Halloween is nearly here, and one of this fall’s scariest movies will arrive on streaming just in time for the spooky holiday.
Warner Bros.’ “The Nun II” will begin streaming on Max on Oct. 27, a few days before Halloween. The film, released in theaters on Sept. 8, is the latest chapter in the “Conjuring” horror franchise and opened to a solid $32.6 million at the box office.
The movie follows the characters from the original “Nun,” which was the highest-grossing moving in the entire “Conjuring” universe. Taissa Farmiga, sister of “Conjuring” star Vera Farmiga, returns as Sister Irene in “The Nun II.” Four years after vanquishing the Demon Nun and the evil, possessive entity Valak, things get hellishly twisted once again, this time at a boarding school in France. The cast includes Jonas Bloquet, Storm Reid, Anna Popplewell and Bonnie Aarons as the titular, creepy Nun. Filmmaker Michael Chaves returns to the series after previously directing “The Curse of La Llorona” and “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.”

Variety film critic Dennis Harvey wrote in his review, “Now on its ninth feature entry in just a decade, the ‘Conjuring’ franchise has proved something of a powerhouse in the continued growth of horror as one of the most reliably popular (not to mention cost-effective) mainstream film genres. Their mythologies may be garbled and silly, the scares mostly ‘jump’ ones, yet these movies provide a kind of creepy comfort food — familiarly formulaic jolts unlikely to trouble any non-child viewer’s sleep later on — whose satisfactions are amplified by the good actors and superior atmospherics deployed.”
