Director Michael Chaves, in an interview with Total Film Magazine, praised the iconic status of Valak, the demonic entity from “The Nun II.” With the film’s release set for September, audiences can anticipate another terrifying encounter with this classic movie monster. A new image from the movie showcases Taissa Farmiga reprising her role as Sister Irene, preparing to confront Valak once again.
Chaves compared Valak to legendary creatures like Pennywise, Dracula, and Nosferatu, emphasizing her rightful place among classic monsters. Drawing inspiration from these iconic figures, Chaves believes Valak belongs in the pantheon of horror’s most memorable beings. Chaves, who previously directed “The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It,” acknowledges the mixed critical response but highlights its significant box office success, grossing over $206 million worldwide.
In “The Nun II,” Chaves intends to focus more on Sister Irene’s story while keeping Valak shrouded in mystery to maintain suspense. Chaves recognizes the importance of preserving an element of the unknown when dealing with monsters and demons, as familiarity tends to diminish their fright factor. He suggests that the film will explore Valak’s intentions through ideas, backstory, and specific theories.
The Conjuring Universe, which began with James Wan’s horror film in 2013, has thrived over the past decade. With two sequels and several spin-offs like “Annabelle” and “The Nun,” the franchise has proven to be highly lucrative. Fans can look forward to another spine-chilling installment titled “The Conjuring: Last Rites,” featuring the return of Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorraine Warren.
