The first House movie was an unexpected treat for us, but it seems like The Second Story, with its nonsense \\u201cand then\\u201d plot and shallow child-pandering, has no idea what made the original actually good. \\n\\nThe Modern Film: The Conjuring 2 (2016)\\n"Ed and Lorraine Warren travel to North London to help a single mother raising 4 children alone in a house plagued by a supernatural spirit\\u201d (IMDb.com). In the past, we\\u2019ve been vocal supporters of Wan\\u2019s Insidious (1 & 2) and Conjuring movies, but is there a point where assuming success poisons what is otherwise a quality flick?\\n\\nAudio Sources:\\n"Aladdin" (1992) produced by Walt Disney Pictures, et al. \\n\\u201cThe Conjuring 2\\u201d produced by New Line Cinema, et al.\\n\\u201cHouse II: The Second Story\\u201d produced by New World Pictures & Sean S.
