In THE CONJURING 2, we witness Burgess' mastery of the camera as a storytelling tool, doing much to scare the shit out of us with a simple pan or tilt.
The storytelling is lean and economical, with the visuals giving you all the information you need to see what's going on psychologically with our main character.
Ultimately, the film settles for being one of those British apocalypse tales about the inevitable demise of the Empire, down to a drowned world scene near the end of the film.
