The Nun II

The Nun II might be a slight step up from the slog that was The Nun, but that’s a low bar to creep up from.

Despite the scares being a tad repetitive, they are made and photographed well, meanwhile, the special effects are first-rate. [Full review in Spanish]

The Catholic horror wheel isn’t reinvented, but the jump scares are so nonstop and occasionally clever that I was left wondering: is this the most fun I’ve had at the movies all summer?

I actually like this better than the first Nun, in terms of its atmosphere, in terms of its mood; and then eventually 4:59 there is some emotional groundedness that the first one lacks.

I was never bored by this sequel, and even if I always knew how things were going to work themselves out, my eyes nonetheless remained glued to the screen.

This entry absolves the spin-offs' worst sins; it's sometimes sillier than it is scary, but it's never as boring as either its direct predecessor or Chaves's The Curse of La Llorona.

Michael Chaves's 'The Nun II' explores the past involving the demon Valak from horror folk. However, the script does not contribute significantly to the mythology of the titular creature or the characters surrounding it. [Full Review in Spanish]


Sometimes there is a virtue in simply being charming nonsense.

Does not claim that its storytelling integrity is more important to it than providing a nice, rickety old thrill ride of bumps and shocks.

It settles for a half-baked story and the same old never-ending series of cheap, lazy, and ineffective jump scares, ultimately making this sequel an even more forgettable horror outing than the original.
