Here’s How To Watch The Nun 2 At Home

«The Conjuring» cinematic universe shows no signs of stopping. Like most franchises, the series came from humble beginnings. Under the direction of horror maverick James Wan, «The Conjuring» hit cinemas in 2013 and quickly became a hit. A year after, Wan and Warner Bros. began work on a spin-off, titled «Annabelle.» Since then, the franchise has considerably expanded and boasts nine films, including «The Nun II.» With so many films in «The Conjuring» universe, should horror fans and prospective viewers even watch «The Nun II»?

Jeremy Mathai of /Film had mixed feelings on the film, discussing how the sequel feels bogged down and stuck in the motions because of its adherence to «The Conjuring» universe. «But neither does it succumb to the shortcomings that bedeviled its predecessor,» Mathai wrote, adding that the film is less ambitious and less rewarding. Over on Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 52% Rotten rating, confirming it’s a safe enough bet for horror junkies. The sequel, directed by «The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It» director Michael Chaves, has a much higher Rotten Tomatoes score than its predecessor, which boasts a mediocre 24% score.
