New Line Cinema’s latest installment, “The Nun II,” has once again sent shivers down the spines of horror enthusiasts in the Philippines. As the newest chapter in “The Conjuring” Universe, this film, directed by Michael Chaves and produced by Peter Safran and James Wan, made a hair-raising debut, securing the top spot at the box office with an impressive PHP 90 million in its opening weekend on September 6.
A representative from Warner Bros. Distributors (WBD) expressed their excitement, stating, “This weekend’s success is a testament to the high want-to-see factor of fans of “The Conjuring” Universe, the evergreen franchise that continues to frighten cinemagoers around the globe. New Line Cinema has become the ‘haunted’ home of horror, and ticket buyers were back for more of the iconic Demon Nun, continuing its evil trek across Europe. We are excited by these impressive opening numbers and anticipate that great word of mouth will continue to drive business in the coming weeks as we head into Halloween.”
About the Film
Set in 1956 France, “The Nun II” unveils a chilling tale of murder and malevolence. The storyline follows Sister Irene, portrayed by Taissa Farmiga (“The Nun,” “The Gilded Age”), as she confronts the malevolent demon nun Valak once again.
Returning cast members include Jonas Bloquet (“Tirailleurs,” “The Nun”) as Maurice, Storm Reid (“Missing,” “The Suicide Squad”) as Sister Debra, Anna Popplewell (“Reign,” “The Chronicles of Narnia” trilogy) as Kate, and Bonnie Aarons (reprising her role from “The Nun”) reprising her role as the Demon Nun. They are joined by a talented ensemble of international actors, including Katelyn Rose Downey (“The Princess”) as Sophie, Suzanne Bertish (“Dead Ringers”) as Madame Laurent, Léontine D’Oncieu (“Two Tickets to Greece”) as Simone, Anouk Darwin Homewood (“The Flood”) as Celeste and Gael Raës (“Simone: Woman of the Century”) as Cedric.
Michael Chaves (“The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It”) directs the film, with a screenplay by Ian Goldberg and Richard Naing (“Eli,” “The Autopsy of Jane Doe”), and Akela Cooper (“M3GAN,” “Malignant”). The story is based on characters created by James Wan and Gary Dauberman.
The Safran Company’s Peter Safran and Atomic Monster’s James Wan produce, continuing their collaboration as filmmakers on all of the previous “Conjuring” films. “The Nun II” is executive produced by Richard Brener, Dave Neustadter, Victoria Palmeri, Gary Dauberman, Michael Clear, Judson Scott and Michael Polaire.

It has been around 5 years since ‘The Nun’ has scared its way to a 365-million box office payday and, while reviewing my critique of that movie, and realising how much I disliked the first movie, I’m quite surprised at how much better ‘The Nun II’ is in comparison to its predecessor.
‘The Nun II’ has a more grounded story as it takes its time to build characters that we can invest in so that when the demon nun Valak returns, there are people we can empathize with and genuinely root for. While the film, set in the 50s and just a few years after the events of the first move, it still has a contemporary feel that can affect the reality of the world that is created but at least the film is not as ridiculous as the first.
In this movie Valak has returned and by possessing a body, it has begun a killing spree across Europe. Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) is sent on a mission to find Valak and stop her (as she had done in the first movie) and this time she is joined by an American novitiate Sister Debra (Storm Reid). While the two sisters are giving chase, Valak is now haunting a girl’s boarding school in France where Maurice (Jonas Bloquet), called “Frenchie” in the last movie, is now working. Here, he has taken to a young student Sophie (Katelyn Rose Downey) and her mom, Anna Popplewell. It seems that Valak is looking for something and it might just be in the boarding school.
Again, ‘The Nun II’ offers nothing new to the genre. It is another case of demon possession and the typical battle between good and evil, as represented by the church (Sister Irene) and the devil (represented by the demon Valak). There is no representational aspect to the horrors of this movie, as directed by Michael Chaves and written by Ian Goldberg, Richard Naing, and Akela Cooper.
But at the very least, there’s a bit more story now as the film tries to connect what Valak is after to Sister Irene’s past, which honestly comes off as unrealistically fortuitous. It’s such a mainstream connection, a deus ex machina (pun intended), that works around the singular hero trope and complete with mystical relic. There’s no mystery or wonder to these spiritual artefacts and are instead just used as simply as tools or weapons against the demon. It’s this Western treatment of spiritualism that takes away from the magic and thrill out of the supernatural.
