The new trailer for horror sequel The Conjuring 2 has landed, kicking off in earnest the build-up for the film that hits UK cinemas on June 17.

Looking to cash in on the gigantic success of the first flick, the sequel once again follows the ‘true events’ mantra, shifting the action to our very own shores.

Here’s the synopsis:

Reprising their roles, Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga (“Up In the Air,” TV’s “Bates Motel”) and Patrick Wilson (the “Insidious” films), star as Lorraine and Ed Warren, who, in one of their most terrifying paranormal investigations, travel to north London to help a single mother raising four children alone in a house plagued by malicious spirits.

The film follows the phenomenal worldwide reception of Wan’s “The Conjuring,” which marked the largest opening ever for an original horror movie. The film went on to make more than $319 million worldwide and still remains the second highest grossing original horror movie of all time, second only to “The Exorcist.”

And here’s the trailer:
