The Nun 2 Director Thought He Fooled Everyone With That End Credits Scene
0In a solid year for Horror movies at the box office, The Nun II brought audiences back to The Conjuring universe for another spooky showdown with everyone's favorite demonic nun, Valak. The sequel has brought in a decent $268 million haul worldwide and holds a 73% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Taissa Farmiga returns as Sister Irene in an installment penned by Akela Cooper and directed by franchise veteran Michael Chaves. The story sees Sister Irene take on Valak once again after the demon escapes the events of the first film by possessing Frenchie (Jonas Bloquet).
The Nun II bridges the wildly successful The Nun back into the events that were established in The Conjuring and delivers a long-awaited answer to how Sister Irene is connected to franchise mainstay Lorraine Warren, played by Taissa Farmiga's real-life sister Vera Farmiga. The film features several solid scares and introduces new terrifying monsters to the series.
Ahead of The Nun II's 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD release, I sat down with director Chaves to break down the horror sequel and discuss some of the key points in the latest installment of the Conjuring franchise. During our conversation, Chaves spoke about the inspiration for the new goat demon and explained why he wanted to take the connection between Irene and Lorraine beyond Easter eggs. He also cleared up where that post-credits scene fits into the Conjuring timeline and shared what he believes are the essentials of a good scare. While Chaves also spoke excitedly about deleted scenes for the sequel, Warner Bros. confirmed that there will be no deleted scenes featured on the Blu-ray or DVD releases. That minor disappointment aside, Chaves continued to speak about the thrill of working in the Horror genre and collaborating with talents like Farmiga and Cooper.