But while the film now has a heart – from the relationships between Maurice, Sophie, and her mother and even from the friendship formed between Sister Irene and Sister Debra – which grounds the plot and gives the horror a place of actual fear; director Michael Chaves has some very interesting directorial set ups that gives actual cinematic fright for the audiences.
Taking advantage of Valak’s appearance, and using the black shade of the nun’s habit, he allows the camera to linger in darkness where Valak may just suddenly appear. He does some pretty fun and cool scary sequences that is sometimes predicated by Marco Beltrami’s aggressive score. There are some genuine scares here as well as a few enjoyable jump scares that makes ‘The Nun II’ quite a ride. While I was having trouble connecting to the film, I was enjoying the thrill of tension and suspense that was created by the filmmaking. While the movie ended and I felt nothing new or surprising when it finished, I felt that it was still a good time in the cinema. A good movie to watch with friends.

Every frame is infused with meticulous detail, from ancient fabric manufacturing to subtle nods to legendary cinematic masterpieces. Whether you’re a dedicated horror enthusiast or simply enjoy a well-crafted cinematic experience, these ten intriguing facts about ‘The Nun II’ will surely deepen your appreciation and possibly ignite the urge for another viewing. Prepare to delve deeper into the haunting world of “The Nun II” and uncover secrets that may have eluded your initial gaze. Here are 10 film facts about “The Nun II” to further whet your appetite.
1) Historical Backdrops: How “The Nun II” Brought 1950s France to Life on Screen
The selection of filming locations was not just about visual appeal but a commitment to historical authenticity. The picturesque town of Aix-en-Provence was central to the film’s setting. The Chapelle de la Visitation Catherine de Sienne, a Baroque chapel constructed in the mid-17th century, became the cinematic representation of Tarascon Church. Erected in the mid-17th century, this architectural jewel has garnered attention not just for its artistic style but its status as a historical monument since 1924. Meanwhile, the Silvacane Abbey in La Roque-d’Anthéron, Bouches-du-Rhône with its storied past dating back to 1144, stood in for the Italian abbey, becoming the stage for multiple critical scenes. This former Cistercian monastery, nearly a millennium old, resonates with simplicity and the weight of history, which provided an apt setting. What’s even more fascinating is that despite its long history, the site saw major renovations only in the last few decades.
The Couvent des Prêcheurs in Aix-en-Provence, a 13th-century convent, was transformed into St. Mary’s Boarding School. It wasn’t just a shooting location but also became an operational hub, housing the production offices, makeup rooms, and more. Its intricate 1950s detailing was particularly impressive, from its ground floor courtyard garden to the art department’s creation of an old chapel inside a gymnasium, complete with frescoes and stained-glass windows.
Further enriching the film’s backdrop, the bustling Place des Martyrs de la Resistance offered a perfect setting for the entrance to St. Mary’s School, while the enchanting town of Tarascon provided a rich tapestry of cobbled streets for nighttime scenes. The production later transitioned to Provence Studios in Martigues, where more controlled environments were necessary for dramatic stunts and special effects.
These locations, each steeped in history, served as more than just sets. They breathed life into the narrative, creating a palpable connection between the audience and 1950s France.
2) Behind the Seams: Crafting Authentic Costumes
Costumes often breathe life into characters, but in “The Nun II”, they echo both authenticity and creativity. Take, for instance, Maurice’s vest made of hemp. This fabric is not just any cloth, but a time-honored weave with its roots deep in history. Sourced from Tissages d’Autan, the last-standing hemp weaver in France established in 1937, it exemplifies the sustainable traditions of Occitan.
Intriguingly, the Demon Nun’s outfit reveals the meticulous attention to detail. The signature wimple alone underwent over 20 iterations, a collaborative effort between costume designer Agnès Béziers, director Michael Chaves, and a skilled milliner to achieve perfection. This commitment to precision extends to the veils worn by Sisters Irene and Debra, who, as the film’s ‘Action Nuns,’ required veils that appeared flawless from every camera angle while allowing for unrestricted movement. For the sinister Demon Nun, the veil held particular importance. Collaborating closely with milliner Laurence Binet, they crafted a veil that was both eerie and intricately detailed, giving the malevolent entity its distinct identity.
In a fascinating blend of faith and fashion, Béziers referenced the 1952 Vatican dictate on nuns’ habits, particularly the prescribed 17 cm distance from the ground for the hems, enabling her to modernize the nun’s habits without compromising on authenticity.
