens.  I actually really like Wilson in this role.  He’s protective, strong, yet tender and heroic with Farmiga’s character.

Synopsis:

New Line Cinema’s supernatural thriller “The Conjuring 2,” with James Wan (“Furious 7”) once again at the helm following the record-breaking success of “The Conjuring,” brings to the screen another real case from the files of renowned demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren.

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.

The film follows the phenomenal worldwide reception of Wan’s “The Conjuring,” which marked the largest opening ever for an original horror movie.  The film went on to make more than $319 million worldwide and still remains the second highest grossing original horror movie of all time, second only to “The Exorcist.”

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”).

The screenplay is by Chad Hayes & Carey W. Hayes & James Wan and David Leslie Johnson, story by Chad Hayes & Carey W. Hayes & James Wan.

Peter Safran and Rob Cowan, who previously collaborated on “The Conjuring,” are producing.  The executive producers are Walter Hamada and Dave Neustadter.

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.

The Conjuring 2 hits theaters on June 10, 2016.
