Intolerable cruelty
Cast:
Bonnie Aarons, Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Taissa Farmiga, Jonas Bloquet,
Storm Reid, Anna Popplewell
Rating: 1/5
A film so deeply
grounded in the Conjuring Universe, The Nun II forgets that it has to be a good
film first; a film so desperately in need of validation that it forgets to pack
in the scares. The Nun II is a bunch of badly directed jump-scares put together
like beads on a string, that too as loose as possible. There’s no passion nor
will behind this film. It feels as if it was made just because it had to be
made - for money, of course
Four
years after the events at the Abbey of St. Carta, Sister Irene returns once
again and comes face to face with the demonic force Valak, the Nun.
The
film as a whole feels very loose and unmotivated. The end product, while some
people will find it scary, isn’t scary or even remotely unsettling. Sure the
atmosphere is pretty well done but it’s certainly not worth wasting an hour and
fifty minutes of your precious time.
Director
Michael Chaves doesn’t know when to cut and when not to. The screenplay, which
took three people to write is equally as bad. The cinematography, production
design, and fine performances are the only redeeming features.
