Let's break down James Wan's house of horrors, from demon nuns to deadly dolls.
The Big Picture The Nun II is in theaters now, the eighth movie in the supernatural franchise that includes main installments, spinoffs, and prequels, with no end in sight. Real-life paranormal investigations Ed and Lorraine Warren were either bonafide demon-fighting badasses or a married couple who threw holy water onto several severely mentally ill people throughout their careers, depending on your beliefs in the occult. What no one expected them to be, though, were box office giants.
After 90 straight minutes of people saying "hello?" at dark corners, Burke, Irene, and Frenchy manage to use the abbey's hidden artifact — a vial of Jesus Christ's blood — to banish Valak back to Hell. Or so they think! Before the crew rides off into the sunset, the camera catches an upside-down cross on the back of Frenchy's neck. This will be very important when we come back around to both The Conjuring and The Nun II.
There were three survivors of the first Nun: Frenchie isn’t doing too hot, and Father Burke is killed off-screen from an illness, leaving Sister Irene as the solo character in a somewhat better condition. But that isn’t saying much. After defeating Valak the first time, Sister Irene is left disturbed, reclusive, and having more powerful visions. She’s forced into investigating these deaths, and with the help of noviciate Sister Debra , the women journey across France for answers.
Or does it? In Annabelle's closing moments, a woman buys the doll in a toy shop; it's a gift, she says, for her daughter Debbie. As it turns out, a nursing student named Debbie is discussing all the nocturnal shenanigans her inanimate doll is getting up to during the first scene of... 2) When Carolyn Perron meets the Warrens, they're delivering a lecture on possession at Massachusetts Western University. The subject? Maurice "Frenchy" Theriault from the Nun movies, who is still very much possessed by Valak. During Maurice's exorcism, Lorraine encounters Valak for the first time, a relationship that is key to the plot of The Conjuring 2. But first...
The assembled crew of terrors and ghosts horrifying the three girls en masse is a blast to watch but ends with a bit of an anticlimactic thud. Judy, following the advice of a ghost-priest who is shockingly helpful given the fact he looks like a melted Halloween decoration, simply locks Annabelle back in her case, which gets all the other artifacts to quit their yammerin'.
Because of her ominous visions, Lorraine is hesitant to take on the Enfield case, but Ed, armed with a sweet-as-hell Elvis impression, is eager to help. As it turns out, help might not even be needed. Security footage catches Janet smashing plates in her kitchen, suggesting she's orchestrating a hoax.
