The Nun 2 Movie Review: Everything You Need to Know About 'The Nun 2' Release and Plot!
Here are some spine-chilling updates for the audience; expect the release of “The Nun 2” soon. Fans are incredibly excited to see what the demon Valak has in store for them in the upcoming installment of Nun Conjuring 2, which will soon be in theaters. After five years the release of the first installment, which was directed by horror icon Corin Hardy, fans are interested in learning more about the plot of The Nun 2. Read on to learn everything about the film, including the cast, the release date, and other information.
The Plot Of The Nun 2
Nun 2 is the sequel to the 2018 horror movie. The Nun movie follows the story of a priest and a novitiate who is sent to investigate the mysterious death of a nun in Romania. As they delve deeper into the investigation, they uncover a dark secret that puts their lives in danger. The last movie hinted to us that we should expect more from the conjuring universe.
This upcoming Hollywood horror movie has a different setting, this time in France rather than Romania. Sister Irene travels to look into the killing of a priest four years after The Nun’s events, but she discovers Valak again to be the reason behind all the events.
The Story begins where we left Nun 2018 where the Duke of St. Cârța unlocked the door to Hell. At the beginning of The Nun, Sister Victoria kills herself in order to prevent being possessed by Valak, a demon disguised as a nun who is looking for a host. She meets Frenchie, a villager who serves as her guide when she arrives. Together, they learn that Valak, a demonic nun, is the embodiment of a malicious spirit that resides in the monastery.
Valak is stopped by Sister Irene by spitting the blood of Jesus into its face. But as in all of The Conjuring Universe’s other movies, we were prepared for a return.
The revelation at the end also exposes that Frenchie is none other than Maurice. At the beginning of The Conjuring, the Warrens(paranormal investigators) displayed a video of themselves attempting to exorcise Maurice. Then we didn’t know that this was probably Lorraine Warren’s first encounter with the demon.
Now Valak is back, and audiences can expect Nun 2 to delve more into the “depths of the demon. Moreover, with Michael Chaves return as the director, expect some more horror and suspense to spook you out.
Cast
The cast that delivered solid performances is reprised. Bonnie Aarons is back as the terrifying demon nun, Valak. Jonas Bloquet (Frenchie/Maurice) and Taissa Farmiga (Sister Irene) are being reprised.
A fresh entry is Euphoria’s Storm Reid as a nun. Additionally joining are Anna Popplewell and Katelyn Rose Downey from The Chronicles of Narnia. Together with Ian Goldberg and Richard Naing, the authors of The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016), Akela Cooper (M3GAN) worked on the script. The film’s director, Michael Chaves, previously assisted James Wan in The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021). Wan is now listed as a producer for the planned sequel in the credits.
What can we expect from The Nun 2?
Nun 2 is definitely going to raise the bar, considering the persona and intensity of the prequel. On the scale of the scary factor, it will surely have you on the edge of your seat.
If we analyze the jump scares and the tension builds in the prequels, they were well-timed and steady throughout the film. Definitely “The Nun 2” will surpass all. The demon nun, Valak, is a terrifying presence that will haunt your nightmares long after the movie is over.
The Nun 2 Trailer and Release Date
Although The Nun 2’s trailer has not yet been released, we anticipate it will do so shortly. However, Jame Wan’s Instagram page gave you a quick sneak peek into the movie. The post includes a behind-the-scenes image of a priest character in a dimly lit setting with a film slate covering his face, in addition to the announcement that The Nun 2 had started filming. Wan’s message teases fans with the return of the recognizable iconography associated with the franchise, even if it doesn’t provide any further narrative details for the planned sequel.
The Nun 2 release date is set for September 8th, 2023.
