The Conjuring 2 focuses on its supernatural horror narrative, prioritizing traditional storytelling and character arcs over identity-driven themes. Characters’ race, gender, or sexuality are not given undue emphasis, and casting appears based on narrative fit rather than checking boxes. Any ‘forced representation’ is practically nonexistent here.

The film’s core revolves around a Catholic family haunted by evil, with themes affirming faith, family, and traditional values. Masculinity and femininity are portrayed in conventional ways, and there’s actually a respect for religious institutions. No eye-rolling attempts to revise history or undermine cultural bedrock.

While there may not be much debate or alternative philosophies on display, this is a straightforward horror story, after all, it doesn’t actively mock or villainize traditional viewpoints. The worldview presented is sincere and, if anything, leans toward classical supernatural ideas rather than modern ideological uniformity.
