“The Conjuring 2” (** out of four) was a more-of-the-same sequel that makes you wish yet again that horror filmmakers would conjure up some new ideas for horror movies. This time around, Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) and Ed (Patrick Wilson) travel to North London to help a single mother (Francis O’Connor) whose house is possessed by (yawn) evil spirits similar to the ones that plagued their home years before. Some scares and good performances but a definite feeling of deja-vu hangs over the proceedings. Can anyone really tell the difference between this, “Sinister 2”, “Insidious 2”, or any one of the “Paranormal Activity” movies?
