How about another round of religious trauma, the movie? Five years after The Conjuring Cinematic Universe spinoff The Nun glowered her way to boffo box office numbers (the highest grossing in the successful franchise), the imposing sister is back in The Nun II, this time directed by Michael Chaves, who helmed the latest CCU installments The Curse of La Llorona (2019) and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021).

In The Nun, set in 1952, a young novitiate, Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) travels to Romania to battle the demon Valak at Saint Cartha’s monastery, in Romania. Director Corin Hardy and cinematographer Maxime Alexandre brought an operatic Gothic horror style to the movie, which was light on story but heavy on jump-scares.
