A sequel to the highest grosser of the 'Conjuring' Universe breaks faith with some of the core principles of suspense-building, resulting in dozy redundancy.
How about another round of religious trauma, the movie? Five years after “The Conjuring” Universe spinoff “The Nun” glowered its way to huge box office numbers , the imposing sister is back in “The Nun II,” this time directed by Michael Chaves, who helmed the latest CU installments “The Curse of La Llorona” and “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It” .
The problem is that Chaves is way too liberal with his monsters, ghouls and demons, showing us way too much, too soon — a classic horror-filmmaking blunder. The camera lingers on long, leisurely looks over the scary thing or just blatantly shows us which otherwise mundane object will soon become animated by evil forces.
Farmiga is a wonder to watch, delivering an earnest, guileless performance of Sister Irene that mirrors the performance of her own sister, Vera Farmiga, who plays the similarly psychically gifted Lorraine Warren elsewhere in the series . In this sequel, she’s assisted by another, rather skeptical sister, Debra , who tags along to see a miracle, and gets more than she bargained for.
