The Nun 2 Review: A weak attempt to cash in on a successful franchise, audiences duped in the name of horror


Posted on 7th Sep 2023 02:52 pm by rohit kumar

'The Nun 2', the sequel to the film 'The Nun' released in 2018, has been released in theaters today. The story of this film begins from where the story of the film 'The Nun' ends. The only difference is that 'The Nun' was directed by Corin Hardy and this time the responsibility of direction rests on the shoulders of Michael Chaves, who had earlier directed 'The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It' and 'The Curse of La Llorona. ' Have directed. An attempt has been made to cash in on 'The Nun 2' as a successful franchise. But watching this film does not give the feeling that one is watching a franchise of a successful film.

 

The story of the film 'The Nun 2' begins in Romania, four years after the events of the first film, in the year 1956. To connect the story of the film with the first part, it is shown that Maurice (Jonas Bloquet) is possessed by the demonic power of Nun Wallach (Bonnie Aarons). Through Maurice, she is killing people to find the MacGuffin. Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) and Sister Debra (Storm Reed) are sent to a boarding school in France to investigate the case. Where they encounter Valak. Both are searching for the relic of St. Lucy's eyes. This relic has unbeatable powers for both Irene and Valak. The story of the entire film ends in the boarding school itself. The story of the film ends at such a point that it seems as if we are watching an ordinary horror film of Hindi cinema of the 90s.

 

To say that 'The Nun 2' is a horror film, after watching which the audience's soul will tremble, but there was no such moment in the whole film which scared the audience. The story of the film was also very complicated. One has to think with great emphasis on the mind that if such an incident had happened, then what would be the thinking of the director behind it? When such a feeling starts while watching any movie, then the eagerness to watch the movie gradually fades away. The background music of the film is also not such that one can cry after listening to it. While the biggest game in horror films is the background music. Tristan Niby's cinematography is not a bit intimidating in some scenes of the film, but it also does not leave enough impact to make the audience feel that they are watching a horror film.

 

The film's director Michael Chaves had the biggest opportunity to prove himself in this film. But his directorial skills, which were seen in films like 'The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It' and 'The Curse of La Llorona', were not seen in this film. Even though both his films were mediocre, this film was slightly better. Usually, any movie in a franchise should be better than the first movie, but this movie doesn't stand anywhere near as good as the first movie, The Nun. His biggest weakness has been his inability to use Bonnie Aarons as Wallach properly in this film. The importance of this character in the prequel was not given in it. This is the weakest aspect of this film. Bonnie Aarons could have made a very good horror film with Wallach in the lead, but the story of the film wanders elsewhere.

 

The way Taissa Farmiga, and Jonas Bloket's tremendous performance was seen in the prequel of this film, that kind of performance was not seen in this film. But Taissa Farmiga has tried to do full justice to her character. Especially in the emotional scene of the film, the innocence of his face wins hearts. Bonnie Aarons' role as Nun Valack is impressive, she manages to scare the audience to a great extent, but she doesn't get much screen time in the film. The acting of the rest of the actors in the film was also mediocre. Although all the actors have tried to do justice to their role, if the rest of the film is weak then the performance of any artist does not shine.