A special nod goes to the uniforms of St. Mary’s School. While Béziers initially visualized a distinctive brown checked linen for these outfits, it was discovered that the fabric had been retired by its manufacturer. Yet, the solution was a mix of determination and collaboration. Emblem Weavers, an Irish fabric manufacturer, resurrected the linen fabric specifically for this project, weaving an impressive 350 meters exclusively for “The Nun II” resulting in 70 uniforms. And over 100 pairs of shoes made both in France and the UK for the schoolgirls.
Lastly, the costuming process wasn’t without its peculiar occurrences. Odd coincidences surrounding the Demon Nun’s outfit, such as lost crosses and misdirected fabric orders, culminated in the costume department’s decision to cleanse their workspace with white sage and offer a bouquet of yellow flowers as a sign of respect. Perhaps a tacit acknowledgment of the powerful energies they were working with!
3) Eerie Details: Behind the Creepy Elements
Every horror film thrives on its creepy elements, and “The Nun II” is no exception. In making this chilling movie, the crew didn’t rely solely on special effects; they also harnessed some unsettlingly real details to enhance the film’s atmosphere.
One of the eeriest facts revolves around the authentic cockroaches that plague Madame Laurent, played by Suzanne Bertish. Instead of turning to CGI or fabricated props, propsmaster Alexis Imbert chose the real deal. How? By collaborating with an old prop house in Marseille, Maison Opera. This wasn’t your typical prop house transaction. Each week, the shop’s manager informed Imbert about the number of roaches captured, and they were then collected to make their appearance in the film.
Meanwhile, the film creatively paid homage to past cinematic masterpieces. The location of Sophie’s hiding place, played by Katelyn Rose Downey, directly references the belltower scene from Hitchcock’s iconic film, “Vertigo.” But in a thrilling twist, Sophie faces far more harrowing challenges than Judy Barton from Hitchcock’s classic. Facing a possessed Maurice, the menacing Demon Nun, and a perilous staircase, Sophie’s ordeal presents a fresh, heightened sense of suspense for the audience.
But not all creepy elements in the movie were of the supernatural kind. Filming in a region known for its exquisite goat cheese, the cast and crew often traversed a coastal highway frequented by wild goats. It was the unexpected yellow warning signs reading “Chevre Savage” (wild goat) that added a light, eerie humor to their commutes, reminding everyone of the unpredictable nature of filming in such a diverse location.
4) The Evolution of Sister Irene: Taissa Farmiga’s Insight into “The Nun II”
In her return as Sister Irene for “The Nun II,” Taissa Farmiga delves into a narrative filled with layers, relationships, and haunting backdrops. A significant focal point of her excitement is the profound depiction of empowered female characters. The story beautifully showcases the evolving relationship between Sister Irene and Sister Debra, played by the talented Storm Reid. This dynamic highlights two strong, independent women navigating challenges together, breaking away from typical cinematic tropes.
The atmospheric South of France serves as the main shooting location, adding a touch of authenticity and enhancing the eerie ambiance of the film. These locations, including Aix-en-Provence, Tarascon, and Marseille, not only transport the cast and crew but also promise to immerse audiences into the very heart of the story. The ’50s setting is further brought to life in the quaint alleyways of Tarascon and the costume designs, allowing Farmiga and others to truly feel a part of that era.
Collaboration emerges as a recurring theme, both on-screen and behind the scenes. Director Michael Chaves receives immense appreciation from Farmiga for his open, direct, and collaborative style. This partnership ensures the character of Sister Irene remains true to her origins, while also evolving naturally within the story.
A surprising and complex element of “The Nun II” is the relationship between Sister Irene and Maurice, played by Jonas Bloquet. This relationship tests Irene’s morals and decisions, as she’s caught between saving her friend and confronting the lurking evil within him.
5) Behind the Nun’s Habit
Jonas Bloquet’s Dual Role: Returning as Maurice, Jonas Bloquet explores the eerie setting of “The Nun II” in a school, amplifying the horror against Aix-en-Provence’s historic backdrop. Bloquet reveals the complexity of playing Maurice’s dual nature – the relatable “Frenchie” and his tormented side. In a twist, the film sees Maurice as the “squire in distress” with female characters rallying to his rescue.
NUN2
Storm Reid’s Resilient Character: Storm Reid brings to life Sister Debra, a resilient young novitiate from Mississippi who’s had to face her own demons before tackling the supernatural ones. Born into challenging family circumstances, Debra’s path to becoming a nun wasn’t by choice but by necessity. With characters like Sister Debra, “The Nun II” not only promises supernatural chills but also powerful tales of human perseverance.
