Excited for The Nun II? Prep for it with this fun but terrifying listicle on movies to watch in chronological order from the Conjuring universe.
It's almost spooky season and our urge to binge-watch horror films is back! As horrorphiles, we don't get scared by a random doll in a horror film, rather, we enjoy the thrill and suspense. We belong to that category of people who find horror movies comforting rather than traumatic because these movies also help us release stress and our tension in a satisfying and relaxing way. Moreover, horror movies allow us to face and cope with own own fears and anxieties in a safe and controlled environment. Sure, some of the scenes can be triggering to some viewers but the sense of relatability always gives warmth and comfort that honestly even rom-coms can't!
If you're an avid horror follower and looking for something to binge on, The Nun II is perfect for your cravings this weekend. This film is set in 1956 in France, where a priest is murdered and an evil force is spreading. Sister Irene, who had previously encountered the demonic nun Valak in Romania, is sent to investigate the case and stop evil from spreading. She will have to faceValak again and uncover the connection between the demon and the Warrens, the paranormal investigators from The Conjuring films. To keep a better track of the plot we've curated the list of movies for you to watch in chronological order before The Nun II.
