The darkest – and most financially successful – chapter in The Conjuring Universe continues in The Nun II this September, and the film has been officially rated “R” this week.
Like other films in The Conjuring Universe, The Nun II is rated “R” for…
“Violent content and some terror.”
For the sake of comparison, The Nun was also rated “R” back in 2018. That rating was handed in by the MPA for the film’s “terror, violence, and disturbing/bloody images.”
Valak returns in The Nun II from director Michael Chaves (Curse of La Llorona, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It). The sequel hits theaters on September 8, 2023.
Taissa Farmiga will be back as Sister Irene, with Bonnie Aarons again playing the demonic nun known as Valak. Storm Reid (“Euphoria”) will also star in the film.
Here’s the first The Nun II plot synopsis: “1956 – France. A priest is murdered. An evil is spreading. The sequel to the worldwide smash hit THE NUN follows SISTER IRENE as she once again comes face to face with the demonic force VALAK – THE DEMON NUN.”
Back in 2018, The Nun scared up a whopping $365 million at the worldwide box office, all but ensuring that we hadn’t seen the last of the demonic nun known as Valak.
In Corin Hardy’s The Nun, “A priest with a haunted past and a novice on the threshold of her final vows are sent by the Vatican to investigate the death of a young nun in Romania and confront a malevolent force in the form of a demonic nun.”
The new movie features a screenplay by Ian Goldberg & Richard Naing (Eli, The Autopsy of Jane Doe) and Akela Cooper (M3GAN, Malignant), with a story by Cooper.
