A new teaser trailer has been released for The Nun 2, which is the next installment of The Conjuring cinematic universe. The teaser offers up footage of the demonic Nun, Valak, terrorizing a group of children at a boarding school in France. If you’re looking to terrify people, that seems like it would be the perfect place to do it!
The movie is set in 1956 in France. “A priest is murdered. An evil is spreading. The sequel to the worldwide smash hit follows Sister Irene as she once again comes face-to-face with Valak, the demon nun.
In the story, there is a string of murders at the Vatican, and the church believes that Valak is the cause. So, they call in Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) to help and face off with the Nun again. Sister Irene is attempting to live a quite anonymous life in a convent in Italy, but that doesn’t turn out very well when Valak, is now possessing Irene’s friend Maurice (Jonas Bloquet).
The film’s director, Michael Chaves, previously explained that Sister Irene “had this traumatic experience, this huge adventure, and now she wants to live the life of service. Maurice made his way to France and he’s working at this boarding school as kind of a handyman. He has a friendship and a flirtation with one of the teachers there, and you can see him starting to mature, so that’s where our characters start out. But we know from the first film that there’s something terrible inside of him, that Valak escaped within him, and events pull Irene back on this collision course with her old friend.”
When previously talking about Valek, the director said: “I really think that the Nun is a classic movie monster.” He went on to drop some horror movie characters that he sees in the character, saying: “She reminds me of Pennywise and Dracula and Nosferatu. I see every classic monster when I look at her. I feel like she’s absolutely up there in that pantheon.”
The movie also stars Storm Reid (The Last of Us), Anna Popplewell (The Chronicles of Narnia) and Bonnie Aarons (The Nun).
The Nun 2 will be released in theaters on September 8th!
