The Conjuring 2 - Deusdaecon Reviews 

Thank you for pointing out the inaccuracy of upside down crosses being evil.

I never take the "based on a true story" line seriously anymore, especially when it comes to horror movies, I see it as a cheap marketing gimmick.

Wait wait wait a Hollywood film was historically inaccurate? I'm shocked.

"Marilyn Mason Nun..." You made me spew Coke on my monitor.

For those interested in the story involving Morris etc as opposed to the warrens there is a UK production called the Enfield haunting which includes all the omissions mentioned here.

"... ... Somebody owes Mike Flanagan some fu*kin' money." One of the best quotes ever on this channel.

About the whole "Ouija board contacts your subconscious," thing, Brain Games did an interesting experiment on a Ouija board, saying that the reason why you move the planchette without your own accord is due to an affect in the brain, comparing it to something that I can't remember. I'll probably type what it was later.

I'm really like that you are standing up for the true investigation. If I remember correctly the photos of Janet levitating off of her bed, her legs are underneath her and it looks she is jumping. Not to mention the photos where taken with a motion sensor camera. The other things are harder to explain like Janet losing weight at an amazingly fast speed (but not enough to levitate), or the fact when they talked to the son of the alleged Poltergeist he said his father had died in exactly the same way the alleged poltergeist said he did.

The thing I found most objectionable about this film was the insertion of the Warrens into this case as they played, at best, a peripheral role. The majority of the investigation was conducted by the late Guy Lyon Playfair and Maurice Grosse who found that while there was quite a lot of fraudulent behaviour there was some things that were genuinely not easily explained. As per usual the Skeptic community, usually headed by proffessional magicians, claimed that the evidence could have been recreated by themselves and no doubt they are right, but the difference between a very experienced stage magician and a young teenage girl would be very noticeable.

23:10 Thank YOU!!! I was TIRED of all the medias online saying the upside-down cross was evil when it is clearly not.

I'm hooked on your content. I just binged each one of your Final Destination reviews and I have no regrets. You deserve so many more subscribers. Much love ✌

About time someone else besides me mentions that the upside down cross isn't Satanic whatsoever

It's a Marilyn Mansnun, you might say

Love your reviews , this channel seriously deserves more subscribers.

it feels like 30 minutes is to short. I can't get enough of these vids.

I keep watching your reviews because your truly one of a kind . I Iove it.

I know i'm in for a good review when he has to put up a safety net "this is my opinion"

The bullies, I think, are ment to show the kids are a team and not your average bickering siblings. Also this shows how their bond was breaking down towards the middle of the movie. Where most of the ghostly stuff happens to the kids when their alone and not a team.

Even though I'm already following due to those cracking Hellraiser reviews, I wish I could follow again for that Bottom reference right at the start!

THANK YOU! Thank you for bringing up the fact the upside-down cross is St Peter's symbol and not a satanic symbol. I hate this cliché and completely wrong use of the symbol, and I am glad someone says itˆˆ

Honestly, I think you're discrediting yourself by repeating the "opinion not facts" bit. Because for the most part, you've backed up all your opinions in the video with verifiable facts. All I'm really saying is that you make many good points, and you should acknowledge your views' validity. You certainly educated me.

I just want to see a movie, where a person tries to use a Ouija board to contact a ghost, and the other person says "That´s not what you use to talk to ghosts you idiot." And when the person asks "Well then what do you suggest huh?" With a smug face, and then the other person just pulls a gun and shoots them in the head and says "This." And laughs like they just heard a really good joke. Pleaaase just once

Only just realised how clever your intro is. Legit been listening/watching you for a few months now. Only just paid attention to the lyrics in your intro.

God, even as a kid, I felt the upside-down cross thing was just stupid. So it was no surprise that when watching _Conjuring 2_'s trailer, when I saw the crosses turn upside-down, I simply rolled my eyes.

I really like your reviews. I appreciate your attention to detail. I’ve been watching them back to back. Could you do the insidious series, the Annabelle series, the first conjuring, and the Grudge series? I loved the way you approached The Ring series.

I love your reviews man. I swear you don't get enough credit for your hard work.

Note that the haunting begins when she takes the cigarette. Be the generation that ends smoking

You, good sir, have just got yourself a new sub. Keep up the awesome work.

I love your reviews. You're brutally honest.🤘

Just to add to what the daecon said, St Peter didn't believe that he was worthy enough to die in the same way as Christ, which is why his cross was turned upside down. It is in fact a symbol of humbleness as well as devotion to Jesus: the OPPOSITE of how it's usually depicted in media.

Wing fundamental, heavy arms and a unicorn . Nice arrange of kits .

6:39-6:43 Don't forget Ouija, which is also an official Hasbro movie. Though I have heard good things about Origin of Evil, which is directed by Mike Flannigan, so you know the sequel is better when you've got the director of Oculus.

I have been a big geek about the Enfield haunting since childhood (I'm now almost 40) and this movie really pissed me off with all the extra bulshit added to the story.

when the ghost screams my house, it just makes me think of joe from friends going 'JOE DOESN'T SHARE FOOD!!!" lmao

16:52 did...did that alegid ghost really make a doctor who reference?

