The Nun 2 is a 2023 American supernatural horror film directed by Michael Chaves and written by Gary Dauberman. It is a sequel to the 2018 film The Nun, and the ninth installment in the Conjuring Universe. The film stars Taissa Farmiga, Bonnie Aarons, and Jonas Bloquet.
The Nun 2
The film is set in 1956, five years after the events of the first film. Sister Irene (Farmiga) and Father Burke (Bloquet) are sent to investigate the death of a young nun in Romania. They soon discover that the abbey is haunted by the demonic nun Valak (Aarons).
The Nun II is a dark and atmospheric horror film that delivers on the scares. The film is beautifully shot, with a strong sense of dread and suspense. The performances from the cast are also excellent, with Farmiga and Aarons giving particularly memorable turns.
The film does suffer from a few pacing issues, and the ending is a bit anticlimactic. However, overall, The Nun II is a solid entry in the Conjuring Universe and is sure to please fans of the genre.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Where to watch: The Nun II will be released in theaters on September 8, 2023. It will also be available to stream on a variety of platforms, including HBO Max, Peacock, and Paramount+.
Here are some additional thoughts on the Nun 2 film:
The film does a good job of building suspense and creating a sense of dread. The atmosphere is dark and oppressive, and the film does a good job of teasing the audience with glimpses of the demonic nun.
The performances from the cast are excellent. Taissa Farmiga is particularly good as Sister Irene, bringing a sense of strength and determination to the role. Bonnie Aarons is also great as Valak, the demonic nun.
The film does suffer from a few pacing issues. The first half of the film is slow-paced and feels a bit like it’s just treading water. The second half of the film is much better, but it’s not enough to save the film from its pacing problems.
The ending is a bit anticlimactic. The film builds up to a big showdown between Sister Irene and Valak, but the showdown is underwhelming and doesn’t live up to the film’s build-up.
Overall, The Nun II is a solid entry in the Conjuring Universe. It’s not the best film in the franchise, but it’s still a fun and suspenseful horror film that’s sure to please fans of the genre.
