Sister Irene is called upon by The Church to look into several strange and gruesome deaths of people attached to The Church. It is clear that The demonic Valek is back, and searching for something.
Better than the first movie, but then I would say that was below average in terms of quality, I do however enjoy the franchise. I don't honestly think prior knowledge of the first is essential here, for anyone unsure, you could pick this one up easily.
Plenty of jump scares, there's enough here to keep horror fans entertained, but if you're looking for an intricate and deep story, that's not really what this film is about.
Some great use of lighting, they got it spot on, it's very atmosphere and sinister, the subtle visions of The Nun appearing look great. The streets of France look amazing, and that array of classic cars was incredible.
There's some truly imaginative and atmospheric imagery, the scene with the magazines for me was the best of them, the trouble is, they showed all of the best bits in the trailers.
The nun itself, she was well used, the didn't make the mistake of over lighting her as they did in the first, she presented a real menace.
Several well known faces to watch out for good to see the likes of Suzanne Bertish and David Horovitch, for me it was Jonas Bloquet who stood out as Maurice
Overall, this was a lot better than I expected, I really would recommend it.
7/10.