Now you HAVE to review The Nun, when it comes out on DVD.

Did the first The Conjuring do well so you didn't need to review it? Or is it uploaded somewhere? Also what about doing the Alien franchise?

Love the "don't wanna get into the sh*t on this one". Best episode of Bottom.... Well, except for s'holy.... Gold frankenstein and grrr

Where have you been all this time? BRILLIANT...JUST BRILLIANT!!

YES!!! Turned cross is saint peter cross and it is holy. in this channel I found one and only man who speaks trues.

Loved the film, tbh! :)

I thought Amityville and its inceasingly silly sequels broke its back and ground its spine into a fine powder. This one just turned the rest into a fine paste. :p

U ever thought of doing the conjuring universe films

All of your reviews are absolutely hilarious you have the exact sense of humour as me and think exactly the same thank you for doing these reviews

My dad said the same thing about the Valak demon! Lmfao. He goes oh shit I didn't know Marilyn Manson was in this movie. Lmfao. He coulda been good as that demon. Like a little extra creepy aspect to the Valak demon.

Tucker & Dale. House 1,2. Return of the living dead 1,2,3. ♡♡♡

Loved the Bottom reference dude haha! Killed it

I sense a hint of disdain to the situation and/or people depicted in the movie. But i may be wrong.

🖤👻💀🔪🖤👻💀🔪🖤 So I literally just came across your channel like 2 days ago, your 13 Ghost review was the very first video of yours that i watched & i instantly became interested in your channel! I'm really glad that I stumbled upon your channel bcus I've been binge-watching the hell outta all of your movie review videos for the last 2 days! I really enjoy these videos & you've definitely got yourself a new subscriber! 👍🏻👏🏻 🖤👻💀🔪🖤👻💀🔪🖤

Very funny and enlightening review. Great work! I would like to point out: I was always taught that saying a demon's name will summon it or give it power, not make it go away. Something else in this movie that makes no sense.

Personally i loved this movie because i didn’t read into the real story. I’m thinking of doing that but as a film i found it to be great.

the "My house!" line is hilarious

What gets under my skin with these movies is how people who don't know the facts (or refuse to learn them) mistaken what's on screen with what actually happened. My coworker believes at least 95% of this movie happened and 100% of what the Warrens say happened truly happened. In her words, "The nun and the Crooked Man weren't there, but everything else is true!" She actually got very angry at me about this. 😬

Everytime I see and hear the little British Comedy references it makes me day, from the Boosh to Bottom and all in between :) Your points about the family is really important its a shame they continued this insult for Conjuring 3

Love the glances to the side camera. Comedy gold 👍

Great presentation. Love your satire as well.

Love the show!! Learned alot from this one!!

Completely agree with your analysis and I felt the same thing about the movie you did. Have you ever noticed that the nun-demon's name (Valak) is very close to the name of the master vampire (Valek) in John Carpenter's Vampires?

6:39 I would now absolutely love to see you review the Transformers movies. I love your take on movies.

I find is interesting that although I've seen the movie at least twice, watched this review multiple times and various similar reviews/discussions from other channels in addition to having a pretty good working knowledge of the Endfield haunting the movie is based around, I still dont really understand the intricacies of the plot, it seems to have so much going on and so many ghost/demons and I've no clear idea as to the relevance of most of them. With the exception of "Bill Willkins" the supposed spirit haunting the Endfield house, everything else just feels tacked on and convoluted. It really doesn't need the addition of the bloody nun, a vague recreation of Amityville and the f@#king ludicrous crooked man. I could include the Warrens in that list as yet another complicating factor!

Always good videos.

Just wanted to say thank you for the brilliant reviews. I can see that you put actual thought and research into your reviews as oppose to some of the other critics out there who try to review everything under the sun with no real value behind their words. I really enjoyed the conjuring 1 and 2 but your reviews did show the hollywood bullshit side that had me fooled. Keep up the good work, looking to donate soon!

I am a Christian, and you obviously have little use for such things, so it may interest you to know that I COMPLETELY AGREE with your observations about this movie and the Warrens. I find it insulting to the furthest degree.

Love the Adrian Edmondson nod. Well done. Love that Ferris wheel episode

The people that play the Warrens I like they do a good job, they make you care for them, but the more i learn about the actual people I dislike them or and more. I was super Hyped for this, I really enjoyed the first movie even if it wasnt true to what went on. It was just a genuinely a good ghost story and scary. The second just about lost everything that made the first so great. and idk why there was so much cgi and pointless jump scares. there were parts that had a good scary atmosphere and you would get kinda spooked, then the movie would just fuck it up. It was a huge let down for me. and boy woo.. im not even gonna start on annabelle. oh man that didn't ever look like it was gonna be anything worth while

I love your vids dude keep it up

a lollipop lady lolololol i love that

This channel is the underdog of RU-vid movie reviews; debunking the bullshit and praising what’s good

