The Nun II Was a Divisive Entry Into the Conjuring Universe
The Nun II was a massive box office hit, pulling in over $270 million worldwide, but it proved to be among the more divisive movies in the franchise. The film received mixed reviews from critics and audience members alike, with complaints over a lack of originality, a confusing plot, and weak character development, and holds a 51% critic score and 72% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But if you’re going into the film looking for nothing but scares, you won’t be disappointed.
