The Nun II is poised to become the creepiest film of New Line’s The Conjuring Universe. The highly anticipated sequel to The Nun has received an R rating from the Motion Picture Association for “Violent Content and Some Terror”.
In an interview with SFX Magazine, Michael Chaves, director of the film, revealed what fans can expect from The Nun II, highlighting it as probably the most violent movie of The Conjuring franchise. He confirmed that they escalated horror for the sequel by creating a much “darker “ and “more violent” story for Valak’s return.

“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,”
He continued: “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.”
