Invited by Warner Bros. Pictures Philippines, I just had the pleasure of attending a special screening of The Sister II at SM Megamall IMAX. Let me tell you, it’s a whirlwind of suspense and excitement, but not the kind you expect. This movie isn’t just about jump scares; it’s a masterclass in psychological horror.
In this chilling sequel, we reunite with Taissa Farmiga’s Sister Irene, who once again teams up with Bonnie Aarons’ villainous Valak goes head to head. This time, the battle between good and evil takes place within the bizarre confines of a Catholic boarding school in France. Sister Irene begins to suspect that her friend Frankie (Jonas Bloquet) may be the unknowing master of the devil, and she and skeptical Sister Debra (Storm Lee) (Germany) has the responsibility to prevent the coming terror.
Directed by Michael Chaves, this film takes you back in time to the 1950s with a gripping storyline that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It doesn’t rely on predictable jump scares, instead masterfully building spine-tingling tension. The characters find themselves in disturbing situations, and just when you think you’re safe, real terror begins to creep in.
But what sets The Nun II apart is its extraordinary storytelling. It delves into the fascinating legend of the blind patron saint Lucy and introduces a mysterious relic that may unlock Sister Irene’s family history. It’s an intellectual journey that elevates this horror movie above your average movie.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan of The Conjuring universe or a newbie, you’re in for a treat. The Nun II is more about playing mind games than making you jump out of your seat. Trust me, there’s a great scene involving a clay oven that you don’t want to miss.
Now that The Sister II is hitting the big screen, there’s no better time to gather your friends, grab some popcorn, and immerse yourself in a spine-tingling, psychologically tense horror experience. This is a cinematic journey that will leave a lasting impression.
