The Nun II is about the demon nun Valek whose back and more deadly and terrifying than ever.
Michael Chaves takes over directorial duties and does a much better job than he did with The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and The Curse of La Llorona. This leads me to believe that he's either getting better or perhaps the writer was better for this film. There is a chance for the latter as Ian Goldberg and Richard Naing wrote a pretty scary movie in The Autopsy of Jane Doe.
Taissa Farmiga, sister of Wan's favorite Vera Farmiga, returns as Sister Irene. This time she's paired up with Storm Reid who has a hard time emoting, even when she's screaming. Reid got lucky she was in 12 Years A Slave and then Hollywood decided to put her in everything. She hinders the movie more than helps it.
Anna Popplewell makes a surprising splash in the film as she wasn't really featured in the trailer. She has a face that fits the time period. I know that might be a weird thing to comment but she does have classic looks. You might wonder where you know her from. She was Susan in The Chronicles of Narnia.
I gave the first Nun a C+ which will probably upset fans in the future. I'm happy to say this is better than the first. B-
