It's possible that Valak caused Father Burke to fall ill between the events of The Nun and The Nun 2. Demián Bichir has been busy with other projects since The Nun, including The Grudge, Godzilla vs. Kong, and Let the Right One In.

Expect to see creepy images, scary monsters, deaths, blood (including a corpse lying in a huge blood puddle), young girls in peril, characters on fire, and neck-snapping.

The unsuspecting Sister watches the shadow of a nun float around and come up behind her in a mirror. To make matters creepier, multiple demented nuns join the party, crowding behind Irene in the mirror's reflection before one grips her from behind, breaking the mirror as a crucifix falls.

This film is probably scary for impressionable teenagers, because it certainly isn't for mature audiences. There are descriptions of suicide, lots of blood, slashed skin, stabbing, dead bodies, burning bodies, a man is buried alive (but escapes), shooting, demonic possession and all that stuff.

No, the movie disappoints. The story is basic, the timing of humor is laughable and the excessive amount of screentime - for that which petrified us with hardly any in the Conjuring movies - makes the Nun into something we hoped it wouldn't be.

Sure there's a couple of bloody, intense moments here and there but nothing excessive or over-the-top. Language wise, expect a few f-bombs and some other ocassion swear words, but not used in excessive manner.

However, with “The Nun II,” it feels as if the writers really did try to make a better and scarier experience. Most of the jump scares in “The Nun” were laughable and predictable. In “The Nun II” however, there are one or two that really make you jump. The use of CGI isn't too overt.

Valac is a demon described in the goetic grimoires The Lesser Key of Solomon (in some versions as Ualac or Valak and in Thomas Rudd's variant as Valu), Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum (as Volac), the Liber Officiorum Spirituum (as Coolor or Doolas), and in the Munich Manual of Demonic Magic (as Volach) as an ...

Sister Victoria had in fact been the last nun in that abbey and had sacrificed herself to stop Valak from possessing her.

What is the disturbing nun movie? ›

Victoria asks God for forgiveness before she jumps and hangs herself. Sometime later, her decaying body is discovered by a man simply known as Frenchie (Jonas Bloquet). The officials at the Vatican learn of Victoria's suicide, which is considered the ultimate sin.

The Nun in The Conjuring Universe is based on real-life demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren's experiences and has connections to actual demonology history. Valak, the demon in The Nun, appears in multiple historical grimoires and is described as a trickster, delivering treasures or serpents to those who contact it.

The mid-credits scene features main characters Ed and Lorraine Warren receiving a call from Father Gordon, known for facilitating their paranormal investigations.

It is revealed Father Burke died of cholera ahead of the events of The Nun 2. After surviving the encounter with Valak at the Cârța Monastery in Romania, things didn't go too well for Father Burke.

But for now, he gets a happy ending. In the last scene of the movie, Maurice tends to his tomato plants and lives happily ever after with Kate and Sophie. Irene watches him go, with a look on her face that says she knows—just as the audience knows—that this isn't over.

The Nun II, in theaters Sept. 8, jumps ahead four years to 1956, after Father Burke (Demián Bichir) has died of cholera, Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) has slipped into anonymity at a convent in Italy, and Maurice (Jonas Bloquet) has made his way to France and is working as a handyman at a boarding school.
