Taissa Farmiga delivers one of her best performances alongside a strong cast, with a tight script and impressive scares.
This review was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being covered here wouldn't exist.
The Nun II is an effective, gory, and impressively scary addition to the Conjuring universe that adds depth to the existing canon while also delivering a solid possession movie that stands up all on its own. Based on a story by Akela Cooper, from a script written by Cooper, along with Ian Goldberg and Richard Niang, The Nun II is miles better than its predecessor with pacing that moves along at a biting pace and keeps audience members on their toes.
One of the most impressive, which has been teased in the trailers leading up to the film's release, is the scene when Valak attacks Sister Irene from the pages of a newsstand. In a conversation with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, Chaves revealed that a majority of that particular scare was done in-camera, with some a helping hand from visual effects to get it across the finish line.
Chaves also pays homage to many past scares and other visual elements from the franchise. The newspaper stand scene alone parallels the opening scene in The Conjuring 2 in which Lorraine Warren is first attacked by Valak. The Nun II uses multiple visual cues like this to link Sister Irene and Lorraine and finally reveals exactly how the two are connected — beyond being played by real-life sisters, of course.
