The Nun II Director Teases It’s the “Most Violent” Conjuring Movie Yet

New Line Cinema is getting ready to release the next big film in The Conjuring franchise with their sequel to the hit horror film, The Nun, and fans are ready to see what scares lay ahead. From everything we’ve seen in the first trailer for The Nun II, it looks like the people behind-the-scenes of the film are trying to up the scare factor. The Nun II director Michael Chaves reveals that this film will feature even more violence than the first.

The Nun II Director Teases Upcoming Sequel

It seems that The Nun II will be even more violent than the original, at least according to the director. In a new interview with SFX Magazine (via Games Radar), Chaves teases that the film takes the violence to the next level.

“I think that this does get darker. Even audiences have said this, when we screened it. It is definitely more violent than what they expected from a Conjuring movie,” Chavez revealed to the magazine. “It’s always a delicate balance. It’s definitely scary, it’s 100% delivered on that. Just as horror audiences have developed the appetite for horror, the appetite for violence has started to increase, and so there are some violent elements in this.”

What is The Nun II About?

The Nun II is described as follows, “New Line Cinema brings you the horror thriller The Nun II the next chapter in the story of The Nun, the highest grossing entry in the juggernaut $2 billion The Conjuring Universe. 1956 – France.
