Review of The Nun II (2023) by Habibiehakim — 08 Sep 2023

Now i'm actually one of the very few people who actually really like The Nun (2018), I thought it was as close as it gets to being as good as James Wan's Conjuring movie, with The Nun II I don't really have a high expectations especially knowing that the director of the movie was the same director who made The Curse Of La Llorona which is one of the worst horror movie i've ever watch, and i'm glad to say that Michael Chaves directing has been improved in The Devil Made Me Do It and now The Nun II was overall a good enjoyable scary sequel that takes things I don't really like in the first movie which is Jonas Bloquet as Maurice, not only he's one of the main lead in this movie, he also a complete attitude opposite from the previous movie in a good way, and the thing that I really like from the first movie which is the straight forward fast paced movie, The Nun II takes more time that could've been work even better if the stuff was really interesting and to be honest most of the time it wasn't and I just need to get back to get scared again but it's not like every single time, the relationship thing was whatever but I don't hate it, Storm Reid character also whatever but I also don't hate it, the jumpscare most of the time works just fine and there is some couple of really interesting and one particularly good build up, unfortunately there is one very cheap jumpscare that I don't like, but Valak was really just the most badass and one of the best evil in horror movie ever, and there is one new demon combined animal in the movie that are just creep the hell out of me and it was great, performances were all good, the story still overall works for me, the movie set and looks also pretty good, there is literally couple of really cool and beautiful shot in the movie, and it's surprisingly pretty brutal, overall I really enjoyed The Nun II, it's another entertainingly good intense scary entry in The Conjuring universe, and i'm also surprisingly pretty hyped for that mid-credit scene and i'm still interested for the future of the franchise.
