‘The Nun 2’ First Trailer Conjures Valak’s Terrifying Return
Sister Irene is back to take on Valak and the demon’s minions in a terrifying trailer for The Nun 2.
The story starts with the Warrens discovering a powerful demonic force names Valak while investigating the Amityville murders in The Conjuring 2. The 2018 spin-off goes back on the timeline to find the source of the evil. A priest and a novice nun nearing her final vows are sent by the Vatican to investigate the death of a young nun in a Romanian convent. There they confront a malevolent force in the form of a nun.
The original earned an impressive $365 million at the worldwide box office, making it the most profitable in the Conjuring franchise. It was clear that Valak would be back to terrorize eager fans in a sequel.
