The Nun II continues with the story of Sister Irene(Taissa Farmiga), after the events of The Nun(2018). In 1956, in a town in France, many gruesome murders are taking place. Sister Irene has to once again go toe to toe with The Demon Nun(Bonnie Aarons), to put an end to her reign of terror.
The Nun II is a pretty good film. However, it had the potential to be great. Director Michael Chaves has given us another movie in The Conjuring universe, with such wasted potential. The same thing happened with the Chaves directorial, The Curse of La Llorona(2019). His only good film in this ever expanding horror universe is, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It(2021). The jump scares are super predictable. There's literally only one creepy scene, in the whole movie. The last half an hour of the movie is just pure chaos & is unintentionally funny, at times. The visual effects are apt. Taissa Farmiga is spectacular as Irene. Jonas Bloquet is superb as Maurice. Storm Reid is awesome as Debra. Anna Popplewell is fantastic as Kate. Bonnie Aarons is outstanding as The Demon Nun. It's frustrating that after her terrifying debut in the brilliant The Conjuring 2(2016), Aarons' perfect portrayal as the titular character, should have been given better films in her solo franchise. Katelyn Rose Downey is good as Sophie. The supporting cast is impressive. The Nun II is worth a watch for fans of The Conjuring franchise. However, if you're used to horror movies, go for it with extremely low expectations.
