Alien at the Movies

The Nun 2

It’s “The Exorcist” meets “Nancy Drew” when Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) returns to investigate mysterious deaths at churches throughout Europe. Back also is Maurice working as a handyman at a school for girls. Look for a few jump scares throughout & strain your eyes to see what lurks in the shadows. It’s slow to build up until near the end when the demon reveals itself. The best visual effect is the magazine rack & the wind gently blowing though the pages. Possession, an ancient relic, & faith dive this storyline. Who will survive? Can this demon be stopped or contained? A mid credits reveals a phone to the Warrens & possibly hinting to the next film in the Conjuring franchise.

Alien gives it 3 “blood of Christ & eyes of St. Lucie” stars out of 4.