Sometimes I feel like I must be completely insane because James Wan's movies bore the shit out of me. Every time he gets some creepy atmosphere going, his lack of restraint ruins the pay off. Even then, a lot of the build-ups feel very full of themselves, thinking that they earn the jumpscare. By the way, jumpscares are the payoffs for *all tension building scenes in his films*. I cannot think of one example where that is not the case, and it's just so lazy and frustrating, all it does is abruptly end the scene and prevent it from getting under your skin. I stand by that the original Saw was a solid and tense mystery film. It was unique, minimalist and full of heart. Every thing James has done since feels like a bunch of bullshit. Insidious Chapter 2 is my favorite post-Saw film from him simply because it was unique. Ghost stories don't normally fuck about with time manipulation, or have such tight continuity. Insidious 2 made the first movie a little more interesting for me. Insidious Chapter 1 and The Conjuring Series are so uninspired. They're the most by-the-books ghost movies imaginable. I simply don't understand what chord they strike with people. The staircase scene from Annabelle genuinely scared more than anything in any other James Wan movie. And Annabelle is a shitty James Wan spinoff.

DEUS, was “I don’t wanna get on the shit on this one” a quote from “Bottom” ??? 😂

I loved the movie.

I only just watched it this week and thought I liked it, but watching your review it appears I missed many "scare moments" which I take it to mean I was actually bored of the movie and zoned out. Have you seen The Enfield Haunting with Timothy Spall? If so what did you think of that?

26:00 well, comrade, i've heard before that some people see the world as they see or are themselves, so, if the "protagonists" see everyone else as greedy jerks, guess what, they are as well, just have a hollier than thou attitude.

Just out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on the first Conjuring movie?

Excellent review as always! Could you maybe do one of the 1990 film, "The Guardian"? The one with the evil nanny who is actually a hamadryad that sacrifices babies to a tree to prolong her immortal life?

would you ever think of reviewing rosemarys baby?

Did they REALLY play "London Calling" by The Clash during that montage? OH NO! That is the worst American cliche for a movie taking place in England. *Barf* Does this movie even take place in London? I turned it off only a few minutes in.

Bullocks! I love when you say Bullocks!

Love the reviews that you do. you should check out this movie called Ghost of Mars staring Ice Cube

I actually love this movie.

I love ur reviews!!!

I have just gotta say, that deadpan, "Yeah, ya see..." is so funny to me for some reason. I laugh everytime I watch that part :).

I actually didn't know about those production issues. Between those and James Wan originally not wanting to direct the sequel, it makes me wonder how much any of the people behind it really cared. A Silent Hill swing? Heh, want a coincidence. ;) So, once again they connected the two cases in odd ways, just like the first film did. Either they're really big fans of Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, or someone is trying to force a cinematic universe with continuity and shit. So does that thing about filmmakers needing to stop using the Ouija board apply to Mike Flanagan as well? :P

I'm kinda happy some one else is as pissed off with this movie as I am . I have had an interest in this haunting from a young age and this film is the biggest pile of Bull shit I have ever had the misfortune to see. It's bloody offencive to all the real people involved in the real investigation.

14:45 Are you kidding me?! The Ghostly Trio could pull off a better scare!

I've watched the true original videos/ story on this movie. The main girl (whom was supposedly possessed) shows in her actions that her story was fake.

Opinions, not facts? You're doing better than the media these days. At least you admit it. I won't give you any shit. I enjoy your videos. This movie scared the hell out of me.

Ade and rik, what a duo

Your options are fails and the Enfield haunting drama was a lot more accurate than the conjorning 2

Enjoy your reviews. Have you ever considered doing the Saw movies, and/or the Hostel movies?

Personally I thought that this movie is very good if you ignore the historical facts but that just my opinion

Skeptics in these films are like atheists in a Pure Flix movie, and I'm kind of in the middle ground when it comes to believing in the paranormal.

it's not just on the bookcase that Valak is spelt out its on one of the bracelets that the daughter was making at the table

The letter beads on the bracelet the girl is making also appear to say VALAK

Maybe Janet have multiple personalities disorder, could that be possible

The interview that ed did, if I remember correctly this is quite in charachter for him. He was quite the bully and used anger and bluster to avoid answering questions he didn't like.

The irony is that the crooked man was made into a great computer game.

I feel like this would've been sorted a lot sooner if it was done by Constantine (hey, this movie can put enough fictional bollocks in, a fictional character will fit right in)

The crooked man thats what it was

That’s the rather common theme with these type of movies especially when coming from a country like America(who gives tax breaks to con artists like a certain Aussie creationist), the whole upside down cross is the end result of not doing any real research, making the rational skeptics unrealistically douchey, and of course make the Warrens and others of their ilk the good guys, then I remember it’s the same country that 18% think the sun revolves around the earth and 45% believe in other supernatural creatures including ones from other countries be it the leprechaun from Ireland to the Yurei of Japan that somehow made it to America(because everybody knows America is the only supernatural hotspot right?).
