The Nun II has one surprising death twist.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary While The Nun II might break a major horror franchise convention, the sequel’s surprising change turns out to be a good thing for the follow-up. The Nun II continues the fight with Valak, the demon that terrorized the main characters in The Conjuring 2 and The Nun. Even though her first movie outing performed poorly with critics, Valak still made a splash at the box office with The Nun earning $365 million upon release.
In addition to The Nun II’s impressive box office effectively ensuring another sequel, its surprisingly positive reviews provide a great deal of hope in terms of what the next installment might bring. Like Annabelle: Creation, this Conjuring universe sequel is arguably stronger than its predecessor and the movie managed this feat despite reversing a famous horror franchise trope. Whereas many horror movies up the ante in terms of gore with every new movie, The Nun II took another approach.
What makes the decreased number of deaths in The Nun II so unusual is the fact that, traditionally, horror franchises are expected to up their body counts with each sequel. It's natural for franchises throughout the genre’s history to try to keep viewers entertained by adding more carnage with every sequel, reboot, and remake. Thus, it was a bit of a surprise to see The Nun II tone down the violence of the original movie, particularly when The Nun was such a huge hit with audiences.
Why The Nun 2’s Lower Body Count Works The Nun II is a suspenseful haunting horror rather than a straightforward slasher, so its comparative lack of gore isn’t an issue for the story. The Nun II was able to focus on building tension with creepy sequences of unsettling children’s games and seemingly sweet characters unknowingly channeling Valek’s malignant spirit, both of which are much scarier than another gruesome death scene complete with CGI blood sprays.