Anna Popplewell’s Fresh Perspective: Anna Popplewell, who stars as Kate, offers a fresh take on her character and the broader narrative of the film. Popplewell remarks on the refreshing portrayal of women in the film, noting a clear departure from traditional horror damsel-in-distress tropes. Instead, the film celebrates a host of strong female characters joining forces against evil. Her experience with co-stars, especially Taissa Farmiga and Storm Reid, makes for a harmonious set. Popplewell paints a picture of a film where horror meets depth, character, and a touch of feminism.
As the credits roll on “The Nun II,” it becomes clear that this film is more than just a sequel; it’s a meticulously crafted journey into the eerie depths of horror. From the historically rich backdrops to the authentic costumes, from the spine-tingling real-life details to the complex characters, every aspect has been carefully woven together to create a cinematic experience that lingers long after the lights come on. As fans prepare to revisit the haunting halls of the Abbey of St. Carta, it’s these film facts that add an extra layer of intrigue and appreciation for the dark world of Valak in 1950s France.

“I think that it’s the idea of the ultimate evil possessing the vessel for the ultimate good,” says Peter Safran, producer for “The Nun II.” “I think nuns are supposed to be unabashedly good in the service of goodness, and the most evil thing is mocking that goodness by taking her form. I think that’s what it is that people really respond to.
“And let’s be honest, a lot of people are very scared of nuns in general, but I think from a supernatural thriller perspective, the idea of that evil embedded in what should be the epitome of good is just so sacrilegious and compelling.”
Directed by Michael Chaves, “The Nun II” finds Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) once again coming face-to-face with Valak, the demon nun, this time in France, where a priest has recently been murdered.
“I think Sister Irene is very reluctant to come back into this realm because of how close she had come to death in her first encounter with Valak,” says Safran. “But I think she realizes that because she’s the only one who’s faced Valak and survived, and she has vanquished the demon in battle at least once – I think she realizes that for the sake of good, she must do it. She was a novitiate in the first movie, but she is a nun now, and it is her duty to fight on the side of good. I think she realizes that her duty overcomes the natural fear that pervades her as a result of knowing she’s going to have to go back into battle against this epitome of ultimate evil.”
Another familiar face returning in the sequel is Frenchie, now called by his name Maurice. “Because Maurice [played by Jonas Bloquet] is based on a real character – and we introduced him in the original ‘Conjuring’ with Ed and Lorraine Warren [played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga] in that old footage – we loved the idea of the Maurice story and knew that we wanted to continue it well before it ever gets to the time in the late ’60s/early ’70s,” says Safran. “But what happens in the interim? Here he was in Romania, he survived the demon, and now what happens? We loved the idea of following him.”
Though some characters may be familiar, audiences must get ready for new and more frightening scare sequences. “It’s important that every movie that we make be a worthy successor to ‘The Conjuring’ name, so we wanted to make sure that we had a really original story that did not feel derivative,” Safran shares. “We love the idea of switching it up, and it’s more of an investigation this time. Then the stories coincide in the third act for the big, exciting finale. We wanted to make sure that the scare sequences felt fresh and not derivative of the earlier films… it was just about making sure that we delivered on every front – true stakes, great characters, unique scares – and just an intensity that makes it live up to ‘The Conjuring’ name. I think that [director] Michael Chaves brought it all together and that audiences are really going to enjoy ‘The Nun II.’”

“I’m really excited for audiences to see this movie, and I think that it is nightmarishly scary,” says Michael Chaves in an interview provided by the studio. “I love the theater-going experience, especially with horror movies. Being in a packed theater with friends and strangers is such an incredible and powerful experience. Along with the scares, it is filled with truly unique set pieces and a compelling story that takes characters whom we love further on their journey and into really hard places while making tough choices. The times that I’ve seen it with an audience have been really special and exciting, and I can’t wait for moviegoers to see this film.”
On his fascination with Valak, Chaves shares, “I think that the Demon Nun is one of those iconic movie monsters. I mean, you see it on a poster and it’s like a little bit of a throwback to Dracula. You see a little bit of Pennywise. You see a little Nosferatu. It’s so timeless and has such an iconic look. It’s one of the ultimate horror movie icons and one of the ultimate movie villains. With this film, I just wanted to take it further. I wanted to explore the manifestations. And I also just wanted to dig more into the story, or at least the myth or the theories, of what its origins could be. I think it’s really important to do that, but to never be too specific. I think that part of the mystery and part of not knowing what it is, that’s really powerful. It’s what makes it truly scary.”
