“The Nun II” (** out of four) was an occasionally jolting sequel to the 2018 horror smash set in 1956 France in which a priest is murdered and a vindictive evil is spreading but sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) is determined to seek out its source and stay on in her convent until she comes face-to-face with the demon nun Valak. More mumbo-jumbo/demonic possession/pseudo-religious horror but is at least infused with a creepy atmosphere and does have a few minor scares. Incredibly, this film marks the 9th entry in the endless “Conjuring” franchise so it’s mostly for series fans and completists. If there are any more, it might be time to go back to confession again.
