The Nun 2

 

    The sequel to the surprise 2018 hit, "Nun 2" ups the terror by putting a boarding school of young girls in danger.

    Taissa Farmiga returns as Sister Irene, as does Jonas Bloquet as Maurice and of course, Bonnie Aarons as "The Nun". New additions to the cast include Storm Reid as Sister Debra, Anna Popplewell as Kate (the prerequisite young child in danger. I lost count how many times a character askes "where's Kate".) and Katelyn Rose Downey as Sophie, Kate's mom and a teacher at the school.

    A blink and you missed it horror scene from the first film justifies how the demon escaped to appear in the sequel. Director Michael Chaves creates a good sense of fear and tension in almost every scene. And many scenes reward with decent scares.

    If you are a fan, there is a mid-credit scene that ties the story to the rest of "The Conjuring" universe, technically making it the ninth film in the series.
